Hello,

I'm looking for some 2 platforms for arbitrage between quote differencies. I compared a couple platforms to oanda but unfortunately I don't see any quote differencies.

if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it!

In reality arbitrage in financial markets is almost impossible except for large financial institutions.

Yes, knowing where price is going would definitely be an advantage!

If you try to exploit latency you'll get kicked off or put on manual/delayed exection, no free lunch unfortunately, marketmakers ain't that stupid.

there are some good threads on this already here in the forum. They all have died. Any opportunity like that will be because of broker and technical issues and your account will get suspended for trying this.

It's like seeing the future... The bottom line is, if you are able to see better rates a split second before the broker, and he is willing to open your position, it is not cheating, especially since you don't have any controll over the market and it can reverse against you.
