Spot screener tutorials

Screener Spot (Arbitrage Screener) is a tool for continuous monitoring of price differences for the same cryptocurrencies on centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges in real time. The screener automatically scans 80+ CEX and 200+ DEX every 4 seconds, identifying profitable spot+spot arbitrage opportunities. After setup, the screener provides ready setups: which exchange to buy on, where to transfer and sell, whether deposits and withdrawals are open, and expected profit percentage after all fees.

Tutorials detail critical settings for optimizing the screener. Set minimum spread considering fees — if total costs are 0.3%, set filter from 1-1.5% for comfortable profit. Choose exchanges where you have verified accounts with sufficient withdrawal limits. Specify preferred blockchains for DEX arbitrage with low gas fees (e.g., BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum). Save multiple presets for different market conditions.

Tutorials emphasize the importance of accurate cost calculation. Account for all fee levels: trading fee on purchase exchange (usually 0.05-0.1% for makers), withdrawal fee from first exchange (fixed in tokens), gas fees for DEX or deposit fee on second exchange, trading fee on selling exchange, slippage during order execution (usually 0.1-0.3% in volatile markets). The screener shows estimated profit, but always verify current exchange fees before execution.

Tutorials recommend starting with test trades of $200-$500 to practice the process without significant risk. With $5000-$10000 capital you can diversify across several bundles simultaneously. Important: 2% spread on $500 gives $10 profit, on $5000 — $100, on $20000 — $400. Start with smaller amounts, increase as confidence grows.

Always check deposit/withdrawal status in the screener before entry. Diversify between multiple exchanges. Follow exchange Telegram channels and Twitter accounts for maintenance notifications. Have a Plan B — if stuck with a token, can you sell on the same exchange with minimal loss. Avoid arbitrage of low-liquidity tokens where blocks occur more frequently.

DEX bundles often have higher spreads (3-10%) due to less competition. Gas fee evaluation is critical — on Ethereum during congestion, gas can consume all profit; use alternative networks (BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base) with $0.1-$2 fees. Check pool liquidity before swap — large trade in small pool creates 5-10% slippage. Monitor rate changes during transaction confirmation — set slippage tolerance 1-3%.

Create a private Telegram channel for screener alerts. In ArbitrageScanner settings, specify your channel ID and configure notification parameters: minimum spread for alert (recommended 1.5-2%), specific tokens to track or all pairs from your whitelist, preferred exchanges. Set up notification templates for quick understanding: token, exchanges, spread, volume, quick access links. Create multiple channels for different strategies.
