New york: GBP 1 = USD 1.5703 ~ 15 Middle price: 1.5709.
London: HKD 1 = GBP 0.080734-0.080744 Middle price: 0.080739.
Hong kong: us $65438 +0 = hk $ 7.7853~72; median price: 7.78625.
It is profitable if the exchange rate multiplication (consider using the middle price) is not equal to 1. 1 .5709 * 0.080739 * 7.78625 = 0.98755, which does not mean that1will make a profit, that is, there will be arbitrage opportunities.
2. Calculate arbitrage profit
Because the product of the three is less than 1, it is obviously a loss (that is, starting from the new york market), then starting from the London market, that is, converting 2 million pounds into Hong Kong dollars, then converting Hong Kong dollars into US dollars in the Hong Kong market ((2000000/0.080744)/7.7872), and then converting them into pounds in the new york market, minus 2000.
Namely: 2000000/(0.080744 * 7.7872 *1.5715)-2000000 = 24062.98.
Arbitrage profit 24062.98.
Note: The simple way to choose exchange rate during exchange is to multiply decimals and divide large ones.
