The Forex Arbitrage Calculator identifies zero-risk arbitrage opportunities for forex cross rates.
For example, if a trader has accounts with forex brokers in New York, Tokyo, and London, they can take advantage of local quotes that are determined by local players. In this case, there are sometimes arbitrage opportunities among different locations.
The Forex Arbitrage Calculator uses real rates such as gbp/usd 1.6388 1.6393 (NY), eur/usd 1.1832 1.1837 (Tokyo), and the cross rate eur/gbp is 0.7231 0.7236 (London) to identify potential arbitrage opportunities.
With this software, traders can easily identify a risk-free arbitrage opportunity with an estimated profit equal to $13.1 on a mini contract. This is achieved by buying 100,000 EUR for $118,370 (10 mini lots or a one standard lot), and selling 100,000 EUR for 72,310 GBP. Finally, selling 72,310 GBP for $118,501 gives zero exposures in EUR and GBP with a profit of $131.
It is important to note that such arbitrage is possible if the trader's positions are netting (clearing) by some "clearing house". With the Forex Arbitrage Calculator, traders can easily identify and take advantage of these opportunities, thus enhancing their trading profits.
