ENGLISH VERSION

Hello everyone!!! In the previous post, I showed you the interest in HBD that I had received over the past 18 months. You can check it out here Today, as I promised in that post, I'm going to do an experiment to see how cheaply I can buy HBD, losing as little as possible due to spreads on Tribaldex and withdrawal fees. First, I bought DOGE on MEXC to deposit it into MEXC. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-05 183031.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX3wZJXA9ZADVn5YvuPmXnpSrkry23diyz6tQ6Qbu8PHR/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-05%20183031.png) Yes, I know what you're thinking. By depositing DOGE, I'll have to pay the deposit fee and, on top of that, I'm at the mercy of the selling price. Normally, the best option is to buy Hive and then use that Hive to directly buy HBD, but in this particular instance they were buying Doge at about 1% higher than on MEXC, so I gained roughly 0.25%, minus the deposit fee. Shark mind 🦈🦈 With that DOGE, I bought 15% of it in Hive, and that's where the real journey begins 😅😅 The ask (the price they’re selling at) was 4.65 HIVE ($1.01) and the bid (buying price) was 4.59 ($0.99). The day I bought $1000 worth of HBD, I bought at the ask, paying an extra 0.015 for each HBD. This time, what we’re going to try is to buy directly by placing a BID order. The key was to try to get it as cheap as possible, but since the current order at 4.59 wasn’t getting filled, I had to gradually raise it until they started selling... I placed bids at 4.60 and 4.61, and nothing—until finally they started filling my order at 4.62. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-04 041010.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6bjUN33jN43bqyRWebxuyg1PZ84w4CZBYy2tsmVaVm8/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-04%20041010.png) Apparently, a bot started buying from me in very small amounts, until finally everything was sold. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-04 035313.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfNAMshd9A68PdfsjPPVdVd8mAEK9Kpd1Nt3w8QCsiWEw/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-04%20035313.png) This left me with 14.8260 HBD. Now I just had to withdraw 😑 ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-05 184104.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUbQbv7CVZxkTWSgk139xUo5t5URYf1HCMjefvrBREfiQ/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-05%20184104.png) If we do the math (the 14.714 I received, multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial $15), it gives us 98.093, meaning I lost 1.906% 💦💦💦💦 In the first trade I made in this post, I lost 2.63%. It’s an improvement, but I think it can still be optimized a bit more. I’ll try again...

VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL

Muy buenas a todos!!! En el anterior post os mostré los intereses en HBD que había recibido en estos últimos 18 meses. Podéis verlo aquí Hoy, como prometí en dicho post, voy a hacer un experimento para ver cuan barato puedo comprar el HBD, perdiendo lo menos posible entre spreads en tribaldex y comisiones de retiro. Primero compré DOGE en Mexc para depositarlo en MEXC. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-05 183031.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmX3wZJXA9ZADVn5YvuPmXnpSrkry23diyz6tQ6Qbu8PHR/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-05%20183031.png) Si, se lo que estás pensando. Al depositar DOGE, tendré que pagar el fee de déposito y encima estoy a merced del precio que me den al venderlo. Normalmente, lo mejor es comprar Hive y con ese Hive comprar HBD directamente, pero en esta instancia particular estaban comprando Doge alrededor de un 1% mas caro que en mexc, así que me ganaba 0.25% aprox menos la comision de depósito. Mente de tiburón🦈🦈 Con ese Doge compré 15% de Hive y aquí empieza la verdadera travesía😅😅 El ask (el precio al que te venden) estaba a 4.65HIVE (1.01$) y el bid (precio de compra) estaba a 4.59 (0.99$). El día aquel que compré 1000$ de HBD, le compré al del ask pagando 0.015 extra por cada HBD. Lo que vamos a intentar esta vez, es tratar de comprar directamente poniendo una orden BID. La clave era tratar de conseguirlo lo más barato posible, pero como la orden actual de 4.59 no se completaba, habría que ir subiendo hasta que empezaran a comprar.. Puse bids en 4.60 y 4.61 y nada, hasta que por fin empezaron a comprarme en 4.62. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-04 041010.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmV6bjUN33jN43bqyRWebxuyg1PZ84w4CZBYy2tsmVaVm8/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-04%20041010.png) Al parecer, un bot me empezó a comprar en muy pequeñas cantidades, hasta que al final se vendió todo. ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-04 035313.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfNAMshd9A68PdfsjPPVdVd8mAEK9Kpd1Nt3w8QCsiWEw/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-04%20035313.png) Esto me dejó 14.8260 HBD. Ahora solo faltaba retirar😑 ![Captura de pantalla 2025-04-05 184104.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUbQbv7CVZxkTWSgk139xUo5t5URYf1HCMjefvrBREfiQ/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202025-04-05%20184104.png) Si hacemos el cálculo (Los 14.714 que he recibido multiplicado por 100 y dividido por los 15$ iniciales) nos da un 98.093, es decir, hemos perdido 1.906%💦💦💦💦 En el primer trade que hice en este post, perdí 2.63%. Es un avance, pero creo que se puede exprimir un poco más. Lo volveré a intentar... ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfSZpCXPJWXd6W61Y2Knxj56XbLNJGwn3jyYuvscbFVFC/image.png)
