CT arbitrage strategy

No CT route worth taking with an open transfer right now. Gaps of a minute or longer open several times a week, though — here is how to catch the next one:

  1. Watch Gate → HTX: the spread opened there 158 times in 7 days, 85 of them for a minute or longer; it usually lasts 1 min 18 s.
  2. The transfer is ready: CT moves from Gate to HTX on ETH. Keep USDT on Gate and CT on HTX so you do not wait for it.
  3. Set an alert on the route: you hear when the spread pays after fees. Then buy on Gate and sell on HTX.

FAQ

Why is the CT spread so high on some exchanges?

No route is worth a look right now; the engine's commonest warnings: profit under $1; under $20 at the best price. We have no network status from WEEX, Kraken and BingX +1, so a transfer there cannot be checked.

Where is CT cheapest to buy?

Cheapest now on WEEX: $0.153256; dearest on HTX: $0.16015, 4.50% apart. 13 exchanges with a liquid CT market compared, at the mid between bid and ask.

Can I transfer CT between Coinbase Exchange and HTX?

Unknown: one of the exchanges does not publish CT withdrawal and deposit status by network. Check on Coinbase Exchange and HTX before a transfer.

Is there an arbitrage opportunity in CT right now?

On spot, yes, but none worth taking: 1 spot route earns after fees, and the engine marks each "avoid": profit under $1; under $20 at the best price.

What is the CT spread now?

4.50% between the cheapest (WEEX) and the dearest (HTX) exchange, before fees. No route worth taking with an open transfer right now.
