Watch: Thin at this size10.6 / 16.9 bp
At $10k entering Gate costs 16.9 bp, fee and slippage, 1.6× Paragon’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$1,000 + $200
Paragon 10x, Gate 50x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
Watch: Payment intervals differ1h / 8h
Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: −$1.80Long Paragon: 24 payments, −$1.80; short Gate: 3 payments, $0.00.
Watch: Gap narrower than usual+0.050% vs +0.214%
Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
Watch: Long leg is thinner$101K vs $3.8M OI
Paragon sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
Note: No points program—
Neither exchange runs points right now.
