Arbitage trading

[jostorres]

I saw many youtube videos saying that anyone could make money from this type of trading. Need suggestions from professionals.

Have you ever tried to catch price differences among 3 trading pairs? This is kind of like converting A into B and then B to C and then finally C to A. This must be one of the hidden opportunity that most active traders do miss out as it requires your time and continuous watching price movements.

Moreover, this type of swapping by involving more than 1 trading pairs may get you profits in terms of BTC and not in fiat wise. So, you need to carefully analyze before start involving in any such opportunities. I have made some decent profits for more than 5 times but in more than 3 years of time period. So, it cannot be something we can adopt for routine trading plans.

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've come across an arbitrage opportunity around August this year which changed my life, if am not mistaken, I saw that opportunity and grab it with a capital of around $26 usd, which was all I had in crypto then, the opportunity was there for over a 5 days, I kept buying the coin on the exchange and reselling them on pancake swap where the price was over 50 percent higher, at the end, in just 5 days, I made over $3000 usd in profit with just $26 usd capital.

So what am I saying, arbitrage trading can be very sweet, risk free and highly profitable if by God's grace one meets a good opportunity, it is capable of turning one's life around for good, but remember before embarking on this, make sure to do a proper calculation, remember the fees to buy and sell on the different exchanges, remember the fees to withdraw from one exchange and another, all this fees are to be put into calculation, what ever the outcome profit/loss is will determine whether the journey is worthy of being embarked on.

in just 5 days, I made over $3000 usd in profit with just $26 usd capital.

That is less than 10% and I feel for the time frame of 5 days along with arbitrage opportunity, it must be on lower side as you may keep on making use of the same capital and keep buying and selling to make at least 10x profits if there would not be any delay on withdraw/deposit transactions. Still, 3k without long waiting must be too great to have.

make sure to do a proper calculation, remember the fees to buy and sell on the different exchanges, remember the fees to withdraw from one exchange and another, all this fees are to be put into calculation

These are the exact things where most traders do get messed up. I had bitter experiences when trying to buy and sell on different exchanges. We need to consider about delays on process time of our withdraws and most of the time prices do converge when we are waiting for something.

I also had successful deals earlier, but now the time has changed and bots have replaced the person. It is impossible to compete with bots if you are not a bot yourself) The difference in price between exchanges is now leveled within a few minutes and it is very difficult to profit from arbitrage trading.

[Xxmodded]

How lucky you are when arbitrage most important and keep focus when try with arbitrage trading, some time ever I got loss because have calculated with different altcoin and when success deposit I realize what stupid with me. Many time arbitrage can give us instant profit and I like with this way, until right now keep using arbitrage as my trading and hope can earn much profit for future.

From what I have read from the members' previous posts, there is an opportunity, which is true. You need to consider the point where you need to know where you will arbitrage. Like what I can think of are

• Centralized Exchanges
• DEX
• Sports Betting

The list above is what I could think of where arbitraging is possible.

For the first one, centralized exchanges, you need to have a fast trading setup or trading bot to consider arbitraging because you would be competing with a bunch of bots as well, so you need to be the first one to check on the multiple pairs that could produce that gap between the prices.

For DEX, or decentralized exchange. I think it's most probable to trade manually if you checked a coin that is not that liquid but can be liquid on other chains. I think that's how you can profit from it, but it requires some monitoring as well. I'm not sure how the other members have benefited so much, but if they say they have, then maybe it's true.

Sports betting arbitraging is quite common, I guess. I have read multiple topics here in the gambling discussion, and you need to be aware of the odds on different sites. That way, you could try to take advantage of multiple sites and more profits.

There's not always going to be an arbitrage opportunity manually because there will always be an equalizer within prices. It shouldn't be that far from the global price. I think you should still see bots like Gunbot that can arbitrage. It's impossible to do it manually on famous exchanges like Binance, but approaching it with a bot can be profitable.

I'm sorry I could not remember that I have come across any kind of discussion on sportsbetting arbitraging. I guess this is the first time that I come to know that arbitraging is possible even on sportsbetting. Thanks for opening eye. I guess this will be more effective for making easy money because we are having lots of bookies these days to find different odds to take advantage of.

We need to consider about delays on process time of our withdraws and most of the time prices do converge when we are waiting for something.

Catching the price gap quickly is more important aspect of arbitrage trading and when you are not able to move funds instantly then you should not go for trying it at first hand.

What the hell? How the hell did you manage to find something like that, and how did nobody else saw that happening? It is insane to see something like that and keep doing that for 5 days, I would probably not be able to sleep for 5 days and non-stop do that without ever going to bed or even getting in front of my pc for eating, I would be 24/7 in front of the pc, aside from bathroom break obviously.

You got lucky there because in the end we do not see that type of chances stay for that long. We usually have something like a few minutes if we are lucky, and not even that much frequently neither. It is cool that you end up making a profit like that in arbitrage, I hope we all get stuff like that in the future as well, kudos mate.

Got that same question? How that is possible that no one notice that or maybe they are just quietly enjoying the same perks. But all in all, such opportunities are not always available. In most cases, it's just once in a lifetime.

The process is very possible though with the amount of profits after that 5 day's trade is really wonderful, arbitrage trading is possible but not in that long span of time and not that much in price difference, 50% is quite high and very noticeable. Maybe it's really a lucky week for OP to continuous enjoyed all the benefits.

The thing is, the coin has its own chain, (sorry but I won't mention the name of the coin cus most of you might probably know it, they have a signature campaign which have been running on this forum for some time now, they also some times run forum advert here) it's one this bitcoin copy coins, they for now have a very small community, I discovered the coin through their signature campaign which I participated in some time in the past, they have the native chain coin and a wrapped version on binance smart chain and Ethereum blockchain, the native coin was traded on centralized exchanges while the wrapped version was traded on uniswap for Ethereum version and pancakeswap for bsc version.

Initially, there was no bridge to move native coin to wrapped version and vice visa which made the wrapped versions of the coin way more expensive because they had much more lower supply than the native one, recently around August this year, the team launched the bridge but warned community to be very careful while using it due to unstability(which means there might be bugs which might cause one to loss his coins), I guess this put fear in the hearts of those who were supposed to take advantage of the opportunity, so they completely ignored the bridge, when I saw the opportunity, I quickly jumped on it and for like three days, I was the only one using the bridge, I've made a lot of profit already by this time, by the fourth day, people were already seeing transactions happening on the bridge and they began to come in, alot then joined in the arbitrage opportunity and by the fifth day, price of the native coin and the wrapped version was almost the same already..

Cus what I(we) did was buy the native coin on the centralized exchange, (price of native coin goes up a bit) withdraw it to my wallet, then use the bridge to covert it to wrapped version on binance smart chain, then sell it on pancakeswap,(price of wrapped version goes down a bit)  I(we) kept repeating for as many times as I(we) could in a day until prices became almost the same by the fifth day.

It's a very rear opportunity indeed.

Usually my trading only with Dex exchange to Centralized Exchanges and focus on BSC coin network, I choose with this network because have lower fees for transaction when sending and swap coin at dex exchange, for deposit to Centralized Exchanges just take few minutes only and maximum 5 minutes coin will credit to my Centralized Exchanges account, still not try with other network but ever using polygon network because have lower fees and transaction faster.

Catching the price gap quickly is more important aspect of arbitrage trading and when you are not able to move funds instantly then you should not go for trying it at first hand.

In order to be able to perform this type of trading instantly, you need to have a balance on several exchanges. This way you can simultaneously sell on one exchange and buy on another. And at the same time, you will not be associated with the technical aspect of withdrawing your funds from the exchange.

[tbterryboy]

It's a very rear opportunity indeed.

Do not get me wrong, I never meant anything like how did you manage to do it in a "its impossible" sense. Obviously there are tiny situations where you could do it. And 3k dollars is a drop in the bucket, even less than that in the crypto world. So, I am not suddenly shocked and claim that you are lying or this is impossible.

I just meant that it is a very rare situation and people who are interested in arbitrage trading should not be hoping to have something like this every month. They will be able to see something like this every once in a blue moon, its very rare, but it is not impossible neither. My suggestion was towards people who "hoped" for something like this, you just happen to see it, not aim for it.

It is completely possible, in fact arbitrage technically is possible in any industry as long as you can get an asset for a cheaper fee and then resell it for a higher fee, one example of this are garage sales, many times in garage sales people want to get rid of the objects they are selling and they are selling them for cheap, for many this is just cheap junk but there are professionals on that market that can tell if there are some objects that are heavily underpriced which they can buy and then sell immediately for profit, another example is flipping houses, in which a person buys a house in bad conditions for cheap, fix it and then sell it for very high prices.

Buy and sell doesnt really only correlates with this market alone but also in other things in life which some people do really failed it to see but actually they do really exist and its up to someone on how they would

see this as an opportunity on where they could really benefit out in terms of profits. Arbitrage trading does exist in between platforms where price could really differ on considerable manner on where

someone could really take some advantage if they do know on what they are doing but just dont forget those important factors that would affect your profitability.

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.

Making profits out of arbitrage opportunity is not limited to spotting gaps in prices levels across exchanges but lots of other factors are influencing it. Usually those price gap will disappear when you are taking time for moving funds from one exchange to another one. Still, some people are having solution for this by having funds on multiple exchanges so that they could buy and sell immediately to catch those price gap but practically that is not viable.

You must get continuous arbitrage opportunity so that you could profit from it. Just a short-term arbitrate opportunity may get you trapped in between.

Or use alternative coins when moving your capital, there are alts that introduce quick transactions with low fees you can take advantage of it in moving your coin to another exchange when you spot a good gap between two exchanges, there are skilled traders who really spare their time in finding opportunities in performing arbitrage trading, you need to keep an eye to every sides of each exchange when trying to look for good coin for your trade.

More on short-term goals as every opportunity like this is being eyed by day traders who love taking their edge with other traders
who also trying to look for a good position to earn.

There are multiple problems in using other coins for deposit/withdraw. Because, you need to bear the "spread". It means you need to buy any altcoin at "ask" price and need to sell at available "bid" prices (for instant buy and sell) and when exchanges are having again gap in this spread then your profit level will significantly diminish.

So, using other coins than what we are usually considering for arbitrage will certainly impact your profit levels.

Obviously who are all continuously watching markets may figure out the price gaps across exchanges. So, day trader might be getting arbitrage opportunity more frequently than others.

I have to say watching coins just for arbitrage will be a very slow thing that will cause you to end up losing a lot of money. I personally do trading, and whenever I just happen to see a chance then I try to take it.

Basically, do not revolve your life around finding arbitrage chances because they are few and it will not make you ton of money, there are bots that are doing it anyway so you will not face too much of it. However, if you are certain that you are good at trading, then you could keep on trading in multiple places and that way you could see the difference and make money.

These days arbitrage became a little bit "easier" with the swaps, there are so many methods that you could swap tokens in uniswap and pancakeswap and other places that you could literally find a million of them, but it is also quite difficult because you may not end up with what you want, it is not limit order, it is market order hence why it is difficult.

Got a good point  , and it's also needed to check before doing this alternative way, knowing the potential gap you need to take it into account if it's worthy to gamble the risk. I consider your reply as a good way to inform readers that even it's possible to use other alternative coin to transfer fund between exchange there should be a balance check to be done before doing it.

Indeed, they are the one who have a wider open eyes, this kind of opportunities won't pass to their noticed.

They will take advantage of this gap and make sure that it won't be wasted. Day traders keep on collecting from arbitrage opportunities.
