Currency / market arbitrage

[LandOfSeas]

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

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!

I've also made, a website, which I personally use for small arbitrage opportunities.

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.

yeah, i noticed your website - i just missed the point where you can directly compare the different sites.

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

In your USD-GBP section, you've got GBP and USD reversed.  Currently 1 USD is 0.6112 GBP.
