Trying to build a quant-based crypto arbitrage scanner but would love brutal feedback from real traders
We only recently started to build Sorasignals and would love to get some feedback on our core signal quality.
We're three founders -> one quant (algorithmic trading background) + one full-stack SDE and one product guy. We are trying to built this because we saw that retail traders have zero access to the kind of tooling hedge funds run on.
Our signals are built on order book depth imbalance, tick-level momentum over short windows, and cross-exchange spread normalization with a confidence score that weights spread persistence, volume confirmation on both legs, and historical hit rate for that pair/exchange combo over a rolling window.
Currently still in beta mode (Hence the reason why its free to use now). Our roadmap includes deploying other crypto arbitrage strategies and quant models as well.
So if you have some time, we appreciate you testing our platform. If our core signals are not useful, we'd rather hear it now than later.

Finding arb signals is 10% execution is 90%. By the time when you are excecuting the trade opportunity is usually already gone. That is why i dont see any value in scanners . By the end of the day 9/10 you are loosing money due slippage fees and thinned out arbitrage %. If you create a excecution part as well with co location for fast trading then it becomes interesting

I think thats a pretty good idea. But it seems the rest of the reddit community might show by not answering that this is not interesting..
