Arbitrex vs Arbion
Arbion and Arbitrex are in the same category: both watch several exchanges at once and surface price divergences for delta-neutral trading. If you are comparing them, you are past the question of whether a scanner is worth using and into how each one draws its coverage and how far it follows you into the trade.
Coverage: every listed market, not a curated list
Arbitrex indexes whatever each connected venue exposes — there is no coin whitelist. When both legs of a route list the same base asset, the pair is in the table the same day it lists. Scanners built around a fixed top-N list keep the interface tidy and systematically miss new listings, which is where the widest and longest-lived gaps sit.
Three spread types in one table
Futures-futures, spot-futures basis and funding-rate divergence are scanned together and compared on the same screen. In practice the same coin is often tradable in more than one of those forms at once, and picking between them is easier when they are rows in one table rather than three separate products.
Latency is a tier, not a marketing line
The free tier refreshes at roughly 100 ms, which is enough for research and for wide gaps. Pro streams over WebSocket at about 10 ms, which is what narrow edges and automated entries need. The distinction is explicit so you can decide which one your strategy actually requires.
The scanner can open the position
Arbitrex ships a trading terminal and spread triggers: a route can be armed at a threshold and both legs opened and closed without you sitting in front of the table. A scanner that stops at the signal leaves the hardest part — getting two fills at once — to you.
Questions fréquentes
Is Arbitrex a direct Arbion alternative?
Yes — both are cross-exchange arbitrage scanners rather than general trading bots. The comparison comes down to coverage breadth, whether funding and spot-futures are in the same view as futures-futures, and whether the tool executes.
Can I try Arbitrex before paying?
The scanner is usable on a free account: all routes, all listed markets, at roughly 100 ms refresh. The Pro tier adds the ~10 ms WebSocket stream and the automation, which is what narrow spreads need.
Do I need to move my funds to use Arbitrex?
No. Funds stay on your own exchange accounts. Watching spreads needs no keys at all; API keys are only required if you want triggers to open and close positions for you.
