arbitrages
Trades price differences
Arbitrages is the plural of arbitrage—the practice of exploiting price differences for the same asset in different markets.
A trader who arbitrages buys where something is cheap and sells where it's expensive, profiting from the gap.
The term extends beyond finance: She arbitrages her time between two part-time jobs to maximize earnings.
Someone who engages in this is an arbitrageur.
