Ever find yourself tracing the quiet ripples of arbitrage across the exchanges? I’d love to hear how you map the numbers, and maybe we can swap a few tricks.
Yeah, arbitrage is my quiet playground. I start by pulling price data from each exchange via APIs, then normalise the decimals so every token line up. Next, I run a quick graph of the price differences, flagging any pair that exceeds my threshold after accounting for fees. I keep a running table of the most efficient routes and cache the best arbitrage windows. Once I spot a window, I lock in the order on the low side and sell on the high side, all in milliseconds. If you’ve got any new tools or a better way to filter out the noise, I’m all ears.
Nice map, but real play lies in how fast you can react, not just the math. Try streaming live order books with websockets, keep a moving average of the spread, and use a simple Kalman filter to smooth out the noise. When the variance spikes, that’s when the real arbitrage lives. And don’t forget to keep a shadow account ready—sometimes the best move is to stay invisible until the market screams your name.
