In a nutshell, this is the emergence of situations when the same pair of cryptocurrencies on different exchanges is bought and sold at different prices. If, conditionally, Bitcoin (BTC) on exchange A is traded at 45,000 USDT, and on exchange B – at 44,000 USDT, then by buying 1BTC on exchange B and selling 1BTC on exchange A, the trader will always remain in the black, namely, he will earn 1000 USDT.

It’s easier to understand how to make money on arbitrage using an example. Let's take the USDT/LTC pair. Let’s agree that the LTC rate is approximately equal to 100USDT.

Deposit on exchanges A and B: 1000 USDT and 10LTC. Total starting capital: 20 LTC + 2000 USDT.

Next, you track the difference in rates on exchanges A and B. At some point, the rate on exchange A becomes 101 USDT per LTC. And on exchange B - 99 USDT. At this moment, if possible simultaneously, buy 10 LTC at 99 on exchange B (purchase amount - 990 USD) and sell LTC at 101 (receiving 1010 USDT).

Total, after these two transactions, you have on exchange A: 20 LTC + 10USDT, and on exchange B: 0 LTC+2010 USDT.

To balance the “shoulders”, you need to make a transfer from exchange A to exchange B litecoins, and in the opposite direction USDT. Once you do this, it will cost you about $2 in commission.

As a result, you have in your accounts: 20 LTC + 2008 USDT. You earned 8 USDT, which is approximately 0.2%. We must remember that arbitrage happens with a profitability of a few percent. Let's say 3% is not uncommon. And this, with the same starting amount, is already 15 times more. That is, after one cycle the income can be 120 USDT!

One cycle, taking into account transaction time, can take 15 minutes. Doing 10 cycles during the day is not a problem at all. Further mathematics is clear.

Exchange rates are volatile. That is, they change all the time. Therefore, it is better to place limit orders, slightly losing arbitrage profitability, but “fixing” the required amount.

Different exchanges have their own limits on input and output during the day. Usually they are large, but it is better to find out in advance so as not to be stuck with one shoulder overweight and the other empty.

When you bet large amounts (equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars) to buy or sell, you may encounter the fact that your limit will not be bought back (or sold) at the price you need. Take this into account when calculating your arbitrage amount. Or start with small amounts.

The same warning applies to low-liquid cryptocurrencies. If you trade pairs from the top ten by capitalization, then most likely there will be no problems. And if you work with rare crypto coins, it’s worth checking trading volumes. This, again, will prevent one of the arbitration arms from sagging.
