Arbitrage involves exploiting price differences in the market for risk-free profit. Arbitrage software automates the process of detecting price gaps, but opportunities are short-lived due to the large number of investors seeking them. The software works with various assets, but commissions can absorb profits. Sports arbitrage is often a game of chance and some providers offering sports arbitrage software are unreliable.
In an arbitrage, an investor enters into a series of trades to take advantage of price differences in the market for risk-free profit. A large number of investors look for arbitrage opportunities and carry out arbitrages, so price differences generally last for a very short time. An investor needs to spot price differences and trade quickly to conduct a successful arbitrage. Arbitrage software automates the process of detecting price gaps, allowing the investor to quickly take advantage of discrepancies.
An arbitrage opportunity exists when there are two assets with identical cash flows but different market prices. An investor can buy the cheapest asset and sell it at the most expensive price. As investors take advantage of price differences, the price of the cheapest asset increases and the price of the most expensive asset decreases, so that the prices eventually converge and there is no more opportunity for arbitrage. Many investors actively seek arbitrage opportunities because they are risk free, so this price correction takes little time. An investor has to spot the price difference quickly and make the transactions simultaneously to carry out an arbitrage.
Arbitrage software often displays the asset mix for arbitrage within seconds after price differences arise. With the large number of investors using arbitrage software, this ability results in arbitrage opportunities that only persist for a few seconds at a time. The market prices of the assets are corrected and the price differences disappear.
An arbitrage often involves a very small difference in price, so the commissions could absorb all the profits and wipe out the benefits of the arbitrage. Arbitrage software often has smaller commissions because the investor does much of the trading himself. Therefore, the use of such software increases the percentage of winnings from arbitrations.
Arbitrage software can work with various types of assets, including stocks, derivatives like options and futures, and foreign currencies. It often uses sounds and visual alerts to inform an investor when there is an arbitrage opportunity. If the assets involved trade in different currencies, arbitrage software can often convert them into one currency for easier analysis.
Some providers offer sports arbitrage software, but unlike arbitrages with other assets, sports arbitrage is often a game of chance. It involves taking the best odds available on sporting events so that regardless of the outcome, the investor makes a profit. Many of these schemes never generate the high returns promised and some of those companies simply disappear after charging various fees.
