What is Arbitrage Trading?

Arbitrage is an investment strategy in which an investor simultaneously buys and sells an asset in different markets to take advantage of a price difference and generate a profit. While price differences are typically small and short-lived, the returns can be impressive when multiplied by a large volume.
 
Arbitrage is trading that exploits the tiny differences in price between identical assets in two or more markets. The arbitrage trader buys the asset in one market and sells it in the other market at the same time in order to pocket the difference between the two prices.
 
Arbitrageurs, as arbitrage traders are called, are usually working on behalf of large financial institutions. It usually involves trading a substantial amount of money, and the split-second opportunities it offers can be identified and acted upon only with highly sophisticated software.

Derivatives Arbitrage

Derivatives Arbitrage is the condition under which two equivalent assets or derivatives or combination of assets and derivatives sell for different prices. 
 
This allows an arbitrageur to buy at a low price and sell at a high price, and earn a risk-free profit from this transaction without committing any capital.
 
In well-functioning markets, arbitrage opportunities ae quickly exploited. The combined actions of arbitrageurs force the prices of similar securities to converge. Hence, arbitrage leads to the law of one price: securities or derivatives that produce equivalent results must sell for equivalent prices.

 

Crypto Arbitrage

Cryptocurrency arbitrage is a strategy in which investors buy a cryptocurrency on one exchange, and then quickly sell it on another exchange for a higher price.
 
Cryptocurrencies trade on hundreds of different exchanges, and often the price of a coin or token may differ on one exchange versus another. That’s where the strategy of arbitrage comes in: Similar to using arbitrage in capital markets, crypto arbitrage is a legal way to earn a potential profit when an asset is selling cheaper in one market and at a higher price in another.

 

Commodity Arbitrage

In general, commodities need storage space and transportation to make them available across the world. Also, they are traded in different forms across the markets. Many times there is a difference in the price of a commodity in spot and futures markets and also across exchanges.
 
This difference in price creates an arbitrage opportunity wherein the commodities can be purchased and sold in different markets at different rates, to generate returns for the investor with minimum or no-risk. The individual who identifies the arbitrage opportunity across markets and is involved in commodity trading is called a commodity arbitrageur.
