1 ok · 4 to watch
  • Watch: Thin at this size85.1 / 77.3 bp
    At $10k entering BingX costs 85.1 bp, fee and slippage, 1.1× MEXC’s.
  • Note: Margin at max leverage— + $500
    BingX —, 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: −$1.50Long BingX: 3 payments, −$1.50; short MEXC: 3 payments, $0.00.
  • Watch: Gap narrower than usual−0.213% vs +0.103%
    Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
  • Watch: Short leg is thinner$684K vs $959K OI
    MEXC sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
  • Note: No points program—
    Neither exchange runs points right now.
  • Watch: KYCBingX Yes · MEXC Yes
    Advanced KYC to deposit or trade; unverified accounts can only withdraw, up to 20,000 USDT a day. Rules vary by region.
