Spread Alerts
Cross-exchange spread detection in real time
The Spread service monitors price differences for the same asset across multiple exchanges simultaneously. When a token trades at $100 on Exchange A and $105 on Exchange B, that 5% gap is a spread, and CryptoGrind detects it the instant it appears.
Как это работает
How Spread Alerts Works
CryptoGrind connects to the orderbook feeds of seven centralized exchanges and multiple DEX chains via persistent WebSocket connections. Every price update is cross-referenced against every other venue monitoring the same pair. When the spread between any two venues exceeds your configured threshold, an alert fires in under 5 milliseconds. No polling. No delay. The alert includes the buy venue, sell venue, current prices, spread percentage, and the direction (buy/sell) for the trade.
Technical Detail
Spread detection runs on a streaming architecture. Each price update triggers a pairwise comparison across all venues where the token is listed. For a token listed on 5 exchanges, that's 10 unique pair comparisons per price tick. CryptoGrind handles this at scale across 500+ trading pairs without introducing latency. Alerts are deduplicated, so you won't get the same spread alert twice unless the spread widens further or resets.
Features
What's Included
7 Spread Types
Spot/Spot, Spot/Futures, Futures/Futures, DEX/Futures, Spot/DEX, DEX/DEX, and Internal/Futures. Each type captures a different market structure.
Directional Alerts
Every alert tells you exactly where to buy and where to sell. No ambiguity, no mental math.
Per-Exchange Volume Filters
Filter out low-volume pairs to avoid spreads that look good on paper but can't be executed at size.
DEX Liquidity Filters
Set minimum pool liquidity thresholds to ensure DEX-side spreads are actually executable.
Use Cases
How Traders Use This
Basis Trading
Buy spot on one exchange, sell futures on another. Collect the basis spread while remaining market-neutral. Typical on BTC and ETH when funding rates diverge.
CEX-DEX Arbitrage
DEX pool prices lag during volatile moves. Buy on Uniswap, sell on Binance futures, or the reverse. CryptoGrind detects these gaps across four chains.
Cross-Exchange Spot Arbitrage
The same token at different prices on two spot exchanges. Transfer, sell, profit. Simple in theory, but timing is everything, and CryptoGrind gives you the timing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Spread Alerts.
For major pairs (BTC, ETH), basis spreads of 0.3-1% between spot and futures are common during volatile periods. For altcoins, cross-exchange spot spreads of 5-15% appear daily. The default threshold is 5%, which filters noise while catching actionable opportunities.
No. CryptoGrind is an alert-only platform. We detect the spread and notify you in under 5ms. Execution is entirely up to you. This means we never need your API keys and never touch your funds.
Spreads are time-sensitive. The sub-5ms alert delivery gives you a head start, but you should have your exchange accounts funded and ready. Most basis spreads persist for seconds to minutes. Cross-exchange spot spreads on altcoins can last longer.
