    EURUSD is the most actively traded pair in forex so has the tightest spreads.
    I would imagine the others would be similar but not as tight of a correlation but also difficult to capture the spread due to wider spreads on forex.

    If I were to try to arb something, I would look at bitcoin.
    The prices are quite different between the brokers at times.
    Also, compare bitcoin futures to the bitcoin brokers.

    GBPUSD & 6B are similar.

    Yes, at times the correlation is off, BUT it's during news events or at the 5 PM roll every day. The problem is the spreads are wide so trying to take advantage of the difference would be difficult because you'll have a problem getting filled at the price you need.
