The same reader that draws this page is built to run on our server every 30 minutes and post to a Telegram channel, once the channel is wired, when a line clears $5 net. Same reserves, same arithmetic: the message names the figure this page shows. Open to Bronze and above.

Reserves are read from each pair, the pool address from the PancakeSwap factory, the vault rate from the vault, the oracle rate from the oracle, the gas price from the chain. The pool’s output for an input is its own formula with its 0.25% fee on the input. The best size is the input at which the next unit stops paying, which for a constant-product pool against a fixed reference has a closed form; a loop through several pools is searched numerically. Gas is the read price times 130,000 units per swap and 100,000 per vault or market leg. A line is called realisable when it clears gas by at least $1. The gas units are the only assumed inputs to a figure; the $1 floor, the alert threshold and the stated sizes are choices, written down in the repository’s config.
The ladder gets worse as it gets bigger because it is the pool it is trading against that moves. A loss at the larger sizes is the depth, stated plainly, and the reason the best size is small.
A reference you can trade at makes a spread a profit. A reference that is only a rate makes it a fact: IRTX bought under the oracle is worth the oracle as collateral in the lending market, and that is the only place the difference is honoured. Dollar values use the protocol’s own oracle prices. The stated sizes are $10, $50, $250, chosen to bracket the depth of the pools as they are.
Every price the protocol publishes, against the pool that trades the same asset. The gap is shown as a distance and the money in it as depth, so a wide gap on a thin pool reads as what it is. Profit is what a trade of the best size clears after the pool’s fee and gas, never the headline spread.
