#spread

The statistical-arbitrage signal between two coins — how stretched their price ratio is versus its own recent average, computed live from Binance daily candles (no key, nothing stored). Pairs traders do not bet on direction; they bet on the spread between two correlated coins reverting to its mean. When ETH/BTC (or any ratio) runs two standard deviations above its average, the spread is stretched — short the rich leg, long the cheap one, and profit when it snaps back. The spread endpoint takes two coins and returns the current price ratio, its rolling mean and standard deviation, the z-score (how many standard deviations stretched), the return correlation of the two coins (pairs trading works on correlated pairs) and a long/short mean-reversion signal. The screener endpoint scans every pair in a liquid basket and ranks them by absolute z-score — the most stretched, most tradeable spreads right now. The coins endpoint lists what is covered. The pairs-trading / relative-value spread cut for crypto — distinct from the correlation-&-beta API (which gives the correlation matrix, not the tradeable spread), the single-coin momentum, the funding-arbitrage and the price APIs. It answers whether a spread is stretched, not whether two coins move together.
