Arbitage trading

[Fredomago]

In my opinion, arbitrage trading has already completely exhausted itself a few years ago. Currently, the difference in the price of a coin is quickly corrected by bots and a person simply cannot compete with them. If you see a big difference in price on different exchanges, then you should check the possibility of withdrawal and input, as they are usually closed in this case.

You cant see it now rampantly but there are still some chances though but it doesn't really last long as always and finding these kind of opportunities is something that cant really be found on easy way.

Yeah, its worth to try but you should really consider several factors which would be needed so that you would end up on having profits and not just wasting off your trade on just because of the fees.

So there would be still lots of considerations for you to take to be that profitable but well chances are slim to find out.

Chances are slim but a gem once you practice it and make work with your trading activities, arbitrage is not always there some might be
a mistake by exchange or by the dev, but most are just to allure traders to send their coins or their money, not knowing that it's just a bot from that particular exchange.

Once your money completely arrives, the buy or sell orders automatically being removed.

Be very careful and always assess any actions that you are planning to execute during your trade.

Arbitage trading, in my opinion, is extremely valuable because there is always a difference in value across markets. People can easily buy something at one certain market and sell it at a different market because the price of such a market is considerable. As a result, users frequently earn in this manner. As a result, it appears to be extremely productive.

It's not as easy as you think to get profit in arbitrage trading, because basically the market price always moves without any certainty so there is no big guarantee for us to succeed in getting a profit when trading, besides that arbitrage also has many challenges faced by traders such as timing limited for them to make decisions and also have to be prepared to face the risk of exchange.

In one form of arbitrage trading people make profit out of the price difference between two countries. This way of profit making can be made effective with the involvement of two persons residing at different countries that have variation in the price. In my country people cash bitcoin through P2P with profit margin of atleast 10% which is simple big when we consider a transaction of 1 bitcoin per day. So, even if someone could get me at a 5% profit residing at other country I'll make a profit of 5%. This is how arbitrage becomes effective between country technique. This is a thinking that striked my mind, I'm not sure how effective this will work.

To be honest, this option is completely different. At least, I think that for work, this option can also be interesting, but only with a certain approach.

Arbitrage trading is the activity of buying and selling using two different exchanges. The purpose of this trade is to make a profit from the difference in the price of assets on the exchange. This arbitrage process if done correctly can be profitable. For example, by buying Bitcoin from Market A which has a lower price, then selling it to B or C at a higher price. Another strategy in arbitrage on crypto assets is to make cross-border transactions. It seems very natural that the demand and supply of digital assets in each country is different.

When some country's people are ready to pay premium prices for bitcoin due to their government restrictions, you may go for arbitrage trading with them. Last year I tried to trade for premium price with a Nigerian colleague, but unfortunately I got stuck due to my local exchange's policy on approving deposit timing. They do deposit my funds only twice a day which really killed that arbitrage opportunity.

In order to catch price gaps which might be across exchanges or anywhere, you must need to be lucky enough to make use of that. Because, there are lots of factors we need to consider and time factor must be more important here to get benefitted from arbitrage trading.

You have nicely described arbitrage trade
But the main problem with doing arbitrage is, You need a lot of funds. With a small fund, you cant able gain a good profit. Also if you want to move erc20 based coin for arbitrage, You need to pay a fee and the fees are very high right now.
Also when you are moving an asset, there is a high chance of price fluctuation. In this way, you can lose money.  r

All are needed to consider before dealing with this kind of opportunities,

You have a very nice point since arbitrage is really something that you have to invest good amount of funds,
the chance of high difference from the price is too small,

most of the time  it's only a slight difference but if you have decent amount of money to invest and you already
do your research, rinsing and keep repeating the strategy will allow you to earn decently.

The main requirement is to have sufficient funds, a minimum of $1k to be able to arbitrate. But some networks like ERC20 have very expensive fees. For arbitration, they usually use cheaper networks such as BSC, Polygon, etc. because the fees are very cheap.

the main problem is also the state of network traffic, sometimes the network is overloaded and it will take longer to enter, so it will reduce profits because it is too late to sell it.

Yes, sufficient funds is very important in arbitrage trading, but that does not mean it is not also risky, it is risky because of the trading pattern on the exchange used. There are some exchange that can displayed profitable price, but when traded, it will be different. Arbitrage traders should know about the exchanges they are using for not to lose, arbitrage trading is more than the price of the coins that traders are using on exchanges to take profit, the exchange should have be studied.

I do it really understand this, almost all the exchanges I have used for withdrawal process fee fast.

[Slow death]

I think that few people still take the risk of  Arbitage and if they do, I believe they do  Arbitage  using some bot, in the past I tried to do  Arbitage  but the exchanges transaction fees were too high and for that reason I gave up. I wonder:

how many people in this thread are still doing  Arbitage and if do arbitage still have a profit?

You shouldnt mind for that question to be answered yet most likely they wont really able to see this thread in regarding whether they do really make some

arbitrage trading but for sure there are still traders who do make use of this kind of trading which could neither be profitable or not depending on different circumstances which is neither worth a try or not.

Fees is one of the most crucial on making these kind of trades yet you wouldnt know if it would be somewhat worth or would totally just break even
or you do patch up instead.So its up to your choice.

You are right, network traffic sometimes has a problem, it is very annoying. Sending the tokens to another exchange may take a very long time, it makes us miss the chance to gain maximum profits. When the token arrives at the destination address, the pump is over already. So, we cannot sell the token at a high rate anymore, finally we get only a little profit. I guess you ever experienced this, don't you?

The only solution to this problem will be an option where you simply sell a coin on one exchange and buy on another. In this case, you will not be dependent on the processing speed of your withdrawal order and in addition, you will not have to pay a commission related to the withdrawal of coins from the exchange.

the thing that makes me never do Arbitage is because of this. however, no matter how fast you act when you see the price difference, the thing that determines success or failure is when your asset enters the market. Besides, the price difference on the market sometimes doesn't last that long, so, I never do that.

Well, apart from that, another thing is I'm afraid that sometimes the market may become incompatible with your country. sometimes the price difference is too big which makes it quite suspicious. this has happened to WPP tokens. the price difference is huge. however, in reality, it is a trading difference by country. You can't make a deposit on a market with a high WPP price

Yeah, I have seen gaps in price levels when trading for that coin/token is stopped for some reason like maintenance/ upgrading mining algorithm. There are lots of reasons for gaps in price levels other than luring traders but we need to be careful for finding the real arbitrage opportunity. Success in in trading is all about not rushing always which is highly true even for the case of arbitrage trading.

the price difference on the market sometimes doesn't last that long, so, I never do that.

Sometimes only when you are going for multiple round of arbitrage trading then only you can find significant profits and if you are not able to going for multiple round of arbitrage trading (for the reason quicker convergence of prices) then it would be better to stay away.

The processing of withdrawals from the exchange is not guaranteed to be carried out as usual at certain times due to network traffic constraints, the best solution is to rely on purchasing tokens on the Dex market then you set the gas fee for transfer to the destination market, currently ethereum based tokens have almost no potential arbitrage because it has high swap costs, another alternative is to use another network if the token is spread across various other networks.

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.

Of course can, but we must really focus on it. There usually a reason why price between exchanges have really big spread. It is right we must fast in arbitrage, because who take advantage of the moment is not only us but a lot of other traders usually know about it and want to do arbitrage too. But if we are careless and not see the reason first, usually there are problem with deposit and withdrawal and we wouldn't want to buy the coin and then stuck in market.

Be careful with the exchanges that you’re trading with, don’t send your money to an exchange that you know nothing about just because you saw a price change that you can benefit from. Just make sure that you’re looking through good exchanges.

Arbitrage trading is a good way to make money to benefit from the price differences that you would find on different exchanges, but do your proper research on this particular type of trading or maybe ask people around you that knows how it works so that they will be able to explain to you and you will learn. If you have no full understanding on how it works, it’s best to stay clear for now.

I doubt I don't really get your point, mate. Can you explain more?
Sure, the target is to sell in one exchange, not to many exchanges. I think focusing on one exchange is enough, why do we need to sell on some exchanges? Anyway, do you mean commission is the fee? There should be a commission in withdrawal coins, but the number can be different among exchanges. So, if it is possible, choose the exchanges with a cheap commission.
