# 4.3. Stage 1: Arbitrage Pairs Trading After realizing the challenges with low volumes on exchanges and unexpected costs through slippage, Future Gold Arbitrage found a solution that enables investors of any kind to participate in arbitrage trading: by pooling our resources and sharing arbitrage opportunities with each other, everyone makes more profit on average (no more “the winner takes it all”). There are many arbitrage opportunities, but not with high volume. Therefore, Future Gold Arbitrage is aggregating the investments and the algorithm is splitting it in appropriate sizes to benefit with lower volumes on more frequent trades. Effectively, this leads to higher profits. An example can be seen in Abstract 3\. Arbitrage Trading. This system will go live for the community as soon as enough liquidity and the appropriate network infrastructure are in place. This can be ensured when the required starting capital of 20,000,000 USD has been raised in our ICO. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
