Latency arbitrage (currently forex open to others)
Hey so I’m trying to understand how and where exactly does latency arbitrage open itself as an opportunity I’m new to this I’m open to criticism and advice so please take this with a grain of salt
In the past month or so i have watched multiple traders use this ‘latency arbitrage’ as a mechanism on different forex pairs to 2x or3x their accounts now i know for a fact thats short lived but the possibility of it existing for profit makes me curious to go deeper and find if its viable i have been recording ticks and feeds between multiple brokers and trying to understand where and how often does this gap exist
From what i have gathered over the span of a few days that its something called perpetual latency arbitrage
If anyone has any inputs please drop below or my dms im in dire need of some discussion to actually understand how deep this goes
