如果今晚交易所暂停提现，你还能平仓吗？平仓之后，保证金又能不能转回自己的钱包？ 做永续合约，我会把这两个问题分开看。最近几家交易所的案例，正好说明了原因。 10 月 29 日，Binance 热钱包遭攻击。据币安披露，约 63.4 亿美元资产受到影响，平台一度暂停提现。币安表示损失由平台承担，截至 10 月 31 日，已补回 98% 的受影响代币资产。对交易者来说，即使平台有能力承担损失，什么时候能把钱转走，仍取决于它何时恢复提现。 地区政策也会直接改变一笔交易。MEXC 分批停止向荷兰用户提供服务，受影响的用户需要在各自的截止日期前处理持仓、提走资产。Bitget 则宣布停止向法国居民提供服务，并从 3 月 31 日起陆续平掉剩余仓位。你原本打算持有多久是一回事，平台允许你持有多久是另一回事。 风险也延伸到个人信息。2025 年，Coinbase 披露，攻击者通过收买客服人员获取了部分客户资料。即使密码和私钥没有泄露，这些资料也足以让冒充客服的钓鱼消息更有迷惑性。 这也是我看重自托管 DEX 的原因：如果用户能在链上核验抵押品，并直接通过合约提取资金，就能少依赖平台一次人工审批。我会追问一句：如果官网打不开，甚至撮合引擎停了，这条退出路径还走得通吗？ 我自己使用 @QFEX，主要看中它的全天候市场。比如美股盘后发布财报时，我可以查看对应股票永续合约的盘口，按当时的深度决定是否对冲。QFEX 支持用 USDC 入金，也提供指数和大宗商品永续合约。它采用混合架构：撮合和清算在链下完成，资金由第三方托管。平台公布了紧急情况下结算仓位、核对余额的流程，同时仍有地区准入和提现限制。 合作披露：我与 QFEX 有推广合作，已将我的直推佣金全部让给受邀用户。符合条件的用户通过我的邀请链接注册，可享 37% 交易手续费减免：qfex.com/@KIRST_1 你上一个永续合约平台，是先看手续费和盘口，还是也查过：极端情况下，谁有权放行你的保证金？

The tool I’d build on @QFEX is a Telegram bot for earnings season. A trader gets an alert when Nvidia reports, sees the spread on the NVDA perpetual, and can place a limit order right there. QFEX’s Builder Codes give developers a way to earn from a tool like that. When an order placed through your app fills, you can earn up to 50% of the trading fee. Here’s what that looks like in dollars. In QFEX’s example, a $100,000 single-stock taker fill at Tier 5 generates a $100 fee. At the 50% share, the builder earns $50. Maker fills and higher fee tiers pay less. The integration works at the session level. Create a builder code in Developer Settings, connect the user through QFEX OAuth or a wallet, and include builder_code when authenticating the Trade WebSocket. Orders placed through that session inherit the code, including stops and TWAPs. I’d start with one question before writing the bot: when earnings hit, what do you wish your current trading app showed you before you placed the order? Builder docs: docs.qfex.com/qfex/builder-c…

If @QFEX trading stopped tomorrow, who would verify my balance, who could authorize my withdrawal, and which document could I rely on to make my claim? That’s the question I kept coming back to while researching QFEX. I trade on the platform and work with the team on promotion, so the answer matters both to me and to the people who read my work. @annanay and @joshuawharton, I’d welcome your perspective. I closed the article with five questions about the group’s legal entities, the licensing record after the 2025 Bermuda warning, how customer assets are reconciled, when the recovery process was last tested, and how much liquidity remains overnight and on weekends. The one I’d start with is the recovery test. When did the team last simulate a matching-engine failure, and how did it verify what each customer could withdraw? I’d also be interested in Pete Koomen’s and Yuri Sagalov’s perspectives as early backers and advisers. Which of these questions did you spend the most time on with the founders? If there’s a public document I missed, a link in the replies would help. I’ll update the article with any answers or corrections and credit the source.

Lighter RH Update: +173.5% More Points, But I Stopped Trading. A slightly delayed Friday farming report on @Lighter_xyz. My points balance has grown significantly since my previous update, but this past week I deliberately reduced my trading activity. Previous Update — October 29: Total Points: 13.632292 Leaderboard Rank: #5,750 Current Update — November 7: Total Points: 37.289536 Leaderboard Rank: #3,639 The Difference: +23.657244 Points (+173.54%) +2,111 positions on the leaderboard These numbers reflect the change between my two snapshots, including any distributions during that period. Why Did I Stop Farming? For the past week, I haven’t opened any new trades. Instead, I’ve been holding my existing GOOGL LONG position. While holding it, I’ve continued accumulating some Live Points, but my trading activity has been minimal. That means fewer opportunities to earn additional points. And I’m fine with that. My Current base:0xb2000000000000000000002d0ba3164cc74f58b7 Position: Position: LONG Leverage: 10x Size: 69.0747 GOOGL Entry: $289.50 Current Price: $285.48 Unrealized PnL: -$277.69 (-13.89%) GOOGL is currently around 1.4% below my entry price. I’m waiting for an opportunity to close this position around break-even or in profit rather than realizing the loss just to resume farming. A recovery isn’t guaranteed, and I’m continuing to monitor my margin and liquidation risk. My Takeaway My total points have increased substantially since the last report, but my current farming pace is much slower. I’m choosing to manage my existing exposure instead of opening additional trades purely to generate points. Sometimes fewer points are an acceptable trade-off. I’ll share the next update when I close my GOOGL position or make a meaningful change to the strategy.

Would you take the loss and resume farming, or wait for a potential recovery? #Lighter #RobinhoodChain #DeFi #RWA

My strongest thesis for 2027: RWA becomes crypto’s defining narrative. The opportunity is bigger than putting stocks on a blockchain. It’s changing how assets are traded, settled and used as collateral. Here’s why I’m paying attention 👇 1️⃣ The demand already exists. People already want access to Treasuries, equities, credit and commodities. RWA projects can serve those existing markets by making financial products easier to distribute and use. They still need to deliver better execution, lower costs or more useful access. 2️⃣ Institutional adoption is becoming practical. BlackRock’s BUIDL already has an integration with UniswapX through Securitize, enabling eligible, whitelisted investors to trade fund shares onchain. Traditional assets connecting to crypto liquidity is already happening. (blog.uniswap.org) 3️⃣ The bigger opportunity comes after tokenization. Issuing a token is one step. Making that asset useful across trading, payments and collateral is where the potential expands. Faster settlement, programmable transactions and connected liquidity could give users reasons to stay beyond an incentive campaign. 4️⃣ Infrastructure could capture lasting value. I’m watching exchanges, custody, pricing infrastructure and collateral systems. My questions are simple: • Are users returning without rewards? • Is the liquidity actually executable? • What rights does the asset holder have? • Where does revenue go? Sector growth alone won’t make every “RWA token” valuable. 5️⃣ We may still be early in adoption. The first experiments are behind us. Broad integration into everyday financial activity is a much bigger challenge—and potentially a much bigger opportunity. That’s why dismissing the entire sector now looks shortsighted to me. You don’t need to buy every launch. But waiting until everyone understands the opportunity means giving up the chance to develop an informed view early. One distinction matters: owning a tokenized asset, trading a stock perpetual and holding a platform token are three different exposures. My bet is that 2027 rewards projects that turn tokenization into products people repeatedly use. Which RWA use case breaks out first: Treasuries, equities or collateral? 👇

Tokenizing assets is only the beginning. Where do those assets trade—and who gets to see your activity? That’s what caught my attention about @TitanExchange_ 👇 Titan is building a trading venue on Canton Network, with an ambition to bring crypto, equities and private assets into a 24/7 trading experience. Its proposed design combines: → An anonymized central limit order book → Sub-second matching and private dark pools → Transaction details shared with entitled participants → Permissionless trading alongside a separate verified venue for users who need identity and risk controls. (titanx.cc) My take: privacy could become an important part of the RWA story. As more financial assets move onchain, traders will care about execution, liquidity and how much of their activity becomes visible to competitors. A venue that handles those needs well could have a reason to exist beyond incentives. Titan’s website currently directs users to its testnet. The broader product vision still needs to prove itself through reliable execution, usable liquidity and actual market availability. That makes this a project I want to research early. I’ll be watching how the product develops, which assets become available, and whether its privacy model delivers a better trading experience.

QFEX 的 RWA 未平仓量已经超过 Lighter，但这还不是完整的故事。 我整理了 DefiLlama 排名前 20 的 RWA 永续合约平台：哪些是 CEX，哪些被归类为 DEX，谁已经发币，以及交易数据到底如何。 最后聊聊我为什么关注 QFEX，以及给社区争取的手续费优惠 👇 📍数据快照：2026 年 11 月 6 日 统计范围：DefiLlama 的 RWA Perps 板块，并非各交易所的全部交易量。 ① 前 20 名：平台类型与代币状态 【11 家 CEX】 #1 Binance — BNB #3 MEXC — MX #4 Gate — GT #5 OKX — OKB #6 WhiteBIT — WBT #7 Bybit — 无独立交易所平台币* #8 BingX — 无原生代币 #11 KuCoin — KCS #15 Phemex — PT #16 Delta Exchange India — DETO 属于全球版 Delta* #20 Kraken — 无独立交易所平台币* 【9 家被归类为 DEX 的平台】 #2 @tradexyz — 无原生代币 #9 @variational_io — 已公布 VAR，尚未 TGE #10 @Aster_DEX — ASTER 已上线 #12 @QFEX — 尚未发币 #13 @gmtrade_xyz — GT Points 阶段，尚未发币 #14 @Lighter_xyz — LIT 已上线 #17 @arcus_xyz — 无原生代币 #18 @Ondo — 已有生态代币 ONDO* #19 @entropyIO — 尚未确认原生代币上线 *几个容易混淆的地方： MNT 属于 Mantle，INK 对应 Ink 生态；DETO 不应被当作印度版 Delta 单独发行的代币；ONDO 不是独立的永续合约产品代币。 同样，HYPE 属于 @HyperliquidX ，不是 trade[XYZ] 或 Entropy 各自的平台币。 “还没发币”也不等于“未来一定空投”。 ② DEX 数据对比 以下依次为： 未平仓量 OI / 24 小时交易量 / 30 天交易量 单位均为美元，M = 百万，B = 十亿。 • @tradexyz $2.180B / $8.693B / $98.445B • @variational_io $364.44M / $1.244B / $45.893B • @Aster_DEX $259.10M / $974.43M / $18.145B • @QFEX $167.52M / $505.43M / $10.493B • @gmtrade_xyz $157.68M / $1.284B / $20.733B • @Lighter_xyz $115.39M / $618.94M / $10.403B • @arcus_xyz $70.35M / $317.43M / $6.620B • @Ondo $69.98M / $505.45M / $7.096B • @entropyIO $68.71M / $137.45M / $1.904B 这组数据里，QFEX 的 OI 比 Lighter 高约 45%，30 天交易量基本持平，但 24 小时交易量仍低于 Lighter。 Variational 的整体规模则明显更大。 ③ 我怎么看这些数字？ 交易量反映成交活跃度，OI 反映尚未平仓的敞口。 但这两个指标，都不能直接告诉你：自己的订单会以什么成本成交。 我更关心： • 我的仓位规模对应多大的滑点？ • 买卖价差和盘口深度如何？ • 持仓期间的资金费率是多少？ • 资金由谁托管，如何结算？ QFEX 有 213 个被追踪的市场，选择确实丰富，但市场数量不能代替执行质量。 还有一点：DefiLlama 将 QFEX 标为 DEX / Permissioned。不能因为都叫“DEX”，就认为它们的架构和托管模式完全相同。 ④ 为什么我继续关注 QFEX？ Lighter 和 Aster 已经发币，Variational 已宣布计划在 2026 年第四季度进行 VAR TGE。 QFEX 则仍处于已公布的 Season 0 阶段，尚未发币。 创始人表示，团队一直在记录早期交易、产品反馈和社区贡献，并将在 Season 0 中认可这些参与。 这也是我关注潜在追溯积分的原因：早期参与记录已经在积累。 但目前积分公式、分配比例和发放日期尚未公开。我会参与，也会控制成本，不把未来奖励当作确定收益。 ⑤ 新活动：Daily Auction 启动时间： 11 月 9 日 14:00 UTC 北京时间 11 月 9 日 22:00 主要规则： • 奖池从 $2,000 起，随参与者交易活动增长。 • 符合条件的奇数排名可分享奖池。 • 得分和获奖排名影响奖励金额。 • 在 Rewards Hub 报名并绑定 X 账号。 • 每个每日轮次都需要重新报名。 • 在 Daily Auction 页面查看排名和预估奖励。 注意：预估奖励会变化，最终以结算结果为准。 我的原则很简单：先算交易成本，再看榜单奖励。 ⑥ 给通过我链接加入的朋友 我已设置将自己的 30% 直接邀请佣金全部分享给直邀用户。 按后台显示，这项设置生效后： → 直邀用户的总交易手续费折扣为 37% → 我保留的直接邀请佣金比例为 0% 这是我在当前直接佣金比例下，能够让给大家的最大优惠。 加入链接👇 qfex.com/@KIRST_1 目前截图显示为 Scheduled split。交易前请确认账户中的 37% 优惠已经生效。 利益披露：我是 QFEX 合作推广伙伴，会继续分享自己的使用体验和数据观察。 最后想听听大家的真实答案： 如果明天所有积分和交易奖励都取消，你还会继续使用哪一家平台？为什么？ 数据来源： defillama.com/rwa/perps 活动详情： qfex.com/daily-auction

An odd-numbered rank could be your winning ticket 👀 @QFEX is launching Daily Auction on November 9 at 14:00 UTC, with a prize pool starting at $2,000 and growing with participant trading activity. Here’s how it works 👇 • Register through the Rewards Hub and connect your X account. • Trade across any markets to climb the score leaderboard. • At settlement, qualifying odd-numbered ranks receive a share of the pool. • Your score and winning rank determine your payout. The Daily Auction tab lets you track your rank, nearby competitors and estimated payout. The key detail: you need to register again for each daily round. Yesterday’s registration doesn’t carry over. My take: watch trading costs as closely as the leaderboard. An estimated prize can change before settlement, and chasing a rank only makes sense if the numbers work for you. I’ve also arranged full sharing of my direct referral commission, bringing the total trading-fee discount for my referrals to 37% once the scheduled split is active. Join through my link 👇 qfex.com/@KIRST_1 Check that the 37% discount is active in your account before trading. Full campaign details: qfex.com/daily-auction Disclosure: I’m a QFEX affiliate.

Lighter RH Week 13: The Hedge Rules Just Changed. If you’re still using last week’s delta-neutral setup, read this before opening your next position. @Lighter_xyz has updated its Robinhood Chain Points documentation for November 6–12. And there’s one major change. 1. The 2.5x Hedge Boost Has a New Direction For Week 13, ALL eligible market categories now follow the same setup: Crypto: RH LONG / Core SHORT Commodities & ETFs: RH LONG / Core SHORT Equities & Pre-IPO: RH LONG / Core SHORT This is a reversal for stocks and Pre-IPO markets. Last week, the boosted direction was RH SHORT / Core LONG. If you’re farming AAPL, AMD, GOOGL or other equity markets, don’t assume your previous hedge still qualifies. 2. Partial Hedges Also Qualify You don’t necessarily need a 100% hedge to receive a boost. Official example: $100 position on RH $50 opposing position on Core Hedge multiplier: 1.75x A fully matched or larger opposing Core position qualifies for the full 2.5x multiplier. Important: the hedge boost applies to Weekly Points only, not Live Points. 3. How Points Are Distributed Live Points: Calculated in real time using factors including trading volume, positions held and fees paid. Weekly Points: Based on activity from Friday through Thursday, with distributions every Friday. Standard-to-Standard activity does not earn points. 4. Additional Boosts Robinhood Wallet Mobile: 1–2x multiplier depending on the proportion of trading volume executed through the mobile wallet. Referral: +10% Weekly Points for referred traders. Market boosts: Earnings-related RWA markets, new listings and Pre-IPO markets may receive additional weighting. The exact scoring formula remains undisclosed. 5. My Strategy for Week 13 The new hedge rules create an opportunity to optimize points farming, but blindly increasing trading volume isn’t the answer. Here’s what I’m focusing on: Correct hedge direction: RH LONG / Core SHORT. Capital efficiency: Balance position sizes to qualify for the highest eligible hedge multiplier. Boost optimization: Combine applicable mobile, referral and market boosts. Risk management: Monitor margin requirements, funding rates and liquidation prices. Cost efficiency: Track trading expenses against actual points earned. The goal isn’t simply to generate more volume. It’s to maximize eligible points while keeping trading costs and risk under control. 6. Activate Your Referral Bonus If you’re planning to participate in Lighter RH Week 13, you can activate the eligible 10% Weekly Points referral bonus using my link: robinhoodchain.lighter.xyz/?… Referral link. Official documentation: docs.lighter.xyz/programs/li… Are you switching your hedge direction for Week 13, or sticking with your existing strategy? #Lighter #RobinhoodChain #DeFi #RWA

In other words, only selected markets that have a report this week, from Friday to Thursday, receive a boost for the report. The Upcoming Earnings tab is just a calendar of reports, not a boost list. META, ORCL and others with a report in a few weeks are not giving a boost now.; boost is only based on coins from @Lighter_xyz weekly post.

37% off trading fees on QFEX — coming to my referrals 👀 I’ve scheduled full sharing of my 30% direct referral commission. Once active, the dashboard shows a total fee discount of 37% for my referrals, with 0% direct commission retained by me. I’m working with @QFEX, and this is how I want to support the traders joining through my link: pass those savings back to you. Lower trading costs. More room for your strategy. Join here 👇 qfex.com/@KIRST_1 The new discount is scheduled, not active yet. Check your account’s applicable fee terms before trading.

Yes, it was a legendary time when everyone analyzed dropstab for the presence of this fund among investors and immediately got to work. You’re right, times are changing and now is a new era in crypto, where we can trade shares of $GOOGL $AAPL $TSLA and so on without any registration. Thanks to @xStocksFi, @variational_io,@QFEX , @Lighter_xyz @tradexyz for this opportunity.

RWA perps: 20 venues, 11 CEXs, 9 DEX-labelled platforms — and very different stages of token development. I compared DefiLlama’s top 20 by open interest. Here’s where QFEX fits 👇 Snapshot: Nov 5, 2026. These figures cover the RWA Perps dashboard, not each exchange’s entire trading business. THE TOP 20: CEX OR DEX? TOKEN OR NO TOKEN? @binance — CEX | BNB @tradexyz — DEX | No native token @MEXC — CEX | MX @Gate — CEX | GT @okx — CEX | OKB @WhiteBit — CEX | WBT @Bybit_Official — CEX | No standalone exchange token; MNT belongs to Mantle @BingXOfficial — CEX | No native token @variational_io — DEX | VAR announced, pre-TGE @Aster_DEX — DEX | ASTER live @kucoincom — CEX | KCS @gmtrade_xyz — DEX | GT Points; token launch pending @QFEX — DEX-labelled, permissioned | No token @Lighter_xyz — DEX | LIT live @Phemex_official — CEX | PT @Delta_Exchange — CEX | DETO belongs to global Delta; no separate India token confirmed @Ondo — DEX | ONDO ecosystem token, not a separate perps token @arcus_xyz — DEX | No native token @entropyIO — DEX | No native token launch confirmed @krakenpro — CEX | No standalone exchange token; Ink is a separate ecosystem HYPE is Hyperliquid’s token, not a separate trade[XYZ] or Entropy token. And “no token” does not automatically mean “future airdrop.” HOW DO THE DEXs COMPARE? Each line shows: Open interest / 24h volume / 30d volume • trade[XYZ]: $2.231B / $6.659B / $85.79B • Variational: $394.88M / $2.392B / $49.33B • Aster: $276.43M / $873.41M / $17.41B • GMTrade: $159.98M / $1.950B / $22.47B • QFEX: $151.55M / $496.18M / $10.24B • Lighter: $129.02M / $690.60M / $9.54B • Ondo: $81.07M / $492.76M / $6.41B • Arcus: $80.25M / $304.51M / $6.24B • Entropy: $64.70M / $106.22M / $1.71B MY TAKE @tradexyz leads this group. @variational_io is also significantly ahead of @QFEX. But QFEX already sits above Lighter in open interest and 30-day volume, despite trailing it in daily volume. QFEX also has 213 tracked markets. That gives traders a broad selection, although market count alone doesn’t tell us about spreads or execution quality. One distinction matters: DefiLlama labels QFEX a DEX with permissioned access. These platforms don’t all share the same architecture or custody model. WHY I’M FOLLOWING QFEX Aster and Lighter already have tokens. Variational has announced its VAR TGE for Q4 2026. QFEX has no token yet, and Season 0 has been announced. Its founder says the team has been tracking early trading activity, product feedback and community contributions. That creates a basis for recognizing past participation. Want to join me? 👉 qfex.com/@KIRST_1⁠ Referred traders receive a 10% trading-fee rebate under the published referral terms.

A roughly $500 account. Ranked #310 on QFEX’s 30-day PnL leaderboard. That’s my account in the screenshots. • Account value: $532.29 • 30-day leaderboard PnL: +$106.57 • Displayed ROI: +22.33% • Rank: #310 These are modest dollar amounts, yet they’re enough to put me around the top 300 in this ranking. For someone starting small, that’s encouraging. You don’t need a six-figure account to begin using the platform and tracking your progress. A leaderboard position doesn’t tell us the total number of active users, but it does show where a small account like mine can stand today. I’m now working with the @QFEX team and will keep sharing my own results, product walkthroughs and practical lessons as I explore the platform. If QFEX has been on your watchlist, take a look, learn the mechanics and start at a size you’re comfortable with. My results are a snapshot, not a promise of what you’ll earn.

Trading 24/7 doesn’t mean paying funding 24/7. I went through @QFEX ’s funding documentation. These details matter if you hold equity perps or hedge positions across exchanges. Settlement and trading hours Funding settles every 60 minutes, but only within each symbol’s configured market_hours. Outside that schedule, funding is zero and no payment is exchanged. The documented windows include: • Most USD equities: Sunday 20:00–Friday 20:00 ET. • Korean equities: weekdays 09:00–15:30 KST. • Gold and silver: Sunday 17:00–Friday 17:00 ET. • CL, US100 and US500: Sunday 17:00–Friday 16:00 CT, with a daily 16:00–17:00 pause. Check each symbol’s market_hours in /refdata for the authoritative schedule. How the rate is calculated The premium uses impact bid/ask prices relative to the index. Default impact notional is 1,000 USDC; GOLD and US100 use 10,000. Recent premium observations receive more weight. The final rate equals the weighted premium divided by 100, with both expressed in basis points. There’s no fixed interest component. The live funding stream shows an indicative rate, not a locked settlement rate. What this means in practice Here’s an illustrative calculation: A weighted premium of 20 bps produces funding of 0.2 bps, or 0.002%. Applied to a $10,000 position, that’s $0.20 for one settlement. That’s an example, not an expected return. For a cross-exchange hedge, I’d compare the actual funding schedules on both legs. If one venue pauses funding while the other keeps charging, matching long and short exposure won’t cancel that cost. I also wouldn’t multiply one hourly reading by 24 and assume that’s tomorrow’s result. Both the rate and the number of active settlement hours matter. And zero funding doesn’t remove spread, slippage, price divergence or liquidation risk. My takeaway: before opening a hedge, check the symbol’s schedule, the rate on each venue, and the full cost of entering and exiting.

QFEX is already competing with major exchanges on measurable activity. The attached DefiLlama snapshot puts @QFEX at #10 by open interest in this ranking, alongside Binance, OKX, Bybit and Variational. Here’s the comparison: @QFEX • $323.13M open interest • $223.73M daily volume • $2.785B weekly volume • $9.279B monthly volume • 209 tracked markets @Lighter_xyz • $122.77M open interest • $263.95M daily volume • $2.878B weekly volume • $8.408B monthly volume • 73 tracked markets @variational_io • $721.35M open interest • $637.64M daily volume • $11.227B weekly volume • $48.922B monthly volume • 134 tracked markets What stands out? QFEX has 2.63x Lighter’s OI and roughly 10% more monthly volume in this snapshot. Lighter leads on daily and weekly turnover, while Variational remains substantially larger by volume and OI. QFEX also has more tracked markets than either here. Those counts cover multiple asset classes, not just stocks. Now consider where each project stands: Lighter’s robinhood:0xeeca2e7dc194a320d349122d88259bb9595a4cb0 token is already trading. Variational has announced its VAR TGE for Q4 2026, with 32% of supply allocated to its genesis distribution based on points. QFEX has no announced token and is in Season 0. Its founder has said early trading, product feedback and community engagement will be recognized. That’s what interests me: an exchange already competing for substantial activity, while its early-user reward framework is still taking shape. I want to build an activity history during this stage and see how the product develops. Future points, their value and any token allocation remain unconfirmed, so trading costs still matter.
