Watch: Thin at this size56.4 / 41.4 bp
At $10k entering Gate costs 56.4 bp, fee and slippage, 1.4× MEXC’s.
Note: Margin at max leverage$500 + $500
Gate 20x, MEXC 20x. 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: −$73.86Long Gate: 3 payments, $0.00; short MEXC: 3 payments, −$73.86.
Watch: Gap narrower than usual−0.378% vs −0.353%
Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
Watch: Long leg is thinner$453K vs $1.8M OI
Gate sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
Note: No points program—
