Methodology

How cross-exchange spot arbitrage opportunities are verified

Cross-exchange crypto arbitrage depends on executable prices and a usable transfer route, not just quoted prices. ArbPing creates estimates from market data and does not predict returns; every alert still requires manual review.

No auto-trading, no custody, and no profitability promise.

Alerts are for manual review only. No auto-trading and no final profit promise.

depth5

Alerts pass explainable filters before distribution

These rules describe the public calculation boundary and do not change the current scanning strategy.

depth501

First-round depth preview

The first round uses depth5 order-book previews to estimate whether limited-depth space exists. It is not a fill guarantee or full-book view.

5 USDT+02

Preview value threshold

The current first-round preview focuses on candidates with estimated value above 5 USDT. Commercial distribution then applies member rules so low-quality noise is not pushed to users.

fees03

Fee assumptions

The commercial scanner currently assumes a 0.1% taker fee on the buy side and a 0.1% taker fee on the sell side. Users must still review their own VIP fees, withdrawal costs, and actual slippage; alert values are estimates, not guaranteed net returns.

route04

Route safety state

Deposit or withdrawal disabled routes, maintenance, and route_blocked cooldowns must not be released by missing snapshots. Paid plans cannot bypass global route safety.

01

Order-book depth and executable size

A crypto price difference between exchanges is not actionable without available quantity. The system uses depth5 previews to estimate executable size; this is not a fill commitment.

02

Fees and spreads

Alerts estimate opportunity value from buy prices, sell prices, the current fee assumption, and available depth. The commercial taker fee assumption is 0.1% on each side, so users must still check their own fees, withdrawal costs, and slippage.

03

Token contracts and common transfer networks

The same ticker does not always identify the same asset. Buy and sell contracts and networks are compared, and a route needs withdrawal on the buy exchange plus deposit on the sell exchange. Missing evidence remains unverified.

04

Freshness and verification

Older snapshots lower confidence. The system should retain snapshot time, verification time, and risk flags so stale data is not presented as a live opportunity.

Risk boundaries stay visible

Pages and alerts avoid profit promises and focus on estimated opportunity value, snapshot freshness, route status, fee assumptions, and user responsibility.
