The Futures scanner covers two related plays on perpetual contracts: cross-exchange futures spreads (the same perp priced differently on two exchanges) and basis (the gap between a coin's spot and its own futures on the same exchange). Both are NET β already minus fees.
β οΈ Educational, not financial advice. Futures use leverage β watch liquidation margin.
The same perpetual (say BTC/USDT) can trade at slightly different prices on two exchanges. You buy the cheaper perpand sell the dearer one, capturing the gap. Columns:
Use the exchange filter to keep only the pairs of venues you actually trade on.
Basis is the difference between a coin's spot price and its futures price on the same exchange. When futures trade above spot, you can buy spot + short the future and lock the gap as it converges β a delta-neutral "cash-and-carry" trade. Columns show the spot price, the futures price and the spread between them.
