Calculate arbitrage signals for an index at 4500 with a futures price of 4550, 30 days to expiry, 3% risk-free rate, and 1% dividend yield.

The basis is positive, indicating a CASH_AND_CARRY opportunity. The fair value is 4503.29, and the basis is 46.71.

Check if the current market conditions are viable for arbitrage with 15,000 open interest and a 0.1% basis.

The market is not viable because the basis does not provide a sufficient buffer over transaction costs.

Analyze the historical basis for these prices: [{'indexPrice': 100, 'futuresPrice': 102, 'daysToExpiration': 10}, {'indexPrice': 101, 'futuresPrice': 100, 'daysToExpiration': 5}] with 2% risk-free rate and 1% dividend yield.

The analysis shows 1 opportunity found with an average basis of 1.2%.
