Some people still talk about manual arbitrage in the crypto world, but Tiger Trading CSO Alan Keegan isn’t buying it. Learn why and what conditions have to exist for manual Arbitrage to make a comeback in this video from Tiger Trading, the professional grade trading platform for digital assets.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So someone asked me if they can do arbitrage on our platform? And the answer is sort of, I guess.

00:09 CURRENT LIMITS OF CRYPTO ARBITRAGE (FOR NOW) There aren't really that many opportunities of free arbitrage that you can do manually in crypto anymore. Maybe I mean, you do see a cross order book a fair amount of time, maybe as we add more order books and get to lower liquidity exchanges and lower liquidity coins, there will be more stuff available that is small enough volume that big institutions, people who have you know, co-located things are not going to be competing with you. But mostly, it shouldn't be that big of an opportunity.

00:32 WHEN IS THERE ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY
This was less true in the past may become less true at certain moments when there's major market moves. Or, for example, in 2017, for a few weeks, there was at a time when there are a ton of new retail users coming on certain exchanges, particularly ones like Coinbase, there was a persistent arbitrage existing between different exchanges, because most of the money flowing into it was just people going on a particular exchange, buying some Bitcoin or buying some ether and then not doing anything with it not doing any price discovery, and there were far fewer people in the market actually closing those price dislocations.

1:00 GEOGRAPHIC ARBITRAGE AND FREE MONEY ON THE TABLE
Also, I mean, I don't know if this exists in some places, but there have been a lot of times their geographic arbitrage is where you needed a certain citizenship or a bank account a certain place tree on certain exchange, maybe in Korea, for example. And as long as you're willing to fly a USB drive from one place to the other and then fly a suitcase full of cash back, then you can close an arbitrage if you're willing to physically go do it. By and large, though there isn't that much free money on the table for retail traders arbitrage manually right now. Thank you for watching and have any questions left?
