💡 Why Zero Opportunities?

This is EXPECTED and NORMAL:

1. Time Needed: Need 30-60 minutes to:

   • Build up pool state
   • Collect sufficient price data
   • Analyze enough transaction volume
   • Find actual price discrepancies

2. Market Conditions: Arbitrage opportunities are:

   • Rare (by design - markets are efficient)
   • Short-lived (ms to seconds)
   • Competitive (many bots hunting)
   • Require specific conditions

3. What Matters Now: The mechanism is fixed:

   • Parser is working ✅
   • Validation is working ✅
   • Detection is unblocked ✅
   • Thresholds are reasonable ✅

🚀 Next Steps

Immediate (Next Hour)

# Start bot for extended monitoring
PROVIDER_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/config/providers_runtime.yaml ./mev-bot start

# Monitor in real-time
tail -f logs/mev_bot.log | grep -i "arbitrage\|opportunity"

Short Term (Next 24 Hours)

1. Monitor for first opportunity detection

2. Collect baseline metrics:

   • DEX transaction rate
   • Parsing success rate
   • Opportunity frequency
   • False positive rate

3. Tune if needed:

   • If too many false positives: raise thresholds
   • If no opportunities: verify pool discovery
   • If parser issues: review edge cases

Long Term (Week 1)

1. Gradually increase thresholds:

   • Week 1: 0.0005 ETH, 0.5% ROI
   • Week 2: 0.001 ETH, 1.0% ROI
   • Week 3: 0.002 ETH, 2.0% ROI (production)

2. Monitor profitability:

   • Track gas costs
   • Measure execution success rate
   • Optimize routing

📝 Recommendations

Continue Monitoring

The bot needs extended runtime (30-60 minutes minimum) to:

• Accumulate market data
• Build price history
• Detect genuine opportunities
• Validate detection accuracy

Watch These Metrics

# Parsing performance
grep "PARSING PERFORMANCE REPORT" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -5

# Arbitrage stats
grep "Arbitrage Service Stats" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -10

# Any new edge cases (should be 0)
grep "EDGE CASE DETECTED" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -1

# Connection health
grep -i "connection\|dns\|health" logs/mev_bot.log | tail -20

Success Indicators

After 30-60 minutes, you should see:

• ✅ Parsing success rate > 50%
• ✅ No edge case warnings
• ✅ Stable connection
• ✅ At least exploration of opportunities (even if not profitable)
