This is an interesting topic as I was looking into trading signals or arbitrage strategies in Bitcoin. I may have posted this a while ago but there is a research team that predicted Bitcoin will trade below $200. They will begin sending trade alerts on 24 Feb, I wonder if they have any Arbitrage strategies as well. Let me know what you think guys, they are into all kind of stuff, https://www.ddmarkets.com/selected-trade-alerts-packages/
Wow! a paid alert service

The easy way to do it is , get coins to one exchange where you think is high and get cash deposit to another and when you are ready wait for a good arbitrage opportunity and just sell at high and withdraw and by at cheap and withdraw 
But to make good profit , you will have to go with little good amount and look out for pretty nice difference , somtime it is even 8$
But to make good profit , you will have to go with little good amount and look out for pretty nice difference , somtime it is even 8$
Right now is possible to buy at www.btc-e.com at price $237.3 per bitcoin and sell in www.vircurex.com at price $261 per bitcoin. it is a big diference but I still think it is not profitable long term.
That is not possible , vircurex is a small exchange as you can see there volume is 0.02 btc
How do you plan to sell it ?
You won't make profit but loss on such small trade
One could sell more than 0.2 btc bellow $261 and still is a good difference, but not too much to sell. You are right, this is one reason why I think it is not profitable.
If we look at it! suppose we buy btc at 240$ on btc-e.com and then get that 1 btc to vircurex.com
as per now Buy orders you can sell 0.818 btc for 204$
so you are left with 0.18 btc which you can withdraw and sell for 43$ at rate of 240$
so now you have total of 247$ (204 + 43)
when you withdraw a little fees is charged i.e. 0.002 btc which is 20x the normal transaction fee
so about 6$ profit for so much work with no gaurantee
Good luck if you want to do it
Though i like their interest policy , 15% interest(out of the trade fees) to everyone with atleast 1 btc every 6 hours
I already tried that, and too buy and sell when the difference is big and do the opposite when the difference is small to avoid transfer money between exchanges. I already tried to buy bitcoin with litecoin, use the bitcoins to buy dollars and use the dollars to buy litecoin in the same exchange if the prices allow profit. I used a robot and neither of these strategies gave profit enough that worth.
To really make profit out of arbitrage , you will have to put small order's on little exchange's on stable alt's like DOGE , BTC ain't gonna give you good profit with small volume

Like people have mentioned , if the price difference is larger than it will work , but otherwise the trade fee's , deposit fee , withdrawal fee will take your money. And dont forget that it takes 10 minutes or so to send the money , while that's going on prices could change.
10 minutes?
more likely like almost 15 min/ 1 confirmation nowadays
block is hardly minted now
it could be possible with faster coins confirmations, to play with the arbitrage thing, not certainly with bitcoin
Sometimes the BTC/USD rate differ a lot from an exchange to another, can be several USD. If I have an account in bitfinex, can I transfer the coins to kraken and sell them there ? For example if the rate is 220 $ in bitfinex and 225 $ in kraken.
Don't even try that fee for each transaction will kill the profit and made some loose the best way to do arbitrage is to waita huge coming then buy at the moment and if the price dropped then sell
I tried to buy in the cheap and sell in the expensive when the difference is big and buy in the expensive and sell in the cheap when the difference is small so no need to transfer money, only the commission is cut off. But too much time to increase/decrease the difference and there is no warranty it will happen, so it give too few money and do not worth.

Its doable, and i did this alot in the past, the reason why people are not doing it as much today is relatively small increase/decrease of the price.
I wait for large market moves and then arb between large exchanges and my local one, early in the morning, before other people get a chance to react.
