Thread: eur/usd arbitrage broker?

I understand one broker which offers 0.9 pips spread between eur/usd.

Another broker offers 2 pips spread between eur/usd.

Could I buy eur/usd from initial broker and then sell same eur/usd into the next broker?

I believe you are somewhat confused about 'arbitrage'.

Say, Broker A quotes 30/31 (1 pip spread) and broker B 29.5/31.5 (2 pip spread).

So that you buy at 31 from Broker A and market at 29.5 at broker B. Congratulations, you simply locked in a 1.5 pip loss. That is, on either leg without slippage. There is not any arb because of wider spreads.

Right Shrike.

Okay.. .the right name of the thread should be 'broker arbitrage'
