What Basis Arb does

Basis Arb turns spot-perp basis and funding into a directional signal for futures entries. Use it when you want to trade the perp leg from basis flips or cash-and-carry setups, not run a hedged two-leg arbitrage.

Basis Arb is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Basis Arb comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, algorithmic-trading, backtesting and equities.

Excerpt

Strategy: Basis Flipping — Directional (Long-Perp Leg)

Honest framing — read this first

True basis arbitrage is a two-leg trade:

Long perp + short spot (when perp trades at a discount to spot, basis < 0)
Short perp + long spot (when perp trades at a premium, basis > 0)

You earn the basis as the legs converge. Freqtrade is a single-leg engine — it can't run paired hedged trades on the same ticker. The strategy below captures the directional signal that "basis flipping negative + funding negative = bullish positioning shift" and goes long the perp accordingly. It's a momentum read on positioning, not a hedged arb.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
