Arbitrage trading the safest and most profitable trading method in the current volatile market.
Arbitrage is a strategy that takes benefit of price differences in different market places for the same investment. For it to take the spot, there must be a position of at least two comparable assets with different prices. In essence, arbitrage is a situation in which a trader can profit from an imbalance in asset prices in different markets. The simplest form of arbitrage is to buy an asset in a market with a lower price and simultaneously sell an asset in a market with a higher price for the asset.
Arbitrage is a widely used trading system and is perhaps one of the oldest trading strategies in existence. Traders who engage in this strategy are known as arbitrageurs. This concept is closely related to the efficiency theory of markets. This theory states that for a market to be perfectly efficient, there must be no arbitrage opportunities - all comparable assets must converge on the same price. The convergence of prices in different markets is a measure of market efficiency.
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and arbitrage pricing theory explain that arbitrage opportunities arise due to the mispricing of assets. If that opportunity is sufficiently explored, the prices of comparable assets should converge.
