in short words its buying and selling Smiley

more precisely. buying in place quiet and selling in place crowded Cheesy
That's my strategy  Grin
simply buying and selling by exploit difference price in many marketplace.
thats arbitrage.
bitcoin arbitrage = buying and selling bitcoin by exploit difference price in several bitcoin exchangers.

yes I know about it, arbitrage is practice to take advantage of price differences that occur between the two financial markets or exchanger
I've been quite a long time playing this arbitrage method

Not quite, it involves a bit of risk and requires good capital.  Moreover,  the most important thing is identifying potential arbitrage opportunities.

But I think, you only need minimal amount? At least most opportunities I see, are rather small..

You also need a lot of cash to make it interesting.
Some money on every Exchange.... Pfff ...It sound like danger to me.

yes volume is important too. because you can buy btc but if you cant sell it, then arbitrage is down. and a big fees over there. waiting for you. you have to calc them also. arbitrage is really hard stuff. if anybody can do it, im really congrat to them. great job.

I agree that there appear to be bots trading these things.  If you don't make or buy a bot you chances of arbitrage are slim.  There is a bot that does arbitrage withing an exchange, when there is an inefficiency between 3 currencies, such as dollar, btc and ltc.  But we are talking about really slim margins here.  IMO you are better off using other methods of trading to make money.  And trading isn't easy so be careful!

I suppose there are not many bots, especially for altcoins markets. Just checked live cross-exchange table (http://www.bitcoinfo.ru/trading/ for example) and noticed many altcoin pairs with 5-10-20% arbitrage possibilities.

Some make such trading manually but no signs for the bot activity.

Another issue is liquidity. Just because BTC has a certain price on an exchange, if the volume is too low then it doesn't help much.

Even for technical trading, bots can be very useful. braino has a slack channel discussing bots and strategies. Let him or me know, if you want to join.

You could move the BTC back, when the prices are equal. That might take forever, though...

And you lose money due to fees. Same goes for the fiat transfer. This has to be part of the profit calculation!

The problem is when funds get imbalanced due to strong bull or bear trends. Then, eventually, you are stuck with most or all funds on one exchange, and need to wait for an opportunity to rebalance. I believe efforts are better spent towards trading. Wink

Does anyone knows Bitcoin Arbitrage?

How does it works?

Please explain
Buy on one Exchange for cheaper price and dump on another Exchange to higher price.
This is Arbitrage.... You have to hold funds on both exchnages.

So you transfer USD to btc-e, buy BTC, do the arb trades and end up with USD at LakeBTC. But there is no good (cheap) way to get the USD back to btc-e or your pocket? Or maybe you see other opportunities, than I cannot see...

I'm thinking that much of what people do here is not accurately described as arbitrage. Rather, people are buying BTC when it is low on one exchange to sell while it is high on another. Then rinse/repeat when the spreads return to the mean.

an arb plan in last year: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-realistic-arb-plan-buy-btceusd-sell-lakeusd-just-need-a-trading-bot-765074  at that time, there is little profits due to the high fee

but both btc-e and lakebtc had decreased the rates, the fee is lower today, I think that plan could be acted now  Smiley

you can see the arb profits in this site  http://bitcoin-analytics.com/#xarbitrage

I already wrote bots to check for such opportinities, like this one:

, but I don't see any possibility for me at the moment to implement such a trading scheme.

Write me a PM, if you are interested in a collab or have other ideas. I am willing to write some code and share the profits.

If you have the infrastructure to move FIAT (from one country to country), there might be great opportunities. But I'm just a coder, not a banker.

then you can go ahead and make a bot that work with arbitrage, i'm sure it is possible to earn some low percentage, around 3-5% if you bot is well coded and it is fast enough

But how to rebalance funds?

you can do it through api with your client, or with your online wallet, if let's the your balance is under a certain amount, you just code your bot so it can send more coins

those should be easy stuff for any coders, i'm surprised that you're asking this...
