Spotted an interesting arbitrage opportunity on IP across different DEX platforms. The spread looks pretty attractive at first glance, but you've got to factor in the liquidity and price gaps between venues—that's where it gets tricky. Running a position with around $450 in trading size to test it out. Long exposure on one DEX, short on another to hedge the directional risk. The delta strategy here depends heavily on whether those price discrepancies hold or compress. DEX arbitrage isn't always as clean as it looks on paper, especially when slippage and timing come into play.

Sounds good, but I think you need to be careful with slippage; that thing can be very destructive.

The theoretical profit differs too much from the actual slippage, so you still need to be cautious.

The paper gains look good, but in reality, slippage hits you hard. 450 bucks for testing the market was still too conservative.

Really, the spread looks good, but once you get in, you're repeatedly educated by slippage... Trying with $450 is also fine, just worried that the price difference might disappear before arbitrage can be executed.

It looks good, but once it comes to actual implementation, it fails. Slippage is always the killer.
