Arbitrage

In shortProfiting from the price difference of the same asset on two markets by buying low on one and selling high on the other.

Arbitrage bots keep prices across exchanges in line. Real opportunities are tiny and quickly taken; platforms that promise you "risk-free arbitrage profits" are often Ponzi schemes.
