Arbitrage Trading
It's basically buying a security in one market and simultaneously selling it in another market at a higher price, profiting from the temporary difference in prices.
We use two approaches in Arbitrage Trading:
— Arbitrage of a spread between two different trading platforms / markets.
— Arbitrage of the spread between different types of contracts within the same exchange / trading platform.
Both approaches are market neutral strategies, this is considered risk-free profit for the investor/trader.
