A written reference on cross exchange arbitrage — how it works, how to configure it, and where it breaks under load.
How It Works
The internal mechanics of cross exchange arbitrage tie together data ingestion, signal computation, and order handling into one pipeline.
Configuration
A cross exchange arbitrage setup accepts several knobs worth documenting. Start from defaults, then adjust against measured behaviour.
Failure Modes
The failure record for cross exchange arbitrage includes regime changes, missed heartbeats, and positions that could not be closed gracefully.
Evaluation
An honest evaluation of cross exchange arbitrage weighs quantitative metrics alongside code quality and how much attention it demands in production.

Parameter Impact
| Parameter | Effect | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| timeframe | Signal frequency | Higher means fewer but more reliable signals |
| risk_limit | Maximum exposure | Lower means safer but slower returns |
| lookback | Indicator sensitivity | Longer means smoother but lagging |
