Using filters to find the right opportunities

The dashboard ranks every live opportunity by net profit, but not every opportunity is tradeable for you. Filters trim the list down to the coins, exchanges and networks you can actually act on — so you spend your time on trades you can complete.

Why filter at all?

ArbiHunt scans about 23 exchanges and refreshes roughly every 30 seconds, so the feed is large and always moving. A high-ranking opportunity is useless to you if it routes through an exchange where you have no account, or over a network one side doesn't support.

Filters let you hide everything you can't trade and focus on what's left. They apply live: set them once and the table keeps re-applying them as prices refresh — no "apply" button to press.

You'll find the filters behind the Filters button in the dashboard toolbar. A small badge shows how many filters are active, a Show results button reflects the current match count, and Reset clears them all at once.

The four filters

Open the panel and you get four controls:

• Minimum spread (%) — hides any row whose net profit percentage is below the value you set. Use this to skip marginal opportunities and focus on bigger gaps.
• Minimum liquidity ($) — hides rows with less order-book depth than you need. This is how you make sure an opportunity can absorb your trade size.
• Exchanges — a toggle chip for every exchange in the current feed, sorted alphabetically. Turning a chip off excludes any opportunity that uses that exchange on either leg.
• Networks — a toggle chip for every withdrawal network in the feed. Turning one off excludes opportunities that would transfer over that chain.

Filter to the exchanges you actually hold

This is usually the biggest time-saver. An arbitrage trade means buying on one exchange and selling on another, so you need a funded account on both venues in the route. If you only hold accounts on, say, four exchanges, switch off every other chip. The feed instantly drops to routes you can complete today.

Filter to low-fee, supported networks

The withdrawal network matters twice. First, a costly chain can eat the whole spread — the network fee is part of net profit. Second, the network has to be supported on both the sending and receiving exchange, or the transfer can fail and funds can be lost.

Use the network toggles to keep only the chains you trust and that tend to be cheap and well-supported. To understand how withdrawal and network fees shape your net profit, read Withdrawal fees and networks explained.

Two example setups

Setup 1: a careful beginner with a few accounts

You hold accounts on a handful of exchanges and want safer, clearly worthwhile trades:

This hides thin, marginal rows and anything you can't route, leaving a short list you can work through with confidence.

Setup 2: a larger trade size

You're moving more capital, so depth matters more than the headline percentage:

A higher liquidity floor keeps only opportunities deep enough to fill your order without heavy slippage. Remember that liquidity shown is a snapshot — depth moves with the market.

Search and sort work alongside filters

The toolbar also has a free-text search box (matches a token, the buy exchange or the sell exchange) and a sort control (Spread, Profit, Liquidity or Latest; Spread is the default). These stack with your filters, so you can filter to your venues, then sort by liquidity to find the deepest of them.

What's different on PRO

On a free account, filters apply to the opportunities you can already use — the rows under the 2% net-profit threshold. The biggest spreads (2% and above, plus any with an unknown spread) sit locked in the PRO vault and aren't part of the filtered set.

PRO lists advanced filters (spread, liquidity, exchange and network) as part of the upgrade, applied across every opportunity at 2% and above as well — so your filtered, sorted view spans the full feed, not just the sub-2% slice. For the full breakdown, see Free vs PRO: what you get.

Filters help you find candidates faster, but they don't make a trade safe. ArbiHunt is an information tool — it finds and ranks opportunities; it does not place trades or move your funds. Always confirm the contract, the networks and the live spread before you act. None of this is financial advice, and arbitrage carries risk — opportunities are time-sensitive and may not always be executable.
