How triangular arbitrage works
Triangular arbitrage exploits temporary price imbalances between three trading pairs on the same exchange. You start with USDT, buy Coin A, exchange it for Coin B, then sell Coin B back to USDT. If the combined rates produce more USDT than you started with - that gap is the profit.
The scanner checks every possible USDT→A→B→USDT cycle across all listed pairs on each exchange, computes the theoretical yield, and flags routes where the math works after fees. Most routes are sub-0.1% - meaningful volume and fast execution are required to capture them.
Opportunities are short-lived. The scanner updates every minute; actual execution requires direct exchange API access and fast order placement.

About triangular arbitrage
Triangular arbitrage is a market-neutral strategy: you never hold a position overnight and never bet on price direction. The trade opens and closes within seconds on a single exchange. Risk comes primarily from execution speed - if the market moves between your first and third order, the cycle may close at a loss.
