AWR83 @2007-05-27 09:56:52	Dear all, I would appreciate your cooperation in the following; I would like to know if there are shortcuts or hints to determine the amount of arbitrage to be obtained w/o the hassle of doing all the calculations of buying and converting, I know there's a formula for triangular arbitrage, but I am not sure how to apply either I think its [(amount x exch. rate1 x exch rate 2)/Quoted exch. rate]- amount. I would like to know if there are any similar formulas for Bilateral, or IRP, and if not how to determine the profit amount??? Cooperation highly appreciated

Cooperation highly appreciated

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
