Re: Forex Arbitrage

Arbitrage of this type at a single FX broker seems hopelessly unlikely. You have to beat the sum of 3 spreads. Interbank players have access to the prices on which the broker's prices are based at typically lower spreads and will have ensured they are in line already.

Given the broker's quotes do vary slightly, there seems more hope for interbroker arbitrage in the same market, but I doubt they will often differ enough to pay two spreads.
