ArbFin Method
Realising the costs, risks, legal limitations and time restrictions of using the old school method, ArbFin set about finding a methodology that would eliminate all the downside.
The ArbFin method leverages off 2 Exchange accounts, and utilizing the supply and demand changes that occur at Luno over time, for profit – without the hassle of constantly moving money, and risking BTC movements.
Bitcoin Arbitrage
Bitcoin Arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of price differences between markets. These price differences emerge because certain exchanges are more liquid than others. Bigger exchanges with more trading will ‘drive’ the price of the rest of the market.
Smaller exchanges follow the price of larger ones, with a small lag. That small lag is what makes arbitrage possible..

Why Does an Arbitrage Occur at the LUNO exchange ?
When reviewing the Bitcoin price, it is important to remember that there’s no standard or global Bitcoin price. Bitcoin isn’t pegged in any way to the USD or to any other currency, country or any exchange.
Supply and Demand
Bitcoin exchanges are places where people who have Bitcoin (supply) can sell it to those who want it (demand). This also means that if you have two exchanges —Exchange A and Exchange B— that both support USD and BTC, it doesn’t mean that the price of Bitcoin will be the same on both of them. The price will simply be whatever supply and demand dictates.
If an exchange sees more people selling than they are buying, the price is likely to drop, as supply outweighs demand. The same goes for more people buying on that particular exchange, should demand outweigh supply, the price will go up.
Small Exchange Lag
Smaller exchanges follow the price of larger ones, with a small lag. That small lag helps make arbitrage possible.
The Risks Of A Traditional Bitcoin Arbitrage
The primary risk in using this method to capitalise on a pricing difference at 2 different exchanges is the risk of the BTC price moving down whilst the BTC is in transit from the exchange where you purchased BTC to the exchange where you intend selling BTC for a small profit.
With volatility and rapid price movements of the past, this risk is a fairly substantial . The price moving upwards will obviously yield a better return.
Prices have the tendency to take the stairs up and elevator down.
The Costs
The cost of performing this arbitrage are fairly hefty and include:
1. A 5% exchange charge for using your card
2. An unfavourable exchange rate
3. A fee for transferring your currency into BTC
4. A Blockchain fee for transferring BTC to the exchange on which you plan to sell
5. A receiving fee for receiving BTC at receiving exchange
6. A fee for exchanging BTC to local currency
7. A withdrawal fee
By the time you are finished with the fees, the margin remaining might not be worth the risk and effort.
Time Taken
The process can take a minimum of 2 days, more likely 3 – 4 days. This leaves you with the opportunity of only being able to trade 10 x per month.
The Legalities
The money leaving your credit card will have to form part of your discretionary allowance.(South Africa)
What is a single discretionary allowance?
It is an allowance within an overall limit of R1 million per calendar year which a South African resident over the age of 18 years may avail of. This then limits you to, assuming you can do 10x trades per month, R 8333 per trade.
Availability
Currently the data supports the South African Luno and Binance

Used the Ratio advice and tool from ArbFin and comfortably make 3-6% per day. Have alerts set for my buy and sell regions against the luno vs Bittrex ratio, works like a charm.
