Arbitrage Trading Strategy!!!!#ArbitrageTradingStrategy

💡 What is Arbitrage Trading?

Arbitrage involves buying an asset at a lower price in one market and selling it at a higher price in another, locking in a risk-free or low-risk profit.

🔁 Types of Arbitrage Strategies

1. 🔄 Spatial Arbitrage (Exchange Arbitrage)

Buy BTC on Exchange A at ₹60,000

Sell BTC on Exchange B at ₹60,500

Profit = ₹500 per BTC (minus fees)

Requires fast execution and good capital

💡 Platforms: Binance, Coinbase, WazirX, KuCoin, CoinDCX

2. ⛓️ Triangular Arbitrage

Involves three currency pairs on a single exchange.

Example (within Binance):

Trade 1: Convert USDT → ETH

Trade 2: ETH → BTC

Trade 3: BTC → USDT

> If USDT value increases after 3 trades → Arbitrage profit

3. 📉 Statistical Arbitrage (Mean Reversion)

Uses mathematical models

Identify two highly correlated assets (e.g., BTC and ETH)

When the spread between them widens → take positions expecting reversion

4. 🧮 Futures-Cash Arbitrage (Crypto/Stock)

Buy spot BTC

Short BTC perpetual futures (if futures are trading at premium)

You earn the difference when futures price converges with spot

This is also called "Cash-and-Carry Arbitrage"

🛠️ How to Execute Arbitrage Strategy (Basic Flow):

🔍 Step 1: Identify Arbitrage Opportunity

Use real-time price trackers or arbitrage bots
