2 ok · 4 to watch
  • Watch: Thin at this size28.6 / 16.6 bp
    At $10k entering Phemex costs 28.6 bp, fee and slippage, 1.7× TxFlow’s.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $833
    Phemex 20x, TxFlow 12x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
  • Watch: Payment intervals differ4h / 1h
    Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
    Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: −$62.59Long Phemex: 6 payments, −$65.59; short TxFlow: 24 payments, +$3.00.
  • OK: Entry gap works for you−0.076% vs −0.113%
    You short the dearer leg. If the gap goes back to average, the short gains.
  • Watch: Short leg is thinner$71K vs $1.3M OI
    TxFlow sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
  • OK: Points on a legTxFlow points
    Volume here counts toward the points program.
  • Watch: KYCPhemex Yes · TxFlow No
    KYC unlocks spot and futures trading; an unverified account cannot withdraw at all.
