1 ok · 3 to watch
  • Watch: Thin at this size15.6 / 6.3 bp
    At $10k entering Binance costs 15.6 bp, fee and slippage, 2.5× MEXC’s.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $100
    Binance 20x, MEXC 100x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
  • OK: Same payment interval8h / 8h
    Both legs pay at the same time.
    Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$15.18Long Binance: 3 payments, −$6.75; short MEXC: 3 payments, +$21.93.
  • Watch: Gap narrower than usual−0.051% vs −0.013%
    Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
  • Note: Short leg is thinner$3.5M vs $3.7M OI
    Both legs are deep; MEXC is the smaller one.
  • Note: No points program—
    Neither exchange runs points right now.
  • Watch: KYCBinance Yes · MEXC Yes
    Verified KYC to deposit or trade; futures accounts under 30 days old are capped at 20x.
