Is there an arbitrage opportunity across markets? 🧵 Keep reading— Logical Analysis If two markets with different timeframes: • Use the same data source • Employ similar settlement time windows • And prices align at key nodes —then structural mispricing is theoretically possible. But the real questions are: 1️⃣ To which block is settlement precisely anchored? 2️⃣ Are the time windows perfectly synchronized? 3️⃣ Are there differences in rounding rules? 4️⃣ Is market liquidity sufficient to enable arbitrage? The prerequisite for cross-market arbitrage is not “prices look the same,” but rather: identical rules + sufficiently low execution costs. Arbitrage opportunities typically exist only during: • Periods of incomplete rule understanding • Or before market participants become crowded Once the structure is understood, the advantage begins to disappear. Do you think this is coincidence… or a structural flaw? 👀
