STRATEGY / TRIANGULAR ARBITRAGE

TRIANGULAR ARBITRAGE

Use this guide to review the triangular arbitrage bot setup inside Gimmer. This route focuses on same-exchange 3-coin combinations, so you can check the exchange, API key selection, reference price, quote balances, and minimum profit threshold before you start the strategy.

1. Before you configure the strategy

Make sure the exchange account you want to use is already connected in Gimmer and that the quote currencies you plan to use have enough balance for the combinations you want to review.

• Need the broader setup path first? Open Quickstart.
• Need to connect an exchange first? Review Add Exchange.
• Prefer a guided walkthrough? Open Tutorials.
• This page covers API key selection inside Gimmer. It does not cover API key creation or exchange-specific permission requirements.
• If the labels in the app do not match this page, use Support.

2. Review these configuration fields

• Exchange
  Select the exchange where you want to run the triangular arbitrage strategy.
• Choose API Key
  Select one of the API keys already registered for the exchange you chose.
• Reference Price
  Choose the quote that Gimmer should use as the reference price across the route.
• Minimal Profit
  Set the minimum threshold Gimmer should use when checking route spreads before you start the strategy.

You also choose the reference quotes for the arbitrage route and the base assets you want to compare inside the same exchange.

3. Check balances and route inputs

• Keep balance in the quote currencies you selected, such as BTC, ETH, or USDT, before you try to start the strategy.
• Review the quote, base, and API key selections you entered before you continue.
• If you want a simpler review path, start with one base asset at a time and confirm the route behaves the way you expect.

4. Review the price comparison before you start

The values below are illustrative only. Gimmer compares each selected pair against one reference price so you can review the route before you choose START. For example:

• ADA/BTC = 0.00001128 => 0.04217 USDT Buy
• ADA/ETH = 0.00028275 => 0.04226 USDT
• ADA/USDT = 0.04232 => 0.04232 USDT Sell

This example shows the route comparison format only. It does not promise trade availability, execution, or profit.

After you save the settings, open RUNNING & ACTIVITY and review the strategy state before you decide whether to proceed.
