It connects to supported exchanges over <strong>WebSocket API<\/strong> \u2014 the faster, real-time alternative to REST that most leading crypto venues now support \u2014 and is designed for traders who want a tight, focused arbitrage toolkit rather than the full forex feature set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The configuration is deliberate. SharpTrader Lite ships by default with the Latency and Lock CL2 strategies; the Lock CL2 logic is forex-broker-centric and does not translate cleanly to crypto exchange microstructure. We replaced it with the <strong>Hedge<\/strong> module, which targets the cross-exchange spreads that dominate crypto arbitrage. The result is a tool that is smaller and cheaper than <a href=\"\/product\/sharptrader-forex-crypto-arbitrage\/\">SharpTrader Pro<\/a> but purpose-built for the crypto venue layer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- ============================================================ --><br \/>\n<!-- H2 #2 \u2014 What's included --><br \/>\n<!-- ============================================================ --><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s included<\/h2>\n<div class=\"stc-feat-grid\">\n<div class=\"stc-feat-card\">\n<p class=\"stc-feat-label\">1 \u00b7 CONNECTIVITY<\/p>\n<h3>WebSocket API<\/h3>\n<p>Native WebSocket connectivity to supported crypto exchanges.

That was acceptable when crypto spreads were wide and arbitrage opportunities lasted seconds. It is no longer enough. As more exchanges have added WebSocket support, the venues using it have started clearing arbitrage windows in under 100\u00a0ms \u2014 well below any REST poller&#8217;s reaction time.<\/p>\n<p>WebSocket changes three things:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"stc-list\">\n<li><strong>Push instead of pull.<\/strong> The exchange pushes order-book updates the moment they happen. REST forces you to ask, wait for the response, and accept that the answer is already stale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistent connection.<\/strong> One TCP\/TLS connection is established once and stays open. REST opens a new request lifecycle every poll \u2014 handshake overhead repeated thousands of times per session.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower latency, lower load.<\/strong> Practical end-to-end delivery on WebSocket is typically 10\u201350\u00a0ms; equivalent REST polling adds 200\u2013500\u00a0ms even before the round-trip. Exchanges also rate-limit REST much harder than WebSocket streams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Latency arbitrage specifically, WebSocket is not an optimisation \u2014 it is a precondition. A 200\u00a0ms REST poll cannot react to a 100\u00a0ms divergence. SharpTrader Crypto is built on WebSocket from the ground up because anything less leaves the strategy chasing prices that have already moved. The same execution-time logic that breaks <a href=\"\/latency-arbitrage\/\">latency arbitrage in forex<\/a> applies in crypto, in compressed form \u2014 see also our <a href=\"\/latency-arbitrage-backtest-execution-time-gap\/\">deep-dive on why latency backtests fail in production<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- ============================================================ --><br \/>\n<!-- H2 #5 \u2014 Latency strategy on crypto --><br \/>\n<!-- ============================================================ --><\/p>\n<h2>The Latency module \u2014 how it works on crypto exchanges<\/h2>\n<p>The Latency module is the speed-based half of the bundle. It runs against two data sources: a <strong>fast reference price stream<\/strong> (a high-quality, low-latency feed) and a <strong>target exchange order book<\/strong> (where you actually place orders). When the reference moves but the target exchange has not yet updated, the module detects the gap and submits a market order at the stale exchange price.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanics in crypto are essentially the same as in forex, with a few crypto-specific notes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"stc-list\">\n<li><strong>Sub-second windows.<\/strong> Crypto arbitrage windows are typically 30\u2013200\u00a0ms on liquid pairs (BTC, ETH, large alts). WebSocket reduces detection latency to single-digit milliseconds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fee-aware filtering.<\/strong> Many crypto exchanges charge taker fees of 0.05\u20130.15%, plus maker rebates on some. The module filters signals by net edge after fees, not raw price differential.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Withdrawal and funding constraints.<\/strong> Latency in crypto is intra-exchange \u2014 you do not need to move coins between venues to capture the edge (that is Hedge&#8217;s job).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Configurable per pair.<\/strong> Threshold, order size, and concurrent-positions cap are set per trading pair, so the same engine can run conservatively on BTC and aggressively on lower-volume alts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- ============================================================ --><br \/>\n<!-- H2 #6 \u2014 Hedge strategy --><br \/>\n<!-- ============================================================ --><\/p>\n<h2>The Hedge module \u2014 cross-exchange spread capture<\/h2>\n<p>The Hedge module is the cross-venue half of the bundle. Where Latency exploits speed within one exchange, Hedge exploits price divergence between two exchanges \u2014 the classic crypto arbitrage situation where the same asset trades at different prices on different venues.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanic: when the cross-exchange spread for a pair exceeds a configured threshold (after fees), the module opens a long position on the cheaper venue and a short position on the more expensive venue \u2014 both legs over WebSocket so the two fills land as close to simultaneous as the exchanges allow. When the spread converges back to neutral (or to a smaller configured exit threshold), both legs are closed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stc-callout\">\n<h3>Leg risk applies here too<\/h3>\n<p>Both legs must fill close to simultaneously, otherwise you carry naked directional exposure in the gap. WebSocket order routing is what makes the Hedge module viable for retail \u2014 REST-based hedge strategies leave too much leg risk to capture the typical sub-percent spreads. The same leg-risk logic we describe for <a href=\"\/forex-pairs-trading-statistical-arbitrage\/\">forex pairs trading<\/a> applies in crypto, just with different fee dynamics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hold times for Hedge are seconds to minutes \u2014 long enough that fees matter, short enough that you can run dozens of cycles per session on a single pair. The module manages position state on both legs independently so partial-fill situations are handled cleanly rather than left as one-sided exposure.<\/p>\n<p><!-- ============================================================ --><br \/>\n<!-- H2 #7 \u2014 Supported exchanges + US --><br \/>\n<!-- ============================================================ --><\/p>\n<h2>Supported exchanges \u2014 including US-accessible venues<\/h2>\n<p>SharpTrader Crypto integrates with leading WebSocket-enabled crypto exchanges.

It is a configuration of the SharpTrader Lite execution engine, with strategy modules selected for crypto venue microstructure rather than forex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"stc-faq-q\">Why WebSocket API and not REST?<\/div>\n<div class=\"stc-faq-a\">\n<p>REST polling adds 200\u2013500\u00a0ms of round-trip latency before any reaction logic runs \u2014 far too slow for crypto arbitrage windows that often close in under 100\u00a0ms. WebSocket pushes order-book updates over a persistent connection with practical delivery latency of 10\u201350\u00a0ms. For both Latency and Hedge strategies, WebSocket is a precondition, not an optimisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"stc-faq-q\">Can US-based traders use this?<\/div>\n<div class=\"stc-faq-a\">\n<p>Yes.
