#ArbitrageTradingStrategy | Win with differences, not with guesses. 🔄📊
The arbitrage strategy is based on taking advantage of the price difference of the same asset between two or more markets.
In crypto, this tactic has gained prominence due to the fragmentation and speed of the market.

🧠 How does it work?
1. Buy cheap on one exchange (e.g., Binance, KuCoin)
2. Sell for a higher price on another (e.g., Coinbase, OKX)
3. The difference – minus fees – is your profit
Example:
$BTC is priced at $64,200 on Exchange A
But it's worth $64,500 on Exchange B
→ You can generate $300 per unit (minus fees)
