Step 1
You spot a price gap
Using your own tools, research or market data you notice that the same asset trades at different prices on two venues.

How cross-exchange arbitrage works
Markets are not perfect. Liquidity, time zones, local supply and demand, the speed at which data updates — all of it creates brief price gaps between venues. Those gaps are exactly what arbitrage margin comes from.
Exchange 1 → Exchange 2 · Δ 20 ₽
Exchange 1−80 ₽buy on the cheaper venue
trade margin+20 ₽+20 ₽ two venues in one trade+3 ₽ the same trade on a single venue
Exchange 2+100 ₽sell on the pricier one
Step 2
You check the net margin
You account for exchange fees, spreads and conversion costs. If the gap covers every cost, the trade makes sense.
Step 3
You get access at ADF Capital
You trade on company funds: a single account, venues and reporting in your dashboard.
Step 4
You execute two opposite trades
You buy the asset on the cheaper venue and sell it on the more expensive one at the same time.
Step 5
You lock in the result
The price difference net of fees is your financial result. Everything is shown in a transparent report in your dashboard.
Why arbitrage
1
A delta-neutral strategy
No need to guess whether an asset will rise or fall. You earn on the price difference, not on the move.
Market directiondoes not matter
2
Every position is hedged
You are the buyer and the seller of the same asset at once. Market risk is kept to a minimum compared with traditional speculation.

3
Opportunities every day
The more venues and instruments you can reach, the more often gaps appear — dozens of situations every day.

4
Built to scale
The strategy is not tied to one instrument: currency pairs, commodities, equities, bonds, futures. You diversify the trades themselves, not just the portfolio.

5
Fewer emotions
You do not hold a position for weeks, wait for a trend reversal or argue with the market. A short trade cycle means less psychological pressure.
