Arbitage trading

[milewilda]

I saw an opportunity to make a profit by arbitrage trading. The price difference in some exchanges seems like it could make a profit. I'm just thinking, not sure. does it could really make any difference because if any transaction takes more time then any trader will lose the initial money.
I saw many youtube videos saying that anyone could make money from this type of trading. Need suggestions from professionals.

Arbitrage trading can be profitable, however there are some problems that you need to solve first, arbitrage trading gives very small profits in each trade so if you want to use this style of trading then you need a huge amount of capital, something the majority of the people do not have, the other issue is that the distortions in the market last a very short time as there are people like you with the same idea and they want to get that money for themselves, so you will need a bot to trade this way in an effective manner.

When it comes to arbitrage then there are few things to put into consideration which is on the ff;

1. Legitimacy of the exchange platform
2. Price gap or differences.
3. Trading fees
4. Withdrawal fees

You should be at least aware on how things should be done for you to utilize profits but if not then you would just be ending up on
on getting nothing because you would just simply pay up for the fees.

This could be more profitable if you have a good timing in the market and have a good capital, though its quiet more risky compare to spot trading just know how it is done properly to avoid losses. If this thing complicate your trading, better to do a spot and trade consistently. I didn’t try Arbitrage trading yet because of its risk, I just don’t have much time to spend in the market.

You are battling with time constraints here. Because transferring from one exchange to another may take time unless, you are using alts like trx or xrp or ltc for transfer purposes. However, if you need to convert them to other coins like btc once transferred, you may be losing some because of price differences or fees. You can always make a table on how much you will really gain during this process. And if you have small funds for this, I don't think it is worth doing arbitrage trading.

[adaseb]

Arbitrage was possible a few years ago however now you can forget about it unless you code a bot and got tons of funds and alts on many exchanges. Very rarely is there a large enough arbitrage trade which will yield you a profit, minus the trading fees and transaction fees, hence only way to do it is if you already own and hold the coins on multiple exchanges.

That way you are only paying the trading fee and not transaction fee since you don’t need to send the coins back and forth on the block chains. Hence it’s only for the market Makers and those who hold lots of coins and do lots of volume. As a small trader you pay higher fees as a market maker your fees are reduced because if you trade more volume they charge you less fees.

There are some traders in the past(In which I met via groups) that made profit from arbitration but this is long back when the difference via exchange is at some point Higher ,
but nowadays i only find Fewer that using this strategy and also those people has Big amount in many exchange in which they can easily Buy or sell when the changes comes .
and also this is mostly for long time traders and not just those newbies here in market.

Yes, I did it a long time ago when exchange regulations weren't as complicated as they are now, where there are currently too many regulations, such as KYC mandatory, withdrawal limits and also high withdrawal fees on different exchanges, and these problems can greatly reduce profits even can get nothing.
In the past, with only $50-100 capital, you could get quite interesting profits, but now it is very possible that profits will decrease or even capital will decrease if you don't have the right calculations.

I will not recommend someone to do arbitrage trading before he can have skills in regular trading type because arbitrage trading can make you lose the chance to sell the coin at a high price. Even if arbitrage trading temp you about the bigger profit than the regular trading, you do not have to follow the other trader doing arbitrage trading because I am sure they have some skills that will be enough to analyze the coin movement before they do that. Regular trading will help you to gain profits and you will not be in a hurry to buy or sell the coin.

If you are not comfortable using arbitrage trading, then focus on regular trading as it has less risk and you won't be pressured when you want to sell the coins. Arbitrage trading may only be profitable for those who have been good in analysis of the price movement in different markets. Aside from that, it will also work if you have a huge amount of funds so you can buy and sell the coins from different exchanges. If you think you are not too good with that, better shift into regular trading as it has more chances for you to be profitable in the end.

The truth about arbitrage I recommend that you have a good bot, because this for me comes into the field of what we know as high frequency trading, and this type of trading is very difficult to get information, I have looked for books that talk about it, it is very difficult Although now there is Artificial Intelligence, I think that to risk trading by arbitrage is something that is not worth it for me, I prefer to trade NFT by pre-sales and sell in public sales, it is much better for me, however there are many that offer the arbitration service through bots but I do not know how profitable it is.

In the beginning, don't think that it's difficult, we must have a strong mind that this trade is sure to be mastered, with that feeling... of course, it will make it easier step by step to master and continue to learn about trade.
What we learn must start from the basics first, not only with the material, it will be more encouraging if we learn while watching tutorials such as videos on youtube.
Learning should not be monotonous, learning from many sources is fun and it is necessary to continue to explore more insights.

You are right, what I have realized is that on YouTube the trading they teach is focused only on technical analysis and it is not that it is bad, it is very good, but I think that you should know as much about technical analysis as well as why movements, to everyone who is starting in trading my recommendation is to read books of market speculators, how they faced the situations, what they did, how they analyzed everything. I'm a fan of Wyckoff and Jesse Livermore, and if it's for investment I recommend Warren Buffet's books.

Instant profit with arbitage trading but is not easy, you need to know first time how much price different between one exchange to other exchange market as destination to sell your arbitage coin, second way you need to know how much order buy on exchange do you sell your coin because when your coin landed on exchange to sell order buy have gone and you got the same price with exchange before.

The price difference in some exchanges seems like it could make a profit. I'm just thinking, not sure. does it could really make any difference because if any transaction takes more time then any trader will lose the initial money.

Yeah, most of the times the price differences are due to unusual reasons like:
1. When an exchange stops depositing and withdrawing for a particular trading pair.
2. When a trading pair is nearing its delisting timeline, will start showing gaps in prices.
3. Wallet sync problem (this related to reason 1).
4. When a sudden pump or dump happens and low volume exchanges start showing gaps in price levels.

Then when we could go for arbitrage opportunities?
When some exchanges are trading on premium prices for popular trading pairs then you may go for it as it got less risks.

When premium prices happen?
When a country regulate/ban crypto or crypto related activities, then traders will have limited options and funds to trade with. Then they will come forward to pay premium prices. This had happened in recent past when Nigiria banned cryptos and India federal bank restricted exchanges to make use of bank accounts for crypto related business.

Arbitrage trading is really profitable but it needs a lot of experience and luck and it also does not work all the time due to a lot of restrictions, for example when there is a price difference in the exchanges some exchanges close the withdrawal or deposit on that coin so you should be aware because you might buy it At a cheap price but you will not be able to withdraw it, also it is possible that the exchange in which the price of the coin is greater will close the deposit.
Another matter, too, may be the volume in that exchange is small and not enough to sell or buy at the price you want, so you should pay attention to this point as well.

[otundebis]

I doubt if Arbitage is as profitable as it's used to be.  The Cryptocurrency market is more open and software are more advanced these days! The abitrage opportunities are not there.  Those exchange that seem to provide abitrage opportunities are likely going to be scam exchange as your money may be stuck there.

Even then, if the exchange you use is safe from fraud. I don't really like arbitrage, citing the minimal level of cross-finance and also having to check all crypto transaction fees with minimal fees. 50 : 50 may depend if you can manage the arbitration process in a structured way. For example, you have made a planned transaction path scheme.

[tvplus006]

During arbitration, you will always depend on how fast the exchange processes withdrawal requests. Today I participated in a discussion on telegram about how some traders bought Flow at a low price on Coinlist in the hope of selling coins at a higher price on Binance, but their withdrawal requests have not yet been processed, despite the fact that more than 10 hours have passed. And now no one knows how much the Flow will cost when it is credited to Binance.

Yeah you can’t do arbitrage that way. The reason why the arbitrage was possible was because obviously there are delays in transferring from exchanges. So whenever you see some large arbitrage you need to investigate further, because usually there is a reason for it. Most likely is that you can’t get it out of the exchange.

Remember that Korean premium a few years back. The price for Bitcoin on the Korean exchanges was like 5-10%. And people wanted to take advantage and turns out it wasn’t that easy. You would basically be stopped where you can’t withdraw the money from the Korean exchanges back to the other exchange to complete the arb.

Arbitrage trading is not something that a regular human can do, it is basically something that bots are doing right now and there is nothing that would make it easy for you by doing it with your hands. Not because it is impossible because you could definitely do something like that if you are fast enough but it would require you to constantly check it and then be fast enough that nobody else does it before you.

I have seen a lot of people who buy tons of USDT when it is under one dollar and sell it when it is over one dollars and that is arbitrage as well and that is not really an easy thing to do.

The main reason why it is harder to do right now is the fact that there are too many trading bots that deal with arbitrage these days as well and people end up making a profit that way and that is why it is super fast and a regular person can't be doing it easily.

The risk that will be faced when the transaction is delayed and takes a long time so that no one knows for sure the price that occurs because the price movement is quite fast.
the rest we will still benefit if everything goes as desired maybe the cost for the transaction must also be considered with the profits to be gained. otherwise of course we will just exchange money or spend money on expenses. the differences that occur on some exchanges are not very high and with all the risks I do not agree with such trading.

If you have a good amount of money, You can do it. I don't know, where and which coin you want to do arbitrage trade.
IF you want to do it between two centralized exchanges, you need to be more careful. Especially if you want to use Hitbtc exchange. I suggest you check the first deposit and withdraw their current status. Because I have seen many times, whenever a coin price is low in other exchange, it's very pumped in Hitbtc exchange. Whenever I tried to do arbitrage, I just found the Hitbtc deposit system is in maintenance mode.

Also, don't try to do it with the ecr20 coin, because the withdrawal fees will eat most of your profit.

I am not a professional crypto trader, but I worked with stock trading in the past and tried myself with arbitrage trading in the past. There are 3 points that caused problems for me and ended up not being so profitable. First of all, we need to take fees into account,since we have to buy and sell at the same time we have to pay fees twice. Secondly, how fast can we react to the arbitrage opportunity? Arbitrage is an inefficiency of the market and will only be around for a very short time. There are other traders looking for the same thing and might react faster. Or it was just an error by the seller or buyer and they quickly cancel their order again. And the last issue I faced was how reliable the trade actually is. I was in a situation where I saw cheap bitcoins bought them instantly and sold them again, just to find out that the buy trade was not being fullfilled and I was left hanging with a sell order. Nonetheless there are arbitrage opportunities that can turn a profit.

All of those points are important but probably the one that is the most important of all is the first one you mention, many times in the past I have seen exchanges in which the price of a coin is extremely different than what we see in the rest of the market and many times the reason this is the case is because you cannot withdraw those coins from the exchange, so in that case you are not really seeing an arbitrage opportunity but a potential scam.
