💱 #ArbitrageTradingStrategy – Risk-Free Profit from Price Gaps
Arbitrage trading is a strategy where traders exploit price differences of the same asset on different exchanges to make a profit with low or no risk.
🔍 What is Arbitrage?
Let’s say:
BTC price on Binance = $29,900
BTC price on KuCoin = $30,100
You buy BTC on Binance, transfer it to KuCoin, and sell it for a profit.
🧠 Types of Arbitrage Strategies
✅ 1. Spatial Arbitrage (Exchange Arbitrage)
Buy low on one exchange, sell high on another
Works best for high-volume coins with low fees
✅ 2. Triangular Arbitrage
Exploit price inefficiencies between three pairs on the same exchange
Example:
BTC/USDT → ETH/BTC → ETH/USDT$BTC
If conversion path yields more than original, profit is made
✅ 3. Statistical Arbitrage
Use algorithms to detect historical mean reversion between correlated pairs
✅ 4. DeFi Arbitrage
Use price gaps between DEXs like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, etc.
Often done using bots (flash loans, MEV)
