Ticker Details

When you click a ticker in the results list, the center panel displays a full analysis: key metrics, market data, a funding rate chart, and a rate table across all exchanges.

Ticker Details

The header displays:

  • Symbol name with a clickable favorite star
  • Coin links — direct links to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap pages for the token (if available)
  • + Portfolio button — add the ticker to your portfolio with the best exchange pair pre-filled

Period Label

Below the header, the analyzed time period is displayed: "DD MMM YYYY — DD MMM YYYY", showing the exact date range of the current analysis.

Metrics

The metrics section shows the key performance indicators for the selected ticker:

MetricDescription
Total SpreadCumulative spread (%) between the best exchanges over the selected period
LongBest exchange for the long side + APR (annualized percentage rate)
ShortBest exchange for the short side + APR (annualized percentage rate)

The spread is highlighted with a distinct color to draw attention to the main arbitrage metric.

APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

APR represents the annualized return you would earn if the current funding rate persisted for a full year. See the Formulas page for the exact calculation.

OI / Volume Bar

When Open Interest and Volume data is available, a horizontal bar appears showing per-exchange market data:

  • OI (Open Interest) — displayed in formatted USD (e.g., $1.2M, $45K)
  • Volume — 24h trading volume in formatted USD
  • Each exchange's data is shown separately, divided by vertical separators

This helps you assess liquidity before entering a position — higher OI and Volume generally mean lower slippage.

Funding Chart

The interactive chart is the centerpiece of the analysis. See Funding Chart for full details on navigation, zoom, period presets, and exchange toggles.

Rate Table

Below the chart you will find a table listing every exchange where the ticker is available:

ColumnDescription
ExchangeExchange name
Funding %Current funding rate for the analysis period
RoleLong (negative rate, you receive funding), Short (positive rate, you receive funding), or
  • Exchanges are sorted by funding rate (ascending — best longs at the top)
  • Color-coded: green for positive rates (Short), red for negative rates (Long)

The table makes it easy to evaluate which exchange pairs produce the best spread and to choose the optimal combination for your trade.

Entry Cost & PnL Estimation

The Analysis section below the chart provides tools for evaluating trade profitability:

  • Entry Cost — shows spread, fees, and total cost of entering the position on each exchange
  • PnL Estimation — projects cumulative profit over the selected period based on historical funding rates

Entry Cost & PnL Analysis

PnL Estimation Chart

You can select different exchange pairs for analysis using the LONG and SHORT dropdowns, and toggle between 1-leg and 2-leg entry cost calculations. The amount presets ($1K, $5K, $10K) let you quickly estimate PnL at different position sizes.

Adding to Portfolio

Click the + Portfolio button to add the ticker to your portfolio. The form pre-fills:

  • Long exchange — the exchange with the lowest (most negative) funding rate
  • Short exchange — the exchange with the highest (most positive) funding rate
  • Token price — automatically fetched from exchange APIs or CoinGecko
