Anyone into Bitcoin Arbitrage?

Cex has now disabled new user registrations. Any alternative someone can point me in the direction of?
 
How long does it take to transfer from another exchange's wallet to Luno? The price moves around so fast at times that if it takes longer than 10 minutes to transfer and sell then you're essentially day trading instead of doing arbitrage.
 
How does SARB keep track of the R1 Million discretionary allowance cap per year? And how is the profit taxed once a deposit is made back into a SA bank account?

This is what I'm interested in.

When ever you send money outside the country you sign a disclaimer saying you know about the limit. Your bank can probably provide you with your statement, which they in turn provide to SARB.

Also trying to find out what’s the process regarding profits. Albeit because they aren’t coming back the same way, guessing the extra money “might” be coming back as income VS profit but I’ll let you guys get a tax guy and let us know.

@Cius maybe you can help?

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
 
I did the arbitrage using Luno and Lykke. I then approached the R1 million cap imposed by the SARB & SARS. I asked for permission from SARS to exceed it, and I was denied.

did they give you any reason for denying it?
 
Anyone manage to get a foreign tax clearance for this.Already reached my 1 mill cap:(

How are you still able to arbitrage? Local exchanges seems pretty close to international exchanges at the moment. In terms of crypto value.

Kraken to altcoin. Have a script setup that monitors and notifies when over 6%.

Been doing good for two - three weeks, but reached my cap now.

How are you buying on Kraken? Do they accept cards, or have you set up an offshore account?
 
Used FNB for forex transfers SWIFT. You'll have to declare the transfer and the profits will fall under your income tax. Best to declare all of it.
Sometimes there is opportunity to move from SA exchange in crypto to Kraken. You can then just move in a different crypto back to SA to profit. These are rare but to come up like a day or two in the week. The altcointrader volumes does not always work nice for this, but sometimes you get lucky.

Does both altcoin and kraken have API's so that your script can monitor both sides?
 
Yes both have API's.
Altcoin's is very easy to work with. You still have to go and verify the volume on altcoin manually. But at least it indicates which currency to look at and when.

I'll setup a git with some code over the weekend if you're interested.
