How do you make money with arbitrage?

Define Arbitrage

  • Arbitrage is the process of buying an asset on one market and then selling it on another market at a higher price, in order to profit from the difference in price.
  • In the context of cryptocurrency, this typically involves buying a cryptocurrency on one exchange and then selling it on another exchange where the price is higher.

Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to do cryptocurrency arbitrage:

Research:
  • Research different cryptocurrency exchanges to find out which ones have the largest price differences for the cryptocurrency you want to trade.
Compare prices:
  • Compare the prices of the cryptocurrency on the different exchanges you have identified.
  • Look for exchanges where the cryptocurrency is priced lower and exchanges where it is priced higher.
Transfer funds:
  • Transfer funds from your main exchange account to the exchange where the cryptocurrency is priced lower.
Buy low:
  • Buy the cryptocurrency on the exchange where it is priced lower.
Transfer the cryptocurrency:
  • Transfer the cryptocurrency to the exchange where it is priced higher.
Sell high:
  • Sell the cryptocurrency on the exchange where it is priced higher.
Repeat the process:
  • Repeat the process of transferring funds and buying and selling the cryptocurrency on different exchanges to take advantage of price differences.

Last Words

  • It's important to keep in mind that arbitrage trading can be risky and there are several factors that can affect the execution such as transaction fees, market volatility, and withdrawal/deposit limits.

Great info on arbitrage and I remember doing it a few years back. I wonder if today are still arbitrage opportunities considering the technological evolvement and minimizing the price gaps between platforms. Can you give an example of an arbitrage opportunity you've seen lately?

Yes. While centralized exchanges charge small fees, they do add up, and so you must calculate whet they are, and if bridges are involved, calculate that too. There are sometimes arbitrage opportunities across bridges between ecosystems. Tricky but not as tricky as SBF buying Bitcoin in the US and selling it in Japan. LOL!

You make a good point.
I think the opportunities are fewer, and the spreads smaller, and they are short lived. But I still see arbitrage opportunities between wleo and leo periodically. It is tricky due to ETh fees on WLEO side, but with large increments of 1000 you can sometimes make 30%. But if the brideg fails your SOL.

It's not hard to arbitrage but it's definitely tough to consider all the factors. It's a good overview but I would also have people consider how long it takes to have the funds available also.
