    Arbitrage involves buying an asset in one market and selling it in another market at a higher price to profit from short-term price differences. It is a risk-free way to profit for traders. People who engage in arbitrage are called arbitrageurs. One key aspect is that the same number of assets must be bought and sold, with only the price difference generating profit. Market inefficiencies provide opportunities for arbitrage profits as identical assets may trade at different prices on different platforms momentarily. For example, an item bought for $30 at auction could be resold online for $300, yielding a $270 profit after fees. Arbitrage occurs across various financial instruments and markets worldwide.

    ARBITRAGE

    Definition

    Arbitrage is buying and selling of an asset from different platforms. It is purchasing a good in one market
    and then selling it in another at a higher price. It is a risk-free profit for the trader or stockholder.

    People involving in arbitrage are called arbitrageurs. This term can be seen in financial implements such
    as bonds, stocks, commodities, currencies, etc. One main important thing while getting into arbitrage
    trade is that the number of assets bought and sold should be the same; only the price difference is taken
    as the remaining payback from the business.

    It is a known fact that markets are not perfectly efficient. The price differences between identical
    financial forums result in commonly observed inefficiencies, and the exploitation of these inefficiencies
    helps build this trade known as arbitrage. The market fluctuations and imbalances are the roots of this
    trade. Any intelligent person who keeps the right eye in the matter will immediately observe the rise
    and downfall of the market prices, and hence making use of this imbalance will make vast sums of
    profits in no time.

    The example of vintage clothing can be an excellent way to understand arbitrage. An ordinary handbag
    of old clothes may cost $30 at an auction. But, at boutiques that sell vintage clothes or online shopping
    stores, brand conscious customers might pay $300 for the same clothes. An intelligent buyer can spend
    $30 at auction and sell it online for ten times the original cost.
    This example shows a marginal profit of almost 250$, even if we take the shipping costs and
    transactional fees into account. Arbitrage is a potent market instrument that is used everywhere, from
    minor household sales to international marketing. This marketing tool is practiced worldwide, no matter
    which sphere of economy you take into consideration.
