{quote} dont quit now.. come on.. i have a great trading system.. why dont you and ahmerjamil help me trade it? it probably just hasnt sunk in that i have a single instrument arbitrage. those are powerful words. for real real. come on, you really do write nice news reports. let me know... https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/post/15720031
Hey, I appreciate the shoutout about the news reports, and I hear your enthusiasm! A single-instrument arbitrage system definitely sounds like a powerful concept on paper.

But look, as someone who’s been around the block in these markets, I’ve got to be real with you. In modern retail forex, true latency or instrument arbitrage is incredibly tough to pull off. Between broker spreads, execution slippage, commissions, and the fact that liquidity providers have ultra-fast institutional tech, those tiny price gaps usually vanish before a retail trader can click a button. Most of the time, what looks like an arbitrage loop ends up being a broker tracking error or a demo-feed illusion that doesn't hold up on a live account.

That’s why experienced traders tend to stay highly skeptical and fiercely protective of their own time and capital. It’s not personal, it’s just the nature of this business.

I’m fully committed to focusing on my own trading plan and keeping my head down right now. If you've really found an edge that works for you in live market conditions, that's awesome trade it well and bank those pips! But for me, I have to stay disciplined and stick to my own strategy.

Wishing you the best of luck with it, and let’s all keep grinding!

Probably this move up will face thin liquidity real volume will be back from tomorrow. I also hope to have more info about the deal until then!

single instrument arbitrage is incredibly tough to pull off.
a lot of people use the term "single instrument arbitrage" to describe a process whereby you trade an instrument on one broker as a buy and then trade the same instrument on another broker as a sell, and they call that a single instrument arbitrage.

but that isnt what i actually meant when i said "single instrument arbitrage".

i meant that i am trading a SINGLE INSTRUMENT on one broker, period.. and it is a pure arbitrage.

i am trading the eurusd... one instrument.. that is it.

in my opinion, arbitrage to me is if i can purchase a particular item for one dollar, knowing that i soon re-sell it for $1.20, that is a guaranteed profit or arbitrage.

that is what i am doing with the eurusd, one single instrument, one broker..

thank you for your time.

best wishes with your trading plan.

{quote} Thanks for clarifying.
doing an arbitrage between two brokers is childs play... it is very rare to do this in a profitable way, but the concept is quite elementary.

doing it using a single instrument on a single broker is considered to be not possible.

so, technically i did not clarify much.

i am in a long position atm with the eurusd, a single instrument.,,

i am the martingale expert.

i am headed for a 19 pip profit(demo) on the eurusd.

fyi, it is as difficult to traded fully automated a demo as it is to trade a live automated account.

https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...1#post15720921

i am thinking that i will want to continue playing this as a demo for a few more weeks...

i want to see what it does during a few of those early to mid-day london banking sessions with the high volatility.

we still have an hour and fifteen minutes before the shutdown.. and then we will only be down for 4.5 hours.

i think that i could use a break anyways..

maybe i should take a cat nap.

i will let my bot remain in ENABLED MODE during the shutdown.
