RE: How do you make money with arbitrage?

in LeoFinancelast year

Great info on arbitrage and I remember doing it a few years back. I wonder if today are still arbitrage opportunities considering the technological evolvement and minimizing the price gaps between platforms. Can you give an example of an arbitrage opportunity you've seen lately?

This is what I also wanted to ask... trading and withdrawl fees may get in the way...no?

Yes. While centralized exchanges charge small fees, they do add up, and so you must calculate whet they are, and if bridges are involved, calculate that too. There are sometimes arbitrage opportunities across bridges between ecosystems. Tricky but not as tricky as SBF buying Bitcoin in the US and selling it in Japan. LOL!

You make a good point.
I think the opportunities are fewer, and the spreads smaller, and they are short lived. But I still see arbitrage opportunities between wleo and leo periodically. It is tricky due to ETh fees on WLEO side, but with large increments of 1000 you can sometimes make 30%. But if the brideg fails your SOL.
