How this strategy is usually reviewed

Spot leg versus futures leg

The setup begins with measuring the gap between a spot market and a related futures contract.

Liquidity and fees

A spread can look attractive until depth, fees, and transfer timing are considered across both legs.

Execution timing

A scanner helps traders review the spread before stale screenshots or manual checks make it irrelevant.

What traders usually validate first

Funding and carry costs

The headline spread matters less if funding or carry assumptions remove the edge.

Venue reliability

Both exchanges need enough liquidity and stable execution for the setup to stay actionable.

Focused filters

Exchange, pair, and spread filters keep the workflow centered on executable opportunities.
