Before you open
1 ok · 5 to watch- Watch: Thin at this size381.1 / 15.2 bpAt $10k HTX’s book costs 381.1 bp to enter, 25.1× Lighter’s.
- Note: Margin at max leverage$1,000 + $2,000HTX 10x, Lighter 5x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
- Watch: Payment intervals differ8h / 1hPayments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: −$6.48Long HTX: 3 payments, $0.00; short Lighter: 24 payments, −$6.48.
- Watch: Gap narrower than usual+1.580% vs +1.897%Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
- Watch: Long leg is thinner$12K vs $110K OIHTX sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
- OK: Points on a legLighter Season 3Volume here counts toward the points program.
- Watch: KYCHTX Limited · Lighter NoNo ID for accounts opened since 2026-03-30: futures up to 5x and no API trading; more leverage and the API need level-2 KYC.
