Forex Arbitrage is an arbitrage among real rates and synthetic cross rates in different local markets.
A one possible way to realize this strategy is to find three brokers having the same clearing firm. Then you should make agreement with this clearing firm on "netting" services. It means that clearing firm will clear (net) your positions across three pairs at specified time using the opening rates. For example, in the example above suppose you had opened the following positions long 100,000 EUR/USD; short 100,000 EUR/GBP; and short 72,310 GBP/USD at 10:00AM and instructed the clearing firm to clear these position at 16:00 PM at the opening rates. The netting/clearing gives the following results: Long EUR from the first pair and short EUR from the second pair gives zero exposure in EUR. Long position in GDP from the second pair and short position from the third pair gives zero exposure in GBP. Short position from the first pair ($118,370) in USD and long position from the third pair ($118,501) in USD gives you $131 profit without open positions and exposures.
The second possible way is to use some agreements (options or swap) to guaranty clearing/netting at these specific rates, which give risk-free arbitrage profit.
I use Forex arbitrage calculator for this. and my target depend from day to day. sometimes we get many opportunities while sometime very less. Also i prefer currency trading and futures as they are more rewarding that arbitrage

Yeah this is why I just bought a Forex trading system and let it do the work for me, hah.
What you do (and what I did) is make sure the trading system has a 60 day money back guarantee first; then make sure you can use a demo account. A demo account let's you play the trading game with "play money" so you can see if you can profit from the trading system without investing your real cash.
Use the demo account for 59 days and if you see you can make profit you keep the system and invest your real cash. If there's no profit to be made you get a refund and try another system; there's literally no risk when buying one.
