Honestly speaking. Non of the MT4 brokers (with last look liquidity) behind them would allow you to do arbitrage if they specially find out that you been able to find a loop hole.

It depends from strategy.
if you open several trades during arbitrage situation and use aggressive money management, broker will add some delay to your account or block your account (depends from broker)
But if you keep profitability 30-40% per month, use arbitrage with another EAs, trade LP differences (not only quotes delay differences, caused by the broker setup problems) and use trailing stop (or lock orders) to keep order online as long as possible, your strategy looks like scalping strategy and a lot of brokers will be ok with it.

The issue with 1 leg arb is finding a broker firstly and then being able to last long enough to make a good profit.

For arbitrage trade, first and foremost thing is that the broker should be Pure ECN who provides pure ECN spreads and will be sending your trades directly to the Liquidity provider, there might be conflict of interest if broker does not seem to be Pure ECN.

If you tested some real accounts and you know that arbitrage is feasible with use of them, please provide broker name and account type(Market Maker, ECN, STP) Please, do not post that arbitrage is not possible etc... It would be good for readers if this thread contains only brokers/accounts appropriate for arbitrage trading. There are other good threads for discussion if arbitrage is doable or not. Thank you.

I run swap arbitrage with Hotforex and Tickmill on USDRUB. The only hiccup for using this method is high margin requirement for this pair and instability (volatility which can deplete one of your accounts quickly so you have to set reasonable lot size)

It is good and it supports fix api. It is possible now to open ctrader account with small deposit, request ctrader fix api directly from platform and trade with fok or ioc limit orders, instead of market orders, to prevent slippage. Only one problem: you need netted account and not all brokers provide netted (only hedge)
If somebody share good ctrader brokers with netted accounts, I'll provide several good mt4 brokers for arbitrage using bjf arbitrage soft.

It is when buy closes sell and sell closes buy. Usually they offers hedge accounts, but some brokers offers netted.
I know that fxpig,ICmarkets,tradeviewforex,Kawase offer netted ctrader accounts.

Yes, I checked those all out. I must be the only one who does not find a suitable broker. The quest goes on though. :-)

Do Retail brokers allow to arbitrage on their platform? Or we need to go somewhere else for freebie?

It is not so easy to find broker, but it is possible and when you find it your the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Wow, what is this!!!??? I WANT THIS TOOOOOO!!!

This is a broker that is 100% ECN. They claim tat they have developed a bridge between MT4 and multiple liquidity providers: https://www.jfdbrokers.com/

it is very important to use vps for hf trading. I tried several vps and results was totally different. You can have losses on demo as well if you use bad vps provider.
