I think the creator uses Latency Arbitrage also called 1-Leg Arbitrage which uses a faster price feed as a signal to take advantage of a slower price feed.

Disliked{quote} depends from broker. If broker has anti-arbitrage plug-in based on fast feed as well, I think it is only one way to do arbitrage - Locking Arbitrage. You can find the article about anti-arbitrage plugin on iticsoftware blog. I do not remember the link. But I think if you use small diff to open and higher diff to close - it should work good. It is also good idea to trade fix api account vs MT4.Ignored
DislikedSpeaking from a software developer's perspective, arbitrage must be very easy to defeat. I gather that brokers use software solutions to detect and defeat arbitrage trading in live accounts. Maybe some very special non-retail traders are allowed to employ arbitrage with extremely fast and sophisticated systems. Arb appears next to impossible for us retail traders, at least for any extended period of time.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Dear fteller, I am tested locking software, and just about to proceed to live. All the demo operation turned out to be like magic, too good to be true. (all recommended fast VPS and fast/slow broker and my VPS located in same location) but I do not expect live trade is not easy as Demo accounts.. Then found the most difficult part is finding right broker and how to make my account's life longer. I trust you have lots of experience and knowledge, and wondering you could share your knowledge. 1. Slow broker,, we needs 2 accounts, do they have...Ignored
Disliked{quote} If it would work, why is there no offer like: "Buy our software and pay after you gained the price" If BJF Trading Group would thrust their own product, they would be able to sell it like that. If it is safe that you can gain what you must pay for the software why pay before earning? I dont remember if I wrote it somewhere above - I bought their software and tested endless days and weeks and months. I did not succeed in the end. And if you ask them for help e.g. brokers you could trade on, you only get the answer that successful traders...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Dear JT4xPro Thanks for your advise. Then if you know anybody who offers "Buy our software and pay after you gained the price" can you please share with us? That would be fantastic. But I am interested in the mechanic of latency arbitrage anyway.Ignored
DislikedOn the contrary JT4xPro. Arbitrage trading goes beyond API on your pc. There is a special config that boycots your brokers trading server and feeder. I have been doing research on it now for 3 years and have come up with how best it can work. your pc must be ordered and configured here; http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&fb=1&l=en&model_id=precision-t7910-workstation&oc=cup7910w7p&s=bsd&vw=classic...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hey Kanoko, I dont know anybody who offers EAs to buy and pay later. If you want to trade arbitrage you need to move to stock market to real exchanges like Xetra or NYSE or other marketplaces were your trades are filled against a real counterpart. There it is a common and appreciated technique to buy at exchange A for a lower price than you can sell at exchange B within the same moment. Arbitrageurs on stock markets supply markets with big amounts of liquidity. But it will be hard to succeed at that level. You will face professional market...Ignored
DislikedSomeone using the BJF system to share experience? Am I less than 30 days with the three systems listed below? Forex Latency Arbitarge - Demo account (Working well) Forex Locking Arbitarge - Real Account (Working well mt4 / mt4) 2 Legs Hedging Arbitarge - Real account (I did not find a good mt4 / mt4 setting - one account is in profit to another only at a loss).Ignored
DislikedAnswering your question: I do not have any partnership / representation or commercialize BJF systems I am only consumer of their products which for me has worked well in the initial period of tests (with the BJF system). You should review your ARB system concepts because it is fully regulated in the US and some European countries, it is just a strategy where you take market returns on a monthly basis with ARB systems. The system can be great, the setup winning, the strategy good, but if we have a "shit dealer" behind the screen, the market becomes...Ignored

Disliked{quote} you buy garbage software! dont fall for their demo wins or little account wins or fake wins. you did not read this thread before or other in the internet? and winning with this software would even the easy part, selling this money out from the broker (the broker has this loss same time because of your trading style) is much more complicated. why do you think this software is sold? because you can make so easy so many win with it? then this company would trade this programm day in / day out and would not sell it to have many many competitors,...Ignored
DislikedArbitrage is awesome thing when you have few factors: 1. Dumb dealer who is not checking the time of trade open and close/ arbitrage is done in less then a second some times 2. Broker who is technologically in 80s I made nice cash doing arbitrage between 4 brokers in the golden age of forex 2008-2012, but thing is brokers became streetwise....so YES u will see price difference of 2-5 pips some times between brokers but in reality you will get slippage on execution for the same amount of pips. SInce brokers claim that they are ecn bla bla but in...Ignored
