    Forex Arbitrage is an arbitrage among real rates and synthetic cross rates in different local markets.

    A one possible way to realize this strategy is to find three brokers having the same clearing firm. Then you should make agreement with this clearing firm on “netting” services. It means that clearing firm will clear (net) your positions across three pairs at specified time using the opening rates. For example, in the example above suppose you had opened the following positions long 100,000 EUR/USD; short 100,000 EUR/GBP; and short 72,310 GBP/USD at 10:00AM and instructed the clearing firm to clear these position at 16:00 PM at the opening rates. The netting/clearing gives the following results: Long EUR from the first pair and short EUR from the second pair gives zero exposure in EUR. Long position in GDP from the second pair and short position from the third pair gives zero exposure in GBP. Short position from the first pair ($118,370) in USD and long position from the third pair ($118,501) in USD gives you $131 profit without open positions and exposures.

    The second possible way is to use some agreements (options or swap) to guaranty clearing/netting at these specific rates, which give risk-free arbitrage profit.

    I use Forex arbitrage calculator for this. and my target depend from day to day. sometimes we get many opportunities while sometime very less. Also i prefer currency trading and futures as they are more rewarding that arbitrage

    There are programs that do this. However, there is a very low profit margin and commissions will eat up more than you make unless you have a very low commission rate. Usually only brokerage houses can do this arbitrage as they have the lowest commission rates because they act as their own brokers.

    Sports arbitrage can work, if you put the effort into it, and if you can find the right (meaning trustworthy) sites to place your bets. This can be difficult, some online sports books are not always reliable. If you can place the wagers in person, and find two different lines for the bet, it will succeed.

    Do people really earn 5% daily? I don’t know about that, but last year it worked out quite well in American NCAA football.

    I handicap American Football, and provide a lot of information for picking winners, and I have a pretty good track record. Each week, I provide an Outlaw Line, and provide ATS (against the spread) and SU (straight up) picks for all NFL games, and the picks are ranked by probability.
    After the fifth week, I also provide Totals (over/under) picks.

    I also pick every college (NCAA) game each week ATS and SU.

    My site and my picks lend themselves to arbitrage betting you may want to check out how it works.

    The picks are absolutely free.

    Good luck this season.

    Triangular arbitrage today is often done by computer programs by the big players, so I really don’t think there’s going to be much opportunity in it. Plus, you have to think there’s going to be a transaction cost each time, which will really eat up your profits unless you’re doing serious $ trading. If you are set on doing currency trading, you can try http://www.forex.com

    Is there an automated Forex trading program that automatically executes arbitrage opportunities?
    I am picturing a “set it and forget it” program that constantly calculates the value of complex currency cycles and automatically executes an arbitrage trade when one becomes available. I understand the window of opportunity on such trades would be very short, is it even possible?
