This video will teach you all about cross exchange rates and triangular arbitrage. Cross exchange rates refer to the exchange rates between two currencies traded on different exchanges. Triangular arbitrage is a trading strategy that takes advantage of these cross exchange rate differences by converting one currency to another, and then converting it back to the original currency in order to profit from the difference. The video will explain the concept of cross exchange rates, how triangular arbitrage works and how it can be used to make a profit in the currency market.

In Triangular Arbitrage - I guess you are using the Bid and Ask rate in a wrong manner. Kindly check through it. You are using Bid instead of Ask and vice versa. Thank me later.
