Frequently Asked Questions
Spot arbitrage is a trading strategy that profits from price differences of the same asset across different exchanges. You buy on the exchange with the lower price and sell on the exchange with the higher price, pocketing the difference as profit.
Speed is crucial in spot arbitrage. Price differences can disappear within seconds. Traders typically use automated systems or have funds pre-positioned on multiple exchanges to execute trades quickly.
Main costs include: trading fees on both exchanges (typically 0.1-0.2% each), withdrawal/transfer fees, network gas fees for crypto transfers, and potential slippage if executing large orders.
No, spot arbitrage carries risks including: price movement during transfer time, exchange withdrawal delays or suspensions, insufficient liquidity to fill orders at expected prices, and counterparty/exchange risk.
You need a spread that exceeds your total costs (typically 0.3-0.5% minimum). With trading fees of 0.1% on each side, transfer fees, and potential slippage, spreads below 0.3% often result in losses.
