dvcrn Arbitrage Finder 🔄
Discover cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities by scanning price differences, factoring in fees and transfer times, and scoring profitability.
How It Works — Step by Step
Step 1: Configure Exchanges
Set up the exchanges you want to monitor. The tool uses public ticker APIs (no API keys needed for price scanning).
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh config \
--exchanges "binance,okx,bybit,coinbase,kraken,kucoin"
Step 2: Scan for Opportunities
Run a scan across all configured exchanges for a specific asset or all tracked assets:
# Scan specific pair
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh scan --pair BTC/USDT
# Scan all tracked pairs
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh scan --all
# Scan with minimum spread threshold
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh scan --all --min-spread 0.5
Step 3: Analyze an Opportunity
When a spread is found, analyze it with fees and timing factored in:
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh analyze \
--pair ETH/USDT \
--buy-exchange binance \
--sell-exchange coinbase \
--amount 10000
This outputs:
- Buy price & total cost (including fees)
- Sell price & total revenue (minus fees)
- Network transfer fee and estimated time
- Net profit/loss after all costs
- Opportunity score (0-100)
Step 4: Review History
Track past opportunities and their outcomes:
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh history --days 7 --pair BTC/USDT
Step 5: Generate Report
bash scripts/arbitrage-finder.sh report --days 30 --output arb-report.html
Opportunity Scoring
Each opportunity is scored 0-100 based on:
| Factor | Weight | How It's Measured |
|---|---|---|
| Net Spread | 30% | Spread after ALL fees |
| Liquidity | 25% | Can you fill the order at quoted price? |
| Transfer Speed | 20% | Faster = less price risk |
| Historical Success | 15% | Has this route been profitable before? |
| Volatility Risk | 10% | Price change risk during transfer |
Score Interpretation
- 80-100 🟢 Strong opportunity — likely profitable
- 60-79 🟡 Moderate — profitable with good execution
- 40-59 🟠 Risky — tight margins, timing critical
- 0-39 🔴 Not recommended — fees likely eat the spread
