How ArbiSight Calculates Funding Fee Profit Across Exchange Pairs

If you have ever stared at two exchanges and asked, “Okay, but what do I actually earn?” you have already felt the gap between a funding rate print and a tradable answer.

ArbiSight’s funding fee calculator style views exist to shrink that gap—not by promising certainty, but by making the carry arithmetic legible.

What the Tool Is Really Estimating

At a high level, ArbiSight lines up funding inputs from two venues for the same (or mapped) perpetual contract, then estimates interval carry for a hedge-style configuration you select (for example long on Exchange A / short on Exchange B).

The headline idea is funding rate arbitrage and CEX arbitrage: get paid (or pay) funding while keeping exposure closer to neutral than a directional punt.

Why "Interval" Matters More Than a Single Print

Funding is paid on a cadence (often 8h or 4h, depending on contract rules). A spike in one candle does not automatically mean a week of income.

That is why calculators that only multiply “current funding × notional” can mislead. A serious workflow combines:

• the published funding % per interval
• the exchange’s settlement schedule
• your assumed position value

Then you still adjust for fees, slippage, and basis drift outside any tidy spreadsheet.

How to Read “Profit” Without Overfitting

When ArbiSight shows implied crypto arbitrage earnings from funding, treat it as gross carry before trading costs unless a screen explicitly says otherwise.

If you want forward-looking planning, pair estimates with Funding Cycle Timing Strategy discipline: timing entries around funding boundaries can matter as much as the average rate.

Cross-Checking With Live Market Reality

No calculator replaces depth.

Use Orderbook Snapshot when your size is non-trivial, and Live Crypto Arbitrage when you want the ecosystem view rather than one cherry-picked pair.

For portfolio math across multiple hedges, Portfolio Management helps keep notionals aligned so your “modeled carry” matches what you actually hold.

Where Alerts Fit

Carry changes character fast. Alerts help when projected funding weakens or margin pressure rises—especially if you run multiple arbitrage perpetuals.

Closing Thought

A good arbitrage screener stack does not remove judgment. It removes avoidable arithmetic errors so your judgment can focus on risk.
