Trading in the stock market is a thing, but doing it in the crypto market is almost exclusively for professionals (and many people keep ignoring this) and takes years and years of hard study to make it work properly without liquidating your savings.

But I was wondering if any of you tried arbitrage on the crypto market (I'm choosing this option because it is relatively less risky than normal trading, basically the main effort is to find those pricing errors and "exploit" them without incurring in a front-run).

Do you have any experience with this method, which software/programs do you use and what tutorials do you follow to learn it?
Without a doubt you are going to need a piece of software to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities as it is impossible to take advantage of them otherwise, however do you have the capital to pull this off? Arbitrage trading can be profitable but since the profit of each trade is low and you need to have several accounts in different exchanges then the amount of money needed to become profitable is incredibly high, so unless you can fulfill this requirement then you should forget about it for the time being.

This is true. Because if you only have small funds in arbitrage trading, I don't think it is worth your dong this tedious activity for small to no profit. Better hold and wait for the coin to increase its value. But if you have lots of spare time, and good skills, why not? But later on, you will realize, you are spending a lot of time for small profits.
