What's Smart arbitrage bot?

A Smart arbitrage strategy is a crafted strategy to protect against market price fluctuations. The cornerstone of this approach is the Delta-neutral strategy, which involves holding equal and opposite positions in both the spot market and the perpetual swap market. This balanced approach ensures that price movements in either direction are neutralized.

In practice, this strategy entails purchasing a crypto in the spot market (going long) while simultaneously selling the equivalent amount in the perpetual swap market (going short). This dual positioning can effectively cancel out potential gains or losses from price swings, thereby significantly mitigating risk. The primary profit is derived from collecting funding fees during the holding period, particularly when the funding rate is positive.

With the enhancement to its functionality, accessibility, and overall user experience, the bot will continue to automate profit generation through funding fee differentials, while the updated version will be designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. This makes it a great tool for traders of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals.

Why should I use Smart arbitrage bot?

  • Delta-neutral strategy:

    • Reduces risks associated with market fluctuations.

    • Minimizes the impact of price changes on trading positions.
