Recently, there have been voices saying that arbitrage trading opportunities have reappeared. Tonight, I tried a cross-term arbitrage trade and clearly felt the change. The execution speed was much faster, and the trends of the index and mainstream exchanges were completely synchronized, with no strange price fluctuations. The FIFO mechanism of the order book also made the trading process very transparent.

More importantly, the combination of cross-margin and multi-currency collateral is very user-friendly—no need to repeatedly switch between multiple accounts, and you can directly adjust your position size flexibly. In this trading environment, some strategies that were previously difficult to execute are now feasible. The market has given arbitrageurs new opportunities.

Arbitrage is active again, and the transaction speed is really satisfying. The cross-margin feature is really convenient, finally no need to open ten accounts haha

Faster speeds are indeed a signal, but have those "strange fluctuations" disappeared? smh Sounds like it's about to be cut again.

Is there another chance for arbitrage? I tried last week, and the transaction speed was indeed much faster, but it wasn't as smooth as you said. Using cross-margin is great, but I'm just worried that risk management might not keep up. FIFO transparency is a good thing, but talking about synchronized movement is just talk; it's a miracle if the market cooperates like that. I'm actually interested in multi-currency collateral, saving the hassle of transferring between accounts, and it could really be more flexible. By the way, the arbitrage window can disappear in the blink of an eye, so while it's a good opportunity now, we should still be cautious.
