Watch: Thin at this size6.1 / 37.1 bp
At $10k entering QFEX costs 37.1 bp, fee and slippage, 6.1× MEXC’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$200 + $1,000
MEXC 50x, QFEX 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: −$7.24Long MEXC: 3 payments, −$6.78; short QFEX: 24 payments, −$0.46.
