Many traders have been successful with this trading type by conducting arbitrage trading. But, I think that if we want to do this arbitrage, we must know and understand more about the pros and cons. Moreover, we can see from the fee difference of deposit or withdrawal, the time of the transaction process, the different or changing price every time in the market. Because sometimes, we may be left behind for only a few minutes because of the delayed withdrawal process, and the price has been dropped.
The cons are rarely considered by many of the newbies that want to try their hands at this style of trading, after all one of the most important cons is how low the profits that you can get really are, after all while in a normal trade even getting something like 1% is kind of easy if you are using a trading style which focuses on the short term, but when it comes to arbitrage trading profits like that would be huge and almost impossible to get, so the fees you will incur are no joke and will eat away most of your profits.
There are some risks in this type of trading, the more you push your luck the more human errors gonna happen. And I didn't even mention, withdrawal fees, trading commissions, possible delays, etc. The short-term profitability is possible but in the long run, it will turn to wasted time, better to do scalping on medium crypto pairs instead of staring at the screen chasing price difference between two exchanges, in my opinion.
Scalping can make nice profit if you know what you are doing otherwise stay away from both trading activities and stick to regular spot markets.
Correct, all of those risks are real, however people think of arbitrage trading as a way to trade and obtain money that has a 100% success rate and for most people that is invaluable, one of the things I have noticed is that people are afraid of being wrong, if they make a prediction about what the market is about to do and open a position in an exchange and then the markets goes on the opposite direction many people have problems digesting this information, it is incredible but many people care more about having a high accuracy rate in the markets than the profits they eventually get, which is why people are so interested in arbitrage trading even if the profits are on the low side.
High accuracy rate indeed and even myself would definitely be eyeing out with this probability rather than on risking on a trade which is really low on success.
It is indeed true that when it comes to preference and own view then people would really be that focusing on arbitrage if they do have the chance since they
do know that these kind of chances doesnt really come often but generally thinking that arbitrage does have less risk honestly if its done well.

I think the biggest problem would be the delays. What if you've been arbitrating the whole time and the exchange got you delayed by having maintenance for that wallet.
That happens for real sometimes within an exchange that unexpectedly comes for some reason. Also, about the withdrawal fees, it might not be an issue since if you're aiming for higher profits but if it's on erc20, there could be some issues within it that you may feel that you should haven't done it because you're not expecting it to be like that.

The strategy is very important to gain profit from arbitraging. And not many people are that patient enough to engage in this kind of activity.
As there are some unseen circumstances, you are just hoping that you will gain at least a lil bit of profit from this endeavor.
This is why this activity is not for all traders. Some do prefer a less stressful way of earning profits from their coins.
There are also several considerations like the coin itself, your time, your funds, trading platforms fees and reputation and so on.

This is why i dont really mind on getting some chances on doing arbitrage since it would be rarely for you to find and if you do find one then most like you would really be ending up on hesitating because you couldnt

be sure if you would able to execute it well since its not an assurance that you've been dealing with right or good exchange most of the time since we know that arbitrage opportunities does usually talks about

less known exchange which there would be always tendency that you would really be having that kind of problem thats what makes you hesitate.

Years ago you could make decent money by arbitrage trading with various exchanges. Back then they were less market makers and less liquidity.

I had many alerts and took advantage of 0.5-1% spreads on certain alt coins. These days however most bots are pretty high tech that they will beat you too it. You need to have some fast bot that quickly can add an order to the market to arbitrate it with another exchange. This is similar to how when there is a flash crash on one exchange but not others, usually within seconds that gap is filed by arbitrage bots. Not humans.


Crypto trading is getting more and more sophisticated and bots are getting very good at it. Hard to beat them now. Arbitrage may still be profitable in some alts. But if you don't now how to strategize on this trading, you may end up losing rather than earning profits. If the gain is very small, do you think it is worth the effort? This is why some are not going into arbitrage trading anymore. They prefer to just hold their assets.
When it comes to short term trading and investing humans are still way better as they can look at all the nuances of the market and take a more informed decision, while a bot can only look at the parameters that you specified on the code, however when it comes to pure execution there is no comparison, bots are way better than humans, this means that arbitrage trading is specifically geared towards them as in arbitrage trading they only need to look at the price and see if there is a disparity, and if there is then they buy in an exchange and sell in another one.
Bots are indeed superior in terms of execution of commands which it couldnt be possibly be influenced with other external factors which we do know.
Human judgement and decision making could neither be beneficial or not depending on the situation thats why its really hard to make out conclusions that it is really worthless.
Arbitrage opportunities does exist but execution would really be affected by some factors which could neither results a profitable trade or not.

I learnt Arbitrage trading on binance and has been on it for a while basically I have no software that provides signals so this keeps me close to my monitor almost at all times except I choose not to trade at a certain time. True arbitrage trading is less risky but the profit made is very little and to get the little profit smartness and speed is needed. To me it's the most stressful
Do u mean traders send from one exchange to other just to exploit this price margin?
Not really, if you were to do that by the time your deposit was received in the exchange then the arbitrage opportunity would have disappeared, you need to have both bitcoin and fiat on both exchanges already, that way if for example the price of bitcoin at one exchange was 41k while in the second exchange it was 42k then you could buy bitcoin with fiat for 41k and then sell bitcoin at the other exchange for 42k, if you were able to get a full bitcoin then this will give you a profit of 1k in a single trade or a profit of 2.3%, the profits are small but if you can take advantage of opportunities like that your capital will slowly grow.

Without a doubt you are going to need a piece of software to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities as it is impossible to take advantage of them otherwise, however do you have the capital to pull this off? Arbitrage trading can be profitable but since the profit of each trade is low and you need to have several accounts in different exchanges then the amount of money needed to become profitable is incredibly high, so unless you can fulfill this requirement then you should forget about it for the time being.

I remember the time when it was possible to do without a bot for arbitrage trading, but now everything has changed and it is impossible for you to do without bots to get a profit. With such volatility in the cryptocurrency market, you can make a profit without wasting time on arbitrage trading.
Personally I never tried to manually try to look for arbitrage opportunities, however it does not surprise me at all to find out that this was possible to do so at some point in time in this market, but what happens is that this market is slowly moving from a bunch of people with libertarian ideals to institutional investors, and once that transition happened then it became quite more difficult to profit from the markets as they bring not only a lot of capital but their tools as well, and this includes arbitrage bots as well.
Arbitrage is known which is a kind of trading which is almost risk free since you wouldn't lose nothing if its been executed well but once you do get yourself caught in some factors then you would really be

ending up a handful of coins into your portfolio which is something that you don't really like to happen.Yes, these method does exist but isn't something that simply could be done off.
In between exchange then you couldn't be sure about their legitimacy since most of the time this do talks about low caps or something.

Bots are quick monsters, they are near instant and that is why it is near impossible for people to make that kind of return. I know that it is not something that people want to hear but if you want to do arbitrage then you need to do it with a bot, otherwise you can't do it.

I know that people are using bots in trading anyway and you could make profit manually trading even though there are bots. However this is not the same, the chance to make a profit manually on trading is valid but the chance to find arbitrage chances are not valid. This is why we need to realize that we could only make a profit in the arbitrage world with a bot, not because there are no chances but because we wouldn't be fast enough.

Trading in the stock market is a thing, but doing it in the crypto market is almost exclusively for professionals (and many people keep ignoring this) and takes years and years of hard study to make it work properly without liquidating your savings.

But I was wondering if any of you tried arbitrage on the crypto market (I'm choosing this option because it is relatively less risky than normal trading, basically the main effort is to find those pricing errors and "exploit" them without incurring in a front-run).

Do you have any experience with this method, which software/programs do you use and what tutorials do you follow to learn it?

This is true. Because if you only have small funds in arbitrage trading, I don't think it is worth your doing this tedious activity for small to no profit. Better hold and wait for the coin to increase its value. But if you have lots of spare time, and good skills, why not? But later on, you will realize, you are spending a lot of time for small profits and you will get burnt out.
Small fund is not enough to pay fees and how to earn profit later, usually I begin with $1,000 for arbitrage trading but some time looking with how much buying order on exchange destination for arbitrage, some time have order buy volume almost $300 and I use only $300 for arbitrage, never take arbitrage fund above with how much buying order on destination exchange, I am not waiting for arbitrage for limit order sell position, always use instant selling when arbitrage coin from one exchange to other exchange market. Usually above $1,000 when arbitrage we can make profit above $100 and minimum I can earn 50$ of profit depend have still left with buy order, but if all buy order gone I will sell depend with price I bough and not good thing for holding as arbitrage.
