This is majorly known as "arbitraging" in the common stock market language. Can you please post a picture of your flow chart here in the thread instead of providing the link? I am very serious about my computer's security and hence I don't usually use outside link from my browser. If you post it here, it will be more convenient for us to know more about your thinking. I arbitrate a lot of time, but I mostly use ETH for that which offers near instant transfers.  Bitcoin's confirmation time and higher fees are not anymore profitable for arbitraging unless you are betting a big amount.

That's also called "arbitrage". The issue with your strategy is the the prices may never reverse because there might be static underlying reasons for the price difference.

Although I am not familiar with JS, I more or less agrre with odolvlobo. There can be strong fundamental reasons why the price difference remains unchanged. Especially if we talk about cryptocurrency exchanges, some of them suffer from very low liquidity which often induces a premium over the price at more liquid exchange. You might wait very long period of time to catch the reversal because it would happen rather by accident.

Hedge strategy is more stable and less risk strategy. A kinds of market neutral strategy.The main logic is very simple, It`s just buying at an exchange with low price, And selling at another exchange with high price. Then , waiting the price reversal about the two exchanges. So you can used the strategy to circular hedge. The premise is to get enough difference price about two exchanges.

I drew a flow chart about the hedge strategy:
