Explore complementary indicator rolesHow it works
The script analyzes Bitcoin prices from two different exchanges, primarily Coinbase and a user-selected alternative like Bitfinex. It calculates the price difference by subtracting the closing price of Bitcoin on the selected exchange from Coinbase's closing price, generating a numerical premium or discount value.
This premium calculation is then visually represented through a color-coded histogram, with yellow indicating a premium (Coinbase price higher) and blue signaling a discount (Coinbase price lower). Traders can quickly interpret market variations through this intuitive graphical representation.
Why it may be useful
This signal provides traders with real-time insights into price discrepancies across cryptocurrency exchanges, which can reveal potential arbitrage opportunities. By understanding price variations, traders can make more informed decisions about market sentiment and potential trading strategies.
