Title: Currency / market arbitrage Post by: LandOfSeas on May 31, 2011, 09:21:23 PM I just noted that on the different markets for bitcoins the prices vary a lot.
A calculation based on the current prices for Mt Gox and Britcoin (live updated) can be found at http://projects.delux.me/bitcoin_arbitrage/ As I do not own accounts on any of the trading platforms, you are welcome to contact me if you own accounts on multiple trading platforms. I have experience in creating bots for real money trading platforms and would love to write a working one for this platform as well : ) best regards!

http://bitcoinprices.com (http://http://bitcoinprices.com) Besides MtGox and Britcoin, there is also Bitomat. Hopefully soon I will also add Bitmarket. Right now one has to simply switch between markets, to see their current exchange rates and price differencies. Probably I will have to add also something, that will instantly recalculate and easily show the possibilities for arbitrage. Definitely this is an interesting topic.

i think the main problem is the time you need to transact everything between the markets - that is where the price comes from....
