Documentation

How ArbiTrade works — and how to get the most out of it.

What ArbiTrade does

ArbiTrade is a live intelligence platform for physical commodity arbitrage. We surface cross-border trading opportunities — copper scrap, aluminium scrap, battery black mass, steel, refined products — that are net-profitable after accounting for freight, tariffs, FX conversion, and inspection. The platform is designed for traders, brokers, recyclers, exporters, importers, and trade finance shops who need pre-validated signals and verified counterparty access.

ArbiTrade does not execute trades, hold funds, or act as a counterparty. We are intelligence and coordination only — you remain in control of every deal.

How signals work

Every ArbiTrade signal is produced by state-of-the-art AI that continuously monitors global commodity markets, identifies cross-border price dislocations, and prices each corridor net of the full landed-cost stack — freight, tariffs, inspection, and FX — before it ever reaches your dashboard.

Each opportunity is assigned a confidence score based on data freshness, corridor stability, and counterparty availability. Only corridors that clear the full cost model and pass automated verification are shown as actionable. Signals degrade automatically as prices age — you will never be shown stale spreads without a clear freshness indicator.

RFQ builder

Click any signal to open the RFQ builder. It pre-fills commodity, volume, route, Incoterms, and payment terms, and drafts a structured request you can review before sending. Recipients are pulled from the verified counterparty network — brokers, suppliers, buyers, and finance partners relevant to that corridor. You control who receives the RFQ.

All dispatch activity is logged. You can track responses, advance signals to deal stage, and record closes — ArbiTrade remains coordination-only throughout.

Counterparty network

Every broker, supplier, buyer, and finance partner in the ArbiTrade network is individually verified and screened against published sanctions lists before they are added. Sanctions screening runs on an ongoing basis — any match triggers manual review. Counterparty visibility is tiered: Verified and above see all active participants with full detail; lower tiers see a curated subset.

Pricing accuracy

Spreads on the ArbiTrade dashboard reflect a full landed-cost model applied to current benchmark prices. Physical commodity arbitrage clears over days, not seconds — the platform is designed for that workflow. All counterparties are responsible for independently verifying pricing before transacting. ArbiTrade does not guarantee that any displayed spread is executable at the stated level.
