I am ever reading about arbitrage trading strategy, which take benefit from different price on one goods on different place, this is profitable strategy maybe but still don't know how to use arbitrage on forex seems this is complicated formula
I call that a spread trade. There is still risk involved, spreads are not range bound here some spread info http://bit.ly/1eJFJV6
Lol...thats pure retail snake oil. The author doesn't seem to understand, that his CL example is just a calendar spread, so these are in reality two different assets. There is no arb, just betting on mean reversion of a spread...and on spreads this narrow it's all algos. Good luck trying to execute by hand
Thanks for your answer, 2rosy. I don't know what that spreadsheet means though. Do you think a spread strategy as mentioned in the article could still work?
I agree with the other posters. Arbitrage is not a word to be abused lightly. What the article describes is emphatically not arbitrage. It's idiotic to describe it as such.
I wonder if that author has actually ever traded a calander spread....arrr, I mean, arb'd crude oil...
Might I add that the whole "wise old Master" and "young Apprentice" schtick is really really annoying, especially when the "Master" spouts utter bullsh1t.
