[list=1][*]The broker's prices are refreshed immediately before sent from the slave to the master. By the time the prices are decided on for a trade, about 3 + 2 * # of brokers miliseconds have passed. By the time it's displayed on the chart, it's closer to 11 + 7 * # of brokers miliseconds. The prices are fresh, and there is a significantly small window before they are refreshed.[*]I short the broker with the high bid, and long the broker with the low ask. Close the trades when the resulting spread (short broker's ask and long broker's bid)...

I have been waiting to see if this has produced any decent results before looking at it more closely myself - yours and my approach is comparable - i am just not sure the retail arb opportunities exist and whether any income from it is sustainable/drawable. The fact that the opportunities are likely to be a MISfunction of the broker rather than the market make is sooooo eas for brokers to pull any winnings back from you

LMAX might be an exception - they allow passive orders so you can try to "make the arb" happen

BTW you could reduce brokerage/transfer costs by setting up a hedged position between the brokers and closing it when it enters profitability (meaning the direction you desire) - the most you can lose is that you transfer the equity in the opposite direction

This post is part b** - it was based on my looking at a thread posting nearly a year old and hence it out of "context"

sorry

{quote} I dont think it will be possible to have arbs with the major currency pairs... most probably most arbs are not with the top 8 (e.g USD, EUR GBP AUD CHF etc...)...
Check free AOFeed in aonet.eu You will see a lot of arbitrage opportunities each day. (EURUSD, GBPUSD)

...I feel very depressed for the live testing result. Anyone has new idea on how to deal with the slippage?
1) use fast, dedicated server in Equinix data center(London LD4 , LD5 or New York) in conjunction with brokers who have their trading servers located in the same data center.
2) you need accounts where "Last Look" is not used.
3) software must be fast ~0-1ms reaction.
4) also try brokers who allow arbitrage ( http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...59#post8283459 )
5) generally Market Makers are easier for arbitrage
6) don't trade during high impact news(NFP, Rates statements)

You can only limit slippage, not fully eliminate.

Additionally: it is easier to withdraw money using specially created, trustworthy, true ECN broker account. You don't need to withdraw money from broker that you use for arbitrage! When you gained profits on some account then you can open two opposite orders(same volume) manually: 1st position on account with profits(arbitrage account) and the 2nd position on special ECN account(withdrawal account). You do it to lose profits on profitable arbitrage account but they just go to your ECN account, which will easily let you withdraw your gains.

Interesting thread, especially now that I developed my own fast broker arb EAs with two-way interprocess communication and NOT reliant on the OnTick function, which is far too slow for detecting and reacting to arb opportunities.

Many say it can't be done successfully, and if somehow you are successful with it, the brokers will cripple your trading. Fair enough, noted.

I'm interested in your arb EA development. Could you please share your thoughts about?

Thanks

Everything one needs to know to find successful trading can be gleaned from a forum like this, youtube videos, other web sites, and years of trying many different things that work some of the time but not all of the time. Think, try, think think think, try try try, think and try some more. Then take a five-year break and think and try some more. Then all will become clear.

Oh yeah, you're going to want to learn how to develop software quite well.

Peace, out.
Open to new approaches.

I'm sure you've heard of Jason Fielder's $2,000 arbitrage product. So I figured I'd release my own script as seen in this video: http://www.RonaldRaygunForex.com/Arbitrage/ In order to download it, I need you to read through the terms and disclaimers on my website here: http://ronaldraygunforex.com/Arbitrage/download.html I apologize for making you do this, but I need to make sure my back is covered in order to prevent more lawsuits. Update: As of build 409, Metatrader has slowed down certain processes to the point where arbitrage...
