Explanation:
<em>Arbitration</em> is a <em>financial strategy</em> that consists of the price difference between different markets on the same financial asset to obtain an economic benefit, usually without risk.
To perform arbitration, complementary operations (buy and sell) are carried out at the same time and wait for prices to adjust. The arbitration takes advantage of this divergence and obtains a risk-free gain. In other words, the arbitrajista is positioned short (sells) in the market with higher price and long (purchase) in the market with lower price. The benefit would come from the difference between the two markets.
