Cheaper on paper, but not a walk-up option

These settle for less than anything above and the figure is real. It is also not the cost: the payer has to buy the asset and the recipient has to sell it, and both spreads are set by an exchange and not recorded here. Ranking them above rails you can walk up to would put a fraction of the price where the price belongs.
