The Spot Spreads scanner finds the same coin trading cheaper on one exchange and more expensive on another, right now, across 11 markets. The classic arbitrage: buy low on exchange A, move the coin, sell high on exchange B.
β οΈ Educational, not financial advice. A spread only counts if you can actually move the coin and it survives fees.
π― The one thing that matters: NET, not gross
A big gross spread means nothing until you subtract costs. We do that for you:
- Spread β the raw gap between buy and sell price.
- Net β the spread after trading fees on both legs. This is the real number.
- Net profit β estimated profit on a standard position size.
- Fee β the total fee cost baked into the Net figure.
If Net is red, the fees ate the spread β skip it, no matter how fat the gross number looks.
π Withdrawal networks β the hidden trap
To close a spread you must move the coin from A to B. The Networks column shows the available withdrawal chains and their fee. If there is no working network, the spread is a mirage β you can buy cheap but can't deliver to sell. Always confirm the network (and its fee) before entering.
π Columns explained
- Symbol β the trading pair (e.g. EGLD/USDT).
- Buy @ / Sell @ β where to buy (cheaper) and sell (dearer), with prices.
- Spread / Net / Net profit / Fee β gross gap, after-fee gap, profit estimate, fee cost.
- Age β how long this spread has been alive. Fresh + persistent = more reliable; a flicker may be a stale orderbook.
- Networks β withdrawal chains available to move the coin between the two exchanges.

How to use it
- Sort by Net, not Spread. Ignore anything where Net is negative.
- Check the Networks column β no route means no trade.
- Prefer spreads that have been alive a while (Age) on two liquid exchanges.
- Account for transfer time β the price can move while the coin is in transit.
