Arbitrage : Exploitez les écarts de prix entre les plateformes

Q: Do arbitrage EAs really work on MT5?

The latency-arb variants 'work' until the broker's forensics run — then trades are voided under the terms you agreed to, profits are clawed back, and the account is closed. The window where retail feed-lag arb was genuinely capturable closed over a decade ago. What remains is a product category that monetises hope.

Q: Why do brokers ban latency arbitrage?

Because it exploits stale quotes on their pricing engine rather than any market inefficiency — economically equivalent to trading on tomorrow's newspaper. Every mainstream broker's terms prohibit it explicitly, and modern bridge providers flag the trade pattern automatically.

Q: What about triangular arbitrage — the textbook kind?

Real, and really gone at retail. The EURUSD×USDJPY×EURJPY triangle is monitored by machines with microsecond latency; by the time an MT5 EA sees the mispricing through retail spreads, it prices negative. Textbook examples use frictionless assumptions your broker does not offer.

Q: Is statistical arbitrage the same thing?

No — and the naming matters. Stat-arb / pairs trading holds correlated instruments against each other and profits when the spread mean-reverts. It is a legitimate strategy with genuine drawdowns (correlations break), and honest vendors market it as mean reversion, not as risk-free arbitrage.

Q: Can arbitrage EAs pass prop firm challenges?

Prop firms treat latency/demo-feed arbitrage as fraud: detection is part of standard payout forensics, hits void the account, and repeat patterns get identity-banned across firms. The 'guaranteed challenge pass' EAs sold on this premise take your fee for an account you will never collect from.

Q: How do I recognise an arbitrage scam EA?

The tells: 'risk-free' anywhere in the copy, win rates above 95%, demo-only track records, required 'special broker' referrals (the seller earns the IB commission), and refusal to show a 12-month verified live account at a mainstream broker. Any two of those — walk away.

Q: Does crypto arbitrage work better than forex?

Cross-exchange crypto spreads are real but consumed by transfer time, withdrawal fees, exchange counterparty risk and stablecoin friction. The profitable version is a funded, engineered market-making operation — the same institutional story, younger asset class.

Q: If arbitrage is dead for retail, what is the alternative?

Strategy edges that survive honest execution: session behaviour, trend persistence, post-event momentum, volatility structure. They carry visible drawdowns — which is precisely why they still pay. Our entire catalogue is built on that premise; nothing we ship is named or marketed as arbitrage.

L'arbitrage exploite les divergences de prix entre instruments liés ou plateformes. L'arbitrage de latence requiert infrastructure institutionnelle ; l'arbitrage statistique nécessite modélisation rigoureuse. Les EAs 'arbitrage' retail arbitrent rarement vraiment.

Infrastructure researchers studying market microstructure academically.
Institutional-budget operators with co-location and prime-broker relationships — who are not shopping for MT5 EAs.

sections.notForWhom

Retail traders on MT4/MT5 broker accounts — every accessible 'arb' variant is either dead, banned, or a trap.
Prop firm participants: latency-arb detection is standard forensics and voids payouts.
Anyone promised 'risk-free' returns by a marketplace EA — risk-free and retail do not co-exist.

Quand cela fonctionne

Infrastructure institutionnelle (co-location, direct feeds).
Capital élevé pour rendements significatifs sur petits spreads.
Corrélation entre jambes stable et modélisable mathématiquement.

Quand cela échoue

Retail forex arbitrage is a graveyard with good marketing. True arbitrage — simultaneous risk-free capture of a price discrepancy — exists at institutional latency and capital, behind co-location fees and prime-broker agreements, and is competed down to microseconds. What marketplaces sell retail under the word is either latency abuse of a slow broker feed (banned, clawed back, account closed), a martingale wearing a lab coat, or statistical pairs-trading mislabelled as risk-free. FxRobotEasy ships no arbitrage products and does not describe any of its mechanics with that word — our systems earn from strategy edges that survive honest execution, which is the only kind of edge a retail account can keep. If an EA promises risk-free returns, the risk it removed from the chart has been moved to your payout.
