Exchanges and markets
Which exchanges and markets SpreadFighter covers: Binance, Hyperliquid, Aster, Bybit, OKX and LMAX forex. What works on each one, and how to pick an exchange on the chart and in screeners.
Manipulation monitor filters: exchange and asset type switches. The Ex column shows the exchange of each row.

Notes:
- Hyperliquid. The funding rate is hourly; on Binance it is per period of 8, 4 or 1 hour. Only Hyperliquid has the oracle price and the perp-to-index divergence, as well as the HL Whales tracker.
- Aster. The exchange does not publish liquidations. We have been collecting open interest history since 1 Oct 2026: there is none before that date.
- Bybit. The exchange provides 1000 order book levels, so for the most liquid coins (BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT) the order book bands farther than about 5% from the price are empty. Candle history before 4 Nov 2026 was loaded without taker volume: it is not available in the Bybit REST API.
- OKX. OKX publishes liquidations as a sample, not a full stream: the amounts are lower than the real ones.
- Trading from the chart and from the Trading widget goes through Binance Futures and TigerTrade. On Pionex you can launch grid bots, see Pionex: grids from SpreadFighter.
How to pick an exchange
On the chart. A symbol from an exchange is written with a prefix: BYBIT:BTCUSDT, OKX:BTCUSDT, ASTER:BTCUSDT, HYPERLIQUID:BTC, LMAX forex — FOREX:EURUSD. A symbol without a prefix means Binance. Symbol search has an exchange filter.
BTCUSDT on Binance, Bybit, OKX and Aster are four different markets with different prices, order books and liquidations. Check the prefix in the chart header.
In screeners. The Ex column shows the exchange tag in every row. In the panel's filter window (funnel icon) you switch exchanges and asset types on and off. At least one exchange and one type must stay on.
Asset types
Besides cryptocurrencies, exchanges list perpetual futures on equities, commodities, indexes and currencies. The "Asset types" filter in screeners splits them into five groups:
| Type | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Crypto | Cryptocurrencies |
| Equity | Stocks and funds, including pre-IPO stocks on Binance |
| Commodity | Metals, oil, gas |
| Index | Indexes, for example BTCDOM on Binance |
| Forex | Currency pairs |
The type comes from exchange data. Hyperliquid has no such field, so HIP-3 markets get their type from the same ticker on Binance or Aster. A few HIP-3 markets, such as bond yields, do not fall into any group.
