Arbitrage is low-risk but not zero-risk. Learn the 7 key risks and how to mitigate each one to protect your trading capital.
Prices change while you execute. Mitigation: use fast exchanges, pre-fund both sides, execute simultaneously.
Networks go down for maintenance. Mitigation: always check network status on iSetMonitoring before trading.
Large orders move the price. Mitigation: check order book depth, split large orders.
Hidden fees eat profits. Mitigation: always calculate net spread (after all fees, gas, withdrawal costs).
Exchange hack or insolvency. Mitigation: don't keep large balances on any single exchange.
Bridge exploit or delay. Mitigation: use only battle-tested bridges (Stargate, official L2 bridges).
KYC issues, account freezes. Mitigation: use KYC-verified accounts, stay under suspicious activity thresholds.
