Cross-Exchange Arbitrage Trading with Argo HFT
Are you in the process of building a cross-exchange arbitrage algorithmic strategy? Argo Trading Platform and High-Frequency Framework is here to help!
Prices for relative financial instruments are closely correlated across world exchanges.
Correlation is an important tool for traders engaged in cross-exchange trading, it helps to expose arbitrage opportunities. Gold future contracts is a good example. Gold is the same precious metal throughout the world, and gold prices in different countries have historically stayed closely correlated over time, hence its attraction as an arbitrage instrument. The price movements of CME COMEX (USA), SHFE (China) and TOCOM (Japan) gold futures have exhibited correlations in excess of 0.8 for the most of 2017 and 2018 years. The gold futures contracts have attracted decent volume, and the fact that COMEX gold futures are highly liquid during Asia hours has made arbitrage trading between gold futures listed on COMEX, SHFE, and TOCOM especially popular.
