Topic: is arbitrage still possible in crypto ? (Read 495 times)
There are two known ways for arbitrage. First, A automatical process that actually refers bot trading where you need decent amount of capital as well as need to build trading bot that are tracking altcoins and so fast for buying and selling instantly. And secondly manual process where you need to do all process yourself like before. For that, you need to select that altcoin which are under rated, cause good altcoins are tracked by huge numbers of people as for opportunity. Meanwhile i found a coin, that has higher price in dex and lower price in cex. I think you can find such opportunity, just need to spend more time for investigation with market. But for arbitrage, you need to created account in every exchange where most of exchanges ask for kyc verification
I think it is still possible to do it, but not on a large exchange, but from Dex to Cex, where the trading volume is not too large. But the problem is that nowadays it is very rare that there is a large price difference between Cex and Cex or Dex. Except for several altcoins that have just been listed, namely altcoins that are immediately listed on many Cex at once. Because the pump level in each CEX is always different. But still the risk is very high because we never know whether the price will remain high while we are sending coins to another cex.
I noticed that the biggest difference in the price of a coin occurs precisely at the moment when a simultaneous listing is carried out on centralized exchanges. But the exchange completely excludes the possibility of arbitration, as they close the withdrawal of such a coin for a certain time until the price of the coin on the exchanges is equalized.
It can always be done, and even if you compare prices for several altcoins it is more often the case that the price gap is better. Bitcoin is the same, but because of its high liquidity, Bitcoin only provides a small price difference.
The problem that I often encounter when doing arbitrage is the problem of time, where some coins and exchanges are sometimes very slow in processing certain coin withdrawals, so running out of time to do arbitrage often occurs because of this.
Always experiment with it, because when you see these arbitrage opportunities, free money will land smoothly in your wallet.

is arbitrage still possible in crypto ? anyone has any luck with this method ?
It is possible but to make a significant profit you need to have a good amount of funds and time to observe the market. Also people and exchanges are using bots to find any arbitrage opportunity to make profit so it becomes harder for retail investor to make money by doing arbitrage trading. Still some people manage to find opportunity from the market but to make profit from arbitrage you need to be very fast because the opportunity can last for only few minutes or seconds.

Yes, arbitrage in the cryptocurrency markets is possible today but it is also quite difficult. This is because there are many more people trading in the cryptocurrency markets today, AI bots evaluate such opportunities very quickly and prices are generally very close to each other in many exchanges. In addition, since the transaction volume in the cryptocurrency markets is quite high today, it is unfortunately not possible to carry out arbitrage transactions with a significant difference as before. In other words, trading with arbitrage in the cryptocurrency markets is still possible today but it doesn't have a serious earning potential and is quite difficult due to today's technology and the increasing number of cryptocurrency traders. I can easily say that it is a truly competitive.
Things are become harder than before and arbitrage opportunity is end. Manually process become automated by trading bots which are more faster. Popular altcoins won't allow you to doing arbitrage manually. Cause most of people always keep their eyes on for opportunity and bots are always ready to grab the chance. You can try with undervalued altcoins where you'll see price difference cause they have less volume means less people are trying to make profit from that altcoin. But it'll be risky too cause they can dump a lot
You are right, Arbitrage trading is not more profitable like it used to be that is why people are not doing Arbitrage like before.Many exchanges are having similar price range because almost all the exchanges are making sure their price in the market should look very close or similar so as to discourage or end Arbitrage trading.
To benefit from Arbitrage trading, you need a good capital, and you will always be ready to take the little profit.

Possible but it has always been a very difficult thing to do. Do not consider something as simple as move your money from btc to doge to eth to back to btc again and make profit, that is long gone and all the bots out there do that instantly if there is even a single cent that can be made from that.
But, turning btc into usdt, moving usdt into local exchange, turning that into local fiat, then turning that local fiat into btc? That may still be viable, not all the time of course because other people are chasing that as well. Like I said, possible to do this but it is also quite difficult, not only you will need to check it 24/7 to find something but you also need to realize the returns aren't great and you may risk some money and miss the possibility and make a loss.

Possible but Maybe not profitable like before. there are so many restrictions. Transactions fees are huge nowadays, but if you have a lot of money to cover transactions fee then maybe you can make profit from market. And as market is so volatile, so it is possible that your token takes alots of time to deposited in other exchange and price get down. Then you make lose. Manual process isn't worth now everything is technologcal advance and bot trading is ahead of taking advantage in this field
Manual process is still there and it's still being preferred by some users. I won't talk negative about it because if without it, we won't get where we are now. On the other hand, I think I already heard of arbitrage bots for use in trading. So, automizing it might be possible now. But as you said, it may only cost us more because for sure, bots like this are not free. The fees for some cryptos are also costly now and then they can now move slower, so going arbitrage on them might be less effective now. We can still try on other cryptos (preferably the new ones) since they are not that crowded yet. We must only be careful for a possible rug pull.

I've tried it but I don't feel like I have much benefit from that method. Unless we really have quite large capital. Because sometimes the price difference between Cex is not that big. Or sometimes it returns to the same price quickly. But this method is still possible. But it must be an altcoin that has fast transaction speeds. Because if we do this on an altcoin that has a very slow network confirmation speed then we will be late when sending it to another exchange. But for now I don't use that method. Because it's too risky. Because sometimes we experience losses when prices decline and we actually lose in transaction fees.Arbitrage trading is still possible in crypto trading but I don't know about the popularity, most traders that I know don't use the method, they'd prefer to do their trading in one exchange, because in using different exchange you'd have to be monitoring prices in them, in the end the difference might not be much, or within a short time price can stabilize. Moreover it might not be worth it without having enough capital, so it comes down to the choice of individual traders, the method that suits them best

Yes It is still possible but it is very risky and also very difficult nowadays. there are too many exchanges and also prices are well maintained and almost same everywhere. you'll hardley find any chance. You need to be super active in many exchanges, and watch multiple assets to find the right opportunity.
then doing KYC in so many exchanges ia nother problem. withdrawing and depositing take different times in different exchanges. you could miss a lot of chances because of that. and also you need a huge capital for that. I don't think it can be done with small investment. you would need around 1 BTC.

...I used an arbitrage bot a few years ago and it worked well, but unfortunately the trial for a few days was just a trial and then there was a fee that I needed to pay to enjoy the premium features.
Well, if the cost of the arbitrage bot is lower than the profit that you earned, then you can safely make such a purchase. After all, you write that you were satisfied with the arbitration bot, so why didn't you buy a premium subscription then? Or is the subscription price higher than the profit received?
I'm just a small trader and don't really focus on arbitrage. Tried several arbitrary trading bots and found a bot that gave a trial. To get a premium account it will cost around $50-$100. Returning capital or not also depends on what the crypto trend is at that time. but for now the benefits may be very slim.

Arbitration is possible almost everywhere where there is volatility and other exchanges. Crypto-aplut is no exception; there are very often different price tags on different exchanges, especially on new little-known exchanges; for some people this may even be the main mechanism of income ...I used an arbitrage bot a few years ago and it worked well, but unfortunately the trial for a few days was just a trial and then there was a fee that I needed to pay to enjoy the premium features.

This niche is occupied by bots, so if you are thinking of doing cryptocurrency arbitrage manually, then it will be difficult for you to compete with bots. But if you are able to create your own bot for arbitrage trading, you will be able to have a permanent guaranteed profit.
Bots master everything, they are faster and more efficient, especially now that bots are also added with AI, they are even smarter. Becoming your own artbitration bot developer might be more profitable, but it requires good programming skills to create your own bot.

for now it might be a bit difficult. especially for eth and bitcoin because in addition to the sending fee is large and expensive. also the transaction process is long.
The main and first aribitage requirement is that the transaction process or sending coins must be fast.
if it is not fast, the price of the coin when it is sent or has entered the destination exchanger is the same price. there is even a loss in the sending fee.

You can still find some good opportunities sometimes but generally they are limited, and they are on small cap cryptos, on small exchanges, with low liquidity. Exchanges and professional arbitrage traders usually use bots to track them and to instantly place orders when they spot them. On large markets and big exchanges too many people are following the price in real time to be able to find such opportunities.
