Welcome to APEX Documentation¶

APEX
A sophisticated Go-based system for detecting arbitrage opportunities across cryptocurrency exchanges in real-time.

What is Arbitrage?¶

Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of price differences for the same asset in different markets. In the context of cryptocurrency trading, this means buying a cryptocurrency on one exchange where the price is lower and simultaneously selling it on another exchange where the price is higher, making a profit from the price difference.
