Have your ever heard about latency arbitrage?

Hey josef,
The truth of the matter is that latency arbitrage is almost impossible these days. And even if it is, such flows are highly unwelcomed by the LPs and they have developed a variety of tools to discourage such activities: from terminating accounts to refusing paying off accumulated profits to arbitrageurs. This is one of the reasons why arbitrageurs are constantly switching brokers.
Just browse the web for similar cases, it is full of them.

For my opinion yes. and locking arbitrage is the best product for arbitrage trading now. You need really fast vps in LD4 -LD5 if your broker in London and you can make 30-40% monthly with low risk. it is almost impossible to determine arb, trading. I use with true ecn brokers - no problem.

any forex strategy is not risk free. But locking arbitrage is almost 0 risk trading.

It reads like that:

what is your execution time? Do you use Locking arbitrage? what kind of vps do you use. You need vps for HFT
I do not recommend you to share brokers names :-)

real acc only.
mt4 and fix api for locking and 2legs arbitrage
2-legs mt4 vs fix api
locking mt4 vs mt4 fix api vs fx api works good as well but you need brokers with depo 10k+

On non hft vps results should be not so good, but positive as well.

Yes, it is clear that you need a very powerful VPS
I've got 2% approximately of profitability in two days.

I used Beeks for a few months, no HFT setup, but it did no work at all. Completely random. Next I will use Boris' recommendation. Seems to be the one Fiure employs.

Is it possible to take advantage of latency (or any price difference) between spot and futures?

Yes. You only need to use offset between quotes.

10-15% per week good and possible goal. If you use locking arbitrage, it should be profitable for long time.
