About Arbitrage EAs
Arbitrage EAs look for price differences between brokers, between related pairs (triangular arbitrage) or between a CFD and its futures market. The gaps are tiny and short-lived, so the result depends on speed and costs more than on the code.
Many retail brokers ban latency arbitrage in their terms and can cancel the profits. Read your broker's terms before running one on a live account.
5 of these 23 EAs use grid or martingale logic and are marked High risk.
Before You Run One
- Check your broker's terms on arbitrage and high-frequency trading.
- Measure your real latency to the trade server (a VPS near it helps).
- Include commission and slippage in every test.
