    What's the fuck? It's is crazy.
     
  3. It seems to be just a simple gaming of multiple dealers. Ie d1 quotes 49/50 and d2 quotes 51/52 you can arb it. Unfortunately modern financial theory claims that arbitrage does not exist. Eg the only return you can get if you do not want to take on risk is the risk free rate.

    Cheers.

    No no no no no... modern finance theory assumes arbitrage doesn't exist to get to its results. Because when arbs exist, it's just free money, and it'll be arbed away. It's great for those doing the arb, it's somewhat beside the point for modern finance theory, which is concerned about very different things.

    The OP's video, of course, is a complete scam.

    Um.... no. in the very very unlikely scenario that you are not a shill, the dude is lying to you. spot fx is one of the deepest and most liquid markets in the world. There's perhaps some chance that a stupid, incompetent retail broker somewhere misquoted and allowed an arb to exist, but that won't exist for very long and certainly won't get you 9% (wtf? why is it in a percentage anyway? it's scalable?) a day without risk.

    Zero chance. Zero.

    And no, you can't easily arb the difference between the spot and futures price. The gap reflects forward rate differences between the two currency. Arbing all four elements is a classic pricing relationship called covered interest rate arb. It won't exist often and even when it does, it takes a while for it work out. Not 9% a day.

    How about arbing different dealers? Tons of those assclowns in 3rd world. The prices are never the same. Seem like easy arb
     
  9. Sounds too easy...
     
  10. You can see in the video that the account on top is a demo account. Compte, in French means account.
