How long spreads last
After every spread we find, we re-check the same route 5, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500 ms later. The share still positive shows how much time you have to trade.

Last 7 days. If the route can no longer be re-evaluated after the delay (the best level was taken or a feed went quiet), the spread counts as gone. Signals from feed failures are excluded. Only routes between exchanges whose books we stream on every change are measured (Binance, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, Bitget, Gate): the other exchanges' prices are polled every few seconds and could not change within 500 ms.
