What is arbitrage?
Arbitrage is the process of buying a financial asset (such as a digital currency, stock, or commodity) from one market at a low price and immediately selling it in another market at a higher price. This transaction is executed very quickly to profit from the price difference before it evaporates.

Types of arbitrage:
1. Simple arbitrage:
Buying the asset from platform A at a lower price and selling it on platform B at a higher price.
2. Triangular arbitrage:
Take place between three different digital currencies on the same platform. For example: converting Bitcoin to Ethereum, then to USDT, and then back to Bitcoin to profit from the difference.
3. Statistical Arbitrage:
Relies on mathematical and statistical models to identify arbitrage opportunities between correlated assets.
4. Time Arbitrage:
Exploiting time differences in asset pricing between markets operating in different time zones.
Practical example:
Let's say the price of Bitcoin on Binance is $30,000, while on Kraken it is $30,200.
The trader buys 1 Bitcoin on Binance and sells it on Kraken, making a profit of $200.
