How futures arbitrage works

When the same asset trades at different prices-across exchanges or between spot and futures markets-go LONG where it is cheaper and SHORT where it is more expensive. If the spread narrows, you make a profit.

The captured spread is a gross result. Fees, slippage, funding and execution quality affect the final outcome.

Everything you need to evaluate a trade

The scanner updates prices across exchanges, pairs opposing positions, and ranks opportunities by spread. Funding data is displayed alongside each price opportunity.

Sort by price spread

See the largest price differences first and compare the same coin across exchange pairs.

Check funding before entry

The table shows the current rate, interval and annualized APR for both positions.

Open exchanges directly

Use direct market links when you prefer to place both orders manually.

Watch the live spread chart

Open the pair chart and see whether the spread is expanding, stable or converging.

Filter the market

Choose exchanges, whitelist or blacklist coins, and filter by volume, spread, funding, or spot availability.

How to evaluate a trade

A consistent process helps you identify opportunities that are genuinely worth trading.

Find the gap

Sort by price spread

Filter for sufficient spread and liquidity on the exchanges you use.

Check the full cost

Check funding before entry

Compare funding, trading fees and possible slippage.

Open both sides

LONG + SHORT

Open equal amounts of the asset: go LONG on the cheaper exchange and SHORT on the more expensive one.

Close both positions

What to check before every trade

Arbitrage reduces exposure to market direction, but it does not eliminate trading risk. A widening spread, costs, or funding payments can affect the outcome.

The spread may widen

Prices may not converge when you expect them to. A position can remain open longer or move further away from its entry level.

Fees and slippage matter

Opening and closing two positions incurs four sets of trading costs. Low-liquidity markets can also add slippage and a wide bid-ask spread.

Funding can help or hurt

Funding is paid or received while futures positions remain open. The rate and its direction can change after entry.

Execution may not be perfectly simultaneous

Manual orders can fill at different times. API execution is faster, but exchange, network and liquidity risks remain.

Questions before you start

What do I need to start?

Accounts on at least two supported exchanges and enough balance for opposite positions. API keys are optional for manual trading.

Can I trade spot against futures?

Yes. The scanner can include Spot + Futures and Futures + Futures opportunities when the selected exchanges support them.

Does Elixo Bots hold my money?

No. Funds remain in your exchange accounts. The service analyzes data and can send trading commands through connected API keys.

What spread is large enough?

There is no universal threshold. Compare the visible spread with fees, slippage, liquidity and expected funding before entry.

Can positions close without me watching?

Yes, on supported exchanges with API keys. Set an automatic closing spread and the service can close both positions when it is reached.
