Advanced Strategy Warning
This strategy requires managing margin on two different exchanges and is operationally complex. Recommended for portfolios greater than $10,000 with significant trading experience.
The Concept: Beyond Single Exchange
Standard Cash & Carry
BasicDone on one exchange - buy spot, short futures on same platform
Cross-Exchange Arbitrage
AdvancedExploits rate differences between different exchanges
Cross-Exchange Example
Scenario: Rate Differential Opportunity
You notice SOL has different funding rates across exchanges:
Binance
Long SOL-Perp
Pay 0.01% every 8 hours
Gate.io
Short SOL-Perp
Earn 0.15% every 8 hours
Net Profit:
0.15% (earn) - 0.01% (pay) = 0.14% every 8 hours
~153% APR (compounded) after fees
The Risks (Why You Need Curensi Pro)
Liquidation Risk × 2
You have two liquidation prices to watch. If SOL moons, your Gate.io short gets liquidated. If SOL dumps, your Binance long gets liquidated.
Solution: Curensi Alerts warn you if price approaches your liquidation zone.
Rebalancing Complexity
You may need to move USDT from Binance to Gate.io to top up margin as prices move.
Solution: Curensi Dashboard monitors both funding rates in real-time so you know when to exit.
