Most exchanges that we can use in the uk are way over priced. Does anyone take advantage and use arbitrage or is it not worth the hassles registering, verifying, working out costs, doing the transactions, transferring wallet to wallet all for a couple of £.

Arbitrage is quite risky. It takes time to transfer fiat and bitcoin into different exchanges. The time will cost money.

it must be done with a bot not manually, and fiat should already be there, when you see that you ran out of fiat you do another transfer the same day, not waiting for it to go to zero

Exactly. They have large amount of capital and are running bot for arbitrage without time gap due to all of trading funds being ready in the exchanges. For the individual, we cannot profit it at all.

You have to trust the exchanges a lot to have many fiat /bitcoin in there. I only do short term trading in exchanges, so when I finish trading, I will withdraw my money.

if in the future they can guarantee an insucrance for your funds like coinbase, it can be done more comfortably, your money would e safe and leaving fiat there would only increment your profit

actually i believe that leaving fiat, already, in any exchange is more safe then leaving bitcoin, because the hacker can not simply transfer it to an address, he need a bank account etc....
