Example of use: On 4 May 2018, BitMEX's XBTU18 was trading >2% above perpetual swap. The grid alerts signaled that and if one were long on bitcoin spot on any exchange, then it would have been a good idea to hedge a short on XBTU18. Eventually from there the premium gap was closed while bitcoin fell.
