Arbitrage

Two prices, one asset,
one bridge between them.

Arbitrage means spotting the same asset priced differently in two markets and trading the gap. Learn how it works before you try it.

How it works

How arbitrage works.

01

Spot a price difference

Find the same asset trading at a lower price in one market than in another.

02

Buy in the cheaper market

Take the position where the asset is priced lower.

03

Sell in the dearer market

Close it where the asset is priced higher, as close to simultaneously as you can.

04

The gap is the aim

The difference between the two prices is what arbitrage targets. It carries execution risk, and gaps can close before you complete both sides.

An example

Gold in two cities.

Gold trades at 2,648.30 in New York and 2,651.10 in London. Buying in New York and selling in London aims to capture the 2.80 difference per ounce.

Illustrative example only. Not an offer or a promise of profit.

It shows up across currencies, stocks, commodities and other instruments.

Done well, it nudges prices back into line between markets.

It carries real risk. Gaps can close mid trade, and costs can erase a thin margin.

Arbitrage and leveraged trading carry significant risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. Returns are never guaranteed and price gaps can close before a trade completes.
