OTC: net spread between exchanges
Where to buy and where to sell: the net spread after taker fees at the best book prices, for every pair of exchanges with a liquid spot market. A cell in profit with an open transfer leads to the route page.
| Buy ↓ / sell → | LBank | MEXC |
|---|---|---|
| LBank | — | −3.93% |
| MEXC | +1.21% (avoid) | — |
- +0.00% ⊘ — transfer closed: withdrawal or deposit closed, no common network or different tokens under the ticker, do not count on that profit
- +0.00% ✕ — the engine flags the pair as suspect (price outlier, dead book), do not count on that profit
- +0.00% ! — verdict avoid
- +0.00% ? — the exchanges publish no network status, whether the coins can arrive is unknown
- −0.00% — not in profit after fees
