DEX arbitrage means:

• Buying a token cheaper on one DEX
• Selling it higher on another DEX
• Keeping the price difference as profit

Example:
Token A = $100 on Uniswap
Token A = $102 on SushiSwap
You buy on Uniswap → sell on SushiSwap → $2 profit (minus gas fees)

⚡ Simple Ways to Do It (Beginner to Advanced)

1️⃣ Manual Arbitrage (Low Capital Method)

Best for: Small traders starting with $200–$1,000

How:

1. Use price trackers like:
   • Dexscreener
   • Dextools
2. Compare the same token across:
   • PancakeSwap
   • Uniswap
   • QuickSwap
3. Calculate:
   • Gas fees
   • Slippage
   • Bridge cost (if cross-chain)

⚠️ Risk:
Most price gaps close in seconds.
Manual works better on:

• New tokens
• Low-liquidity pools
• Meme coins (high risk)

2️⃣ Same-Chain Arbitrage (Safer & Faster)

Best chains:

• BNB Chain (low gas)
• Polygon (cheap fees)

Example:
Buy on PancakeSwap → Sell on another BNB DEX.
Why?
Ethereum gas fees can wipe profit instantly.
