Request : Triangular Arbitrage Explanation

Has anyone seen an opportunity?

Has anyone done triangular arbitrage?

How long did those prices stay in the environment for arbitrage to occur?

What are the currencies most likely to be in this situation?

Any way to spot it easily?

Re: Request : Triangular Arbitrage Explanation

When I first learned about triangle arbing I immediately went lookiing for it to occur. I never did through "oculuar analysis" but I suppose it may be possible to uncover these brief events through the use of a program interface (API).

Even so, since this form of arbing is fairly well known now I'd say that forex brokers have mechanisms in place to prevent this from happening often enough to affect their bottom line.

Maybe back in the day these opportunities came up more frequently and stayed around a few minutes. I'm sure those days are gone now.

Re: Request : Triangular Arbitrage Explanation

Thanks for your input, I heard they are rare, fleeting, and etc.

I suppose theres no reason to even truly look for them anymore unless someone can make a claim that they see certain situations which are exploitable.
