user67860: Has anyone ever tried this? I've read up on the difficulties of doing it manually, but some of the spreads I've seen are insane. I think it would be worth a try but I don't know where to start.

user73963: imo i have started a week ago and did some testing on various platforms. my issue is im using cryptopia as a base of info and i noticed i see some incredible deals available but by the time i send btc to for example then buy said coin cheap, then send to cryptopia? forget it. takes hours and hours to even show up as a deposit then depends which coin becuse as ive learned some have to wait for 200 confirmations and that in most cases is 12 hours min. so instead of making 500 dollars i lost money because price hit bottom.
I wish there was an easier way to do arbitrage. seems to me cryptopia is either seeing super long periods of confirmations or some sort of manipulations.

user68176: Yes and still at it full time. I have created a monitor that calculates the spread in % between several exchanges. Sometimes we see 25% spread! Those are the moments and getting fiat back from one exchange to another is bottleneck.
