1 ok · 4 to watch

Watch: Thin at this size17.8 / 22.4 bp
At $10k entering Paragon costs 22.4 bp, fee and slippage, 1.3× Gate’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$200 + $1,000
Gate 50x, Paragon 10x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
Watch: Payment intervals differ8h / 1h
Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$1.80Long Gate: 3 payments, $0.00; short Paragon: 24 payments, +$1.80.
OK: Entry gap works for you−0.137% vs −0.213%
You short the dearer leg. If the gap goes back to average, the short gains.
Watch: Short leg is thinner$98K vs $3.8M OI
Paragon sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
Note: No points program—
