Operating a Cross-Exchange Crypto Spot Arbitrage Strategy

Article FMZ live strategies

Summary

This live-robot dashboard records a crypto spot arbitrage system trading BTC/USDT across Gate and KuCoin, alongside a wider set of monitored assets. Its logs show paired buys and sells on the two venues, with the direction varying by trade. The displayed process includes opportunity-driven borrowing to cover sale-side inventory gaps, periodic reconciliation of borrowed balances, and repayment of assets when possible. It also reports exchange status, order execution counts, estimated fees, position values, and profit summaries.

The snapshot offers operational detail on how the strategy coordinates venues and manages financing, rather than a general strategy specification. Logged fills show small targeted spreads and low reported slippage, while the performance panel reports returns over a short operating period. Those figures are specific to this robot instance and do not establish durable profitability. The page does not explain how opportunities are detected, how executions are coordinated under partial fills, or how results account for all risks; borrowing limits and trading costs are visible practical constraints.

Key ideas

  • The robot seeks arbitrage by placing opposing spot trades across Gate and KuCoin.
  • Its logs show that trade direction can differ between venues and opportunities.
  • Opportunity-driven borrowing supplies inventory when an exchange account lacks assets to sell.
  • Periodic account reconciliation and repayment are part of the financing workflow.
  • The dashboard's short-run performance and fill records describe one deployment, not a general profitability guarantee.
