Hey guys,
lately I get more and more interested in arbitrage opportunities in the crypto space and what algorithms and bots might potentially be able to do there.
Things I think can hardly be argued are: Aswell as arbitrage might be rather unrisky, you also need enormous sums to be profitable deducting fees,
also with other assets high frequency trading is a huge plus, but even coins with super fast confirmation times like nano do not qualify for this.
Of course the last problem could be workedaround by having liquidy on many exchanges and then simultaneously selling and buying.
I would say, that it is pretty hard to calculate which trade is really profitable manually and also that an individual investor can hardly employ captial in an amount needed to really succeed in arbitrage,
or is here a trader making consinstet low risk profit with that? Anyway, I would also assume that arbitrage would be perfect for trading with algorithmy as they should be able to calculate in microseconds which trade is really profitable after deducting trading and transfer fees and also execude the trades automatically. Building on that assumption I started to reaserch projects promising that.
Here I want to share what I found and am keen on getting your ideas, inspirations and ideas!

As promising and professional as it looked, following bitcointalk thread destroyed it totally in my opinion, as they even seemed to fake pictures in London:

This also looked not too shady for me, I just disliked the idea that I had to buy kind of "shares"of their bot to participate, also the roi seems super high with 0.5-1 % daily!
Further reaserch brought me to blogs like the following how also have torn it pretty much to pieces, as they seemingly faked comercial certificates and tried to hide their location:

Is a platform not offering automated trading, but swt (single window trading), they promise to give you an oppurtunity to trade on different exchanges manually just on their platform,
not a bad idea, but it was not so interesting for me, that I would have looked further into it. Has anybody made experiences with them?

Is a fund that looks kind of legit, at least it it was a scam it is super elaborate, one team member Christopher Jones even has yt videos of concerts with his violin quartet.
On the other hand since a few days the site looks odd, might be just a problem with their front end and they have a ridicoulus minimal investment for retail investors, like most funds....

Pretty cool tool to show arbitrage opportunities on different exchanges, but in my opinion too much work and not profitable enough.
- I also found some other sites and services, but the only one with no tremendous investment sum requirred, or my mails unanswered for ever, or looking super scammy was Arbidex:

Well, to be honest, I also would not invest my life savings there, but the concept looked rather serious and even browsing the web for hours, I could not find a post/thread claming they would be a scam.
For me until now everything worked, also the return of 2-7% a month might be douable but is still attractive.
But I have to say that the withdrawal periods and moving coins into the auto arbitrage takes very long. They say 48 hours, but one time it have been more like 6 days,
but after sending 2-3 mails to support, everything worked. Has anyone else experience with them or has info to support their legitness?
I would love to hear your opinions on the services or if you even know better ones that seem to be legit or even have your own arbitrage bot or earn money with manual arbitrage.
Good trades and investments everyone!
