    If you're talking about triangle arbitrage, fat chance! No way no how a retail trader working manually is ever gonna make that happen.

    Sig hello!
    Whoa, whoa. Slow down, you just established we don't even know if we're talking about the same thing.
    I can guarantee you, what I am thinking in my head has and can be done. I left out a lot of information, I'm not giving anyone a free ride of my expense and time.
    Have a good day.

    If there's a risk free arbitrage opportunity, even less than a percent, you'd be a billionaire by now and certainly not here. And someone far more sophisticated than you would have found and exploited it away long before you did. Likely the word "arbitrage" doesn't mean what you think it means.

    One way I can think of is using currency options but they have very low volume comparatively speaking. And you can only use currency futures option which is totally different asset class from Spot.

    lol, your statement is filled with many contradiction. Try opening your mind, your refusal to accept something you don't understand as being impossible is probably going to be your down fall.
    First, you have no idea how sophisticated I am or am not. Second, at any given time something can be discovered and if you think everything on earth has been discovered in trading, you are incredibly incorrect.

    Sig, how much money have you lost this week? How much can you afford to lose again and again.

    Found a hedge arb trade, Selling Aud/usd and Usdchf. One might want to wait for spreads to narrow in about 30 to 40 minutes.
    Just as an experiment and example, we'll use average prices. 0.7873 and 0.9448

    Your level of sophistication, or lack thereof, is abundantly clear from your posts. There are lots of things I don't know I don't know. The presence of risk free arbitrage opportunities in retail forex that you alone in your brilliance and vast experience discovered isn't one of them.
