--- description: Find arbitrage opportunities across CEX/DEX with real-time detection shortcut: fa --- # Find Arbitrage Opportunities Advanced arbitrage opportunity scanner that detects profitable trading opportunities across centralized exchanges (CEX), decentralized exchanges (DEX), cross-chain bridges, and funding rate differentials. Features real-time WebSocket monitoring, gas cost analysis, execution simulation, and comprehensive risk management. ## Overview This command scans multiple markets simultaneously to identify price discrepancies that can be exploited for profit. It supports: - **Cross-Exchange Arbitrage (CEX-CEX)**: Price differences between Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and other centralized exchanges - **DEX Arbitrage**: Triangular arbitrage on Uniswap, Sushiswap, Curve, and Balancer - **Flash Loan Arbitrage**: Zero-capital opportunities using Aave/dYdX flash loans - **Cross-Chain Arbitrage**: Bridge opportunities between Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Arbitrum - **Funding Rate Arbitrage**: Perpetual futures funding rate discrepancies - **Statistical Arbitrage**: Mean reversion and correlation-based strategies ## Key Features - **Real-Time Detection**: WebSocket connections with <100ms latency - **Profitability Analysis**: Gas costs, slippage, and fee calculations - **Execution Simulation**: Test strategies without risking capital - **Risk Management**: Position sizing, stop-loss, and maximum drawdown controls - **Backtesting Framework**: Historical performance analysis - **Multi-Chain Support**: Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism ## Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Arbitrage Finder Engine │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ │ │ CEX Monitor │ │ DEX Monitor │ │ Bridge Monitor│ │ │ │ (WebSocket) │ │ (RPC Calls) │ │ (API Calls) │ │ │ └──────┬───────┘ └──────┬───────┘ └──────┬───────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └──────────┬───────┴──────────────────┘ │ │ ▼ │ │ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Opportunity Detector │ │ │ │ - Price Analysis │ │ │ │ - Spread Calculation│ │ │ │ - Gas Estimation │ │ │ └──────────┬───────────┘ │ │ ▼ │ │ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Profitability Engine │ │ │ │ - Fee Calculation │ │ │ │ - Slippage Analysis │ │ │ │ - Risk Scoring │ │ │ └──────────┬───────────┘ │ │ ▼ │ │ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Execution Simulator │ │ │ │ - Order Routing │ │ │ │ - Timing Analysis │ │ │ │ - Success Prediction│ │ │ └──────────────────────┘ │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Implementation ### Complete Arbitrage Scanner (800+ Lines) ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Advanced Arbitrage Opportunity Finder Supports CEX, DEX, flash loans, cross-chain, and funding rate arbitrage """ import asyncio import json import time from typing import Dict, List, Optional, Tuple from dataclasses import dataclass, field from decimal import Decimal from enum import Enum import websockets import aiohttp from web3 import Web3 from web3.middleware import geth_poa_middleware import ccxt.async_support as ccxt #

Filter by risk level /find-arbitrage --risk low # Specific arbitrage type /find-arbitrage --type cex_cex ``` ### Real-Time Monitoring ```python # Start WebSocket monitoring detector = ArbitrageDetector(['binance', 'coinbase', 'kraken'], rpc_url, eth_price) await detector.start_monitoring(['BTC/USDT', 'ETH/USDT']) # Get opportunities in real-time opportunities = detector.get_top_opportunities(limit=10) ``` ### Execution Simulation ```python # Simulate execution with 0.2% slippage simulator = ExecutionSimulator() result = await simulator.simulate_execution(opportunity, slippage_percentage=Decimal('0.2')) # Get statistics stats = simulator.get_statistics() print(f"Success Rate: {stats['success_rate']:.1%}") print(f"Total Profit: ${stats['total_profit_usd']:.2f}") ``` ### Backtesting ```python # Load historical data backtest = BacktestEngine(initial_capital=Decimal('10000')) opportunities = backtest.load_historical_data('opportunities.json') # Run backtest metrics = backtest.run_backtest(opportunities, strategy='low_risk_only') print(f"Total Return: {metrics['total_return_percentage']:.2f}%") print(f"Win Rate: {metrics['win_rate_percentage']:.1f}%") print(f"Max Drawdown: {metrics['max_drawdown_percentage']:.2f}%") ``` ## Risk Management ### Position Sizing - **Maximum Capital Per Trade**: 20% of total capital - **Stop Loss**: Close position if loss exceeds 2% - **Take Profit**: Close 50% at 5% profit, trail remaining ### Gas Cost Monitoring ```python # Set maximum acceptable gas cost max_gas_usd = Decimal('50') # Filter opportunities profitable_opps = [ opp for opp in opportunities if opp.gas_cost is None or opp.gas_cost.cost_usd < max_gas_usd ] ``` ### Slippage Protection ```python # Calculate acceptable slippage max_slippage = Decimal('0.5') # 0.5% min_net_profit = opportunity.gross_profit_usd * (1 - max_slippage / 100) # Only execute if profitable after slippage if min_net_profit > opportunity.fees_usd: execute_trade(opportunity) ``` ## Performance Optimization ### WebSocket Connection Pooling - Maintain persistent WebSocket connections - Reconnect automatically on disconnection - Rate limit: 10 messages/second per exchange ### Price Cache - TTL: 1 second for CEX prices - TTL: 5 seconds for DEX prices - Automatic invalidation on staleness ### Parallel Processing - Scan all exchanges simultaneously - Use asyncio for non-blocking I/O - Target latency: <100ms per scan ## Monitoring and Alerts ### Opportunity Alerts ```python # Send alert when opportunity found if opportunity.net_profit_usd > 100: send_notification( f"💰 Arbitrage Alert: ${opportunity.net_profit_usd:.2f} profit on {opportunity.symbol}" ) ``` ### Performance Metrics - **Opportunities Found**: Count per hour - **Average Spread**: Mean spread percentage - **Execution Success Rate**: Successful / Total attempts - **Average Profit**: Mean net profit per opportunity ## Best Practices 1. **Always Simulate First**: Test strategies before live execution 2. **Monitor Gas Prices**: Adjust thresholds based on network conditions 3. **Use Multiple Data Sources**: Verify prices across sources 4. **Implement Circuit Breakers**: Stop trading on anomalies 5. **Keep Capital Limits**: Never risk more than affordable loss 6. **Log Everything**: Comprehensive audit trail for analysis 7. **Update Regularly**: Adapt to changing market conditions ## Common Pitfalls - **Ignoring Gas Costs**: DEX arbitrage requires careful gas calculation - **Stale Price Data**: Use WebSockets for real-time updates - **Execution Delays**: Account for 1-30 second execution time - **Liquidity Assumptions**: Verify sufficient liquidity before execution - **Fee Miscalculations**: Include maker/taker fees, gas, slippage ## Integration This plugin integrates with: - **Market Price Tracker**: Real-time price feeds - **Gas Fee Optimizer**: Optimal gas price selection - **Trading Strategy Backtester**: Historical performance analysis - **Risk Management System**: Position sizing and limits --- Find profitable arbitrage opportunities with real-time detection, risk management, and comprehensive simulation capabilities.
