The base rates of USDT pairs the engine counts with: no VIP level or exchange-token discount. An arbitrage trade takes liquidity and pays the taker fee on both legs. You can set your own rates in the scanner and the routes are recomputed at them. Work out the profit after fees
Kraken withdrawal fees
Kraken does not publish withdrawal fees and status by network: check them on the exchange before a transfer.
