Interface overview

Step 2. Configure the Scan

In the left panel:

  1. Select a period — click one of the presets: 1d, 7d, 14d, 30d
  2. Select exchanges — check at least 2 exchanges, or click Select All
  3. Optionally: configure a strategy

Minimum 2 Exchanges Required

To calculate an arbitrage spread you need at least 2 exchanges. The spread is the difference between the highest and lowest funding rate across your selection.

Step 3. Run the Scan

Click the Scan Market button. The scanner will:

  • Fetch historical funding data for all available tickers
  • Display a progress bar and elapsed time
  • Sort results by spread (best opportunities at the top)

Result Caching

Scan results are saved to localStorage. If you reopen the page with the same parameters, data will load instantly without another server request.

Step 4. Explore the Results

Each row in the results list shows:

  • Symbol — the ticker name (e.g., ETHUSDT)
  • Spread % — the funding rate difference between the best exchanges over the selected period
  • Best Pair — the exchange pair offering the maximum spread (long exchange / short exchange)

Click any ticker to open its detailed analysis in the center panel.

Step 5. Add a Position to the Portfolio

When you find a suitable ticker:

  1. Click + Portfolio in the center panel
  2. Fill in the exchanges, amount, and entry date
  3. The position will appear in the Portfolio on the right
