Exchange Arbitrage only occurs when there is an opportunity to have two different prices on two exchanges. This can be very difficult in a highly volatile market and can be difficult to execute due to various factors such as withdrawal transaction times and volatility. For this demonstration, I will be making use of The Okex exchange and Huobi exchange.

The price of TRX/USDT on Huobi exchange is 0.096461 and will be selling the TRX on Okex at the price of 0.10100

To illustrate this;

Buy price of TRX on Huobi Exchange - 0.096461
Sell price of TRX on Okex Exchange – 0.10100

Bought 220.02 TRX on Huobi at an avg price of 0.095443
The cost of purchasing the TRX = 220.02 x 0.095443 = 21 USDT
After the trading fee of 0.44 TRX was charged, 219.58 TRX was left.

After that, the next was to withdraw the TRX directly to Okex exchange. Withdrawal fee of 1TRX was charged and 218.58 TRX was sent to Okex exchange.

I placed a Sell trade 218.58 TRX of at price 0.10100

218.58 x 0.10100 = 22.07658
Approx 22.077 USDT

The profit is 22.077 USDT – 21 USDT = 1.077
The profit value is 1.077 USDT

Gone are the days when this arbitrage paid a lot. Now it's yielding little to nothing, which is why I no longer show interest in it. Instead, I prefer to employ different tactics I observe on exchanges like bitget, such as dual investment, where it buys low and sells to maintain my profit intact.
