Practical overview
When it fits
Consider the project when evaluating a bot for exchange-spread monitoring and automated trading setup, or when reviewing its listed adjacent strategy features.
Who it is for
- Crypto traders exploring automated cross-exchange arbitrage workflows.
- Python developers assessing an open-source trading-bot project.
- Users interested in the additional strategies and tools listed in the README.
Documented uses
- Monitor price spreads for selected crypto pairs across named exchanges.

Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies the project as MIT-licensed. Its README describes a downloadable desktop package and states that it is free to use; those access and pricing statements are project-published.
- The README names Binance, Bybit, OKX and HTX for cross-exchange monitoring.
- The documented setup calls for exchange API keys and recommends IP whitelisting.
- Project documentation describes a demo mode before live trading.
- The README promotes performance and usage figures that are not independently verified here.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare the documented exchange-trading setup
Follow the README's stated preparation stages for configuring an exchange connection and an arbitrage strategy.
Before you start
- Cortex AI v3.4 downloaded from the project-linked site
- API keys from a supported exchange
Steps
Extract the downloaded archive and run the installer.
In the application, open Settings → Exchanges and enter exchange API keys.
Select trading pairs, set a minimum spread threshold, and configure risk limits and maximum position size.
Use Demo Mode for the README's suggested 24-hour trial before enabling live trading.
Expected outcome
The README describes an exchange connection and configured strategy, with Demo Mode as a preliminary stage before live trading.
Guide limitations
- The available project information does not include code-level installation details or independently verified execution results.
- The README's suggested threshold and demo period are project guidance, not guaranteed settings for every user.
