Why a crypto price gap may not be an executable opportunity
A cross-exchange gap is a starting point for analysis. Fees, depth and transfer conditions determine what can actually be done.
Use different sides of the order book
A buy uses the ask and a sale uses the bid. Comparing two last prices does not describe an executable route. Quotes can change before either leg is filled.
Separate transfer routes from prefunded trading
Buying and transferring takes time. Holding balances on both exchanges reduces the immediate need for a transfer but introduces capital allocation and rebalancing costs. Neither model guarantees profit.
Unknown transfer status is not open
The absence of a closed flag does not prove that a transfer is available. Check withdrawal and deposit status, the exact network and any destination tag at both exchanges.
