ArbsCalc is a tool that helps traders identify and evaluate arbitrage opportunities across markets and exchanges. It combines price aggregation, fee and slippage modeling, position sizing, and profit/risk calculations into a single interface so traders can act quickly and confidently.
Key capabilities
- Real-time price aggregation from multiple exchanges and markets.
- Fee modeling that includes maker/taker fees, deposit/withdrawal fees, and any transfer costs.
- Slippage and order-book impact estimates based on available liquidity.
- Net-profit calculation after fees, slippage, and transfer time.
- Position sizing suggestions to optimize capital use and risk limits.
- Profit alerts and configurable thresholds for automated monitoring.
- Historical opportunity logging and basic analytics to evaluate strategy performance.
Typical workflow
- Select markets/exchanges and assets to compare.
- Pull live price and depth data for each venue.
- Enter available balances, transfer routes, and fee structures.
- Adjust slippage and execution assumptions.
- Review net profit, required capital, and estimated execution time.

Benefits
- Speed: Consolidates data so traders can spot margins faster.
- Accuracy: Accounts for realistic costs (fees, slippage, transfers) to avoid false positives.
- Capital efficiency: Suggests optimal trade sizes to maximize return on deployed capital.

Limitations and cautions
- Relies on the timeliness and accuracy of external exchange data; rapidly changing markets can invalidate opportunities.
