- sloppy order processing
- technical instability
- cost of trading (prices + commissions)

First of all, thank you for the time you took to share this great idea. It might be viable. But before testing it, I have a question:
what is the position of brokers regarding this practice of arbitrage? I tried searching through the service agreement, and I found that they forbid "market timing practices". Problem is, their description of "market timing practices" is so vague that it could be anything.
So is there anyone who knows brokers positions about this?
Thank you,
Raphael

The brokers' attitude towards FPI is irrelevant as no retail broker has the technical capacity to even let you run it effectively

Okay, but let's say it can "work". Is it a problem for brokers? I'm asking you this because I think this can work, but not with market inefficiency, but rather broker inefficiency. I found that some brokers have FPI variations of several hours of length and of great amplitude. And before investigating further in this, I would like the opinion of someone who really knows the field of forex trading.
And by the way, I wonder, if it was a problem, why? Why a honest broker would have problem with arbitrage, since they shouldn't loose anything?
