# How to Compare Exchange Prices with OpenClaw

OpenClaw automates cross-exchange price monitoring for arbitrage detection. Schedule frequent price comparisons across your exchange accounts, calculate spreads net of fees automatically, and trigger alerts when profitable opportunities exceed your minimum threshold -- scanning continuously without manual checks.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask OpenClaw: "Compare Bitcoin prices across exchanges"
3. OpenClaw shows prices and spreads for each exchange
4. Ask which exchange offers the best deal after fees

## Example Prompt

```
Where is ETH cheapest right now? Compare prices across major exchanges.
```

## Tips

- Check before making large purchases to save on price differences
- Factor in withdrawal times -- a cheaper price is useless if funds take hours to move
- Run comparisons for stablecoins too -- even USDT can have small exchange premiums
