This is a detailed summary of a common cryptocurrency arbitrage strategy known as Hedge Arbitrage (对冲套利).

It's a useful post for people interested in low-risk trading strategies in the crypto space.

Here is a breakdown of the key points you've provided, structured for clarity:

💰 Crypto Hedge Arbitrage (对冲套利) Explained

Hedge arbitrage aims to profit from the differential movement between two highly correlated crypto assets, rather than betting on the overall market direction.

4 Essential Requirements for Hedge Arbitrage

1. Opposite Direction (方向相反): Simultaneously open a long position on one asset and a short position on the other.

2. Equal Value (两边价值相等): The positions must be of the same notional value (e.g., $1000 USDT on both sides).

3. Simultaneous Execution (同时开平仓): Open and close both positions at the exact same time to capture the precise price difference.

4. High Correlation (大体走势一致): The two chosen assets (the 'hedging pair' or '套利组') must typically move together (co-movement), but with different magnitudes.

🎯 The Profit Principle (盈利原理)

The strategy relies on the fact that while the two assets are highly correlated (they both generally go up or down), their percentage movements (幅度) differ.

• Example:

• Action: Long 100 \text{U} of ETH and Short 100 \text{U} of SOL.

• Result (After 1 hour): ETH goes up 5\%, SOL goes up 3\%.

• Outcome: The ETH Long position makes 5\%, and the SOL Short position loses 3\% (since SOL went up).

• Net Profit: 5\% - 3\% = \mathbf{2\%} (The profit is the spread/difference in magnitude).

✅ 6 Key Advantages (优点)

1. Low Liquidation Risk (基本不会爆仓): Because you have equal, opposite positions, large market movements are mostly canceled out, significantly reducing the risk of margin calls or liquidation.

2. Sufficient Reaction Time (足够的时间给你操作): Even in extreme market conditions, the hedging effect (one side profits, the other loses) gives the trader time to adjust or close positions.

3. Stable Psychology (心态情绪稳定): The risk is low and stability is high. Gains and losses are typically gradual and small, preventing emotional, impulsive trading (avoiding "上头").

4. Lower Transaction Fees (降低手续费): Since the strategy involves fewer stop-losses compared to directional trading, and positions are often held longer, the total number of trades can be lower, potentially reducing overall trading fees.

5. Easy Drawdown Control (非常好控制回撤): As long as the price spread remains stable and the assets maintain their co-movement, drawdowns are predictable and manageable.

6. Simpler Directional Judgment (方向变得更好的判断): You don't need to predict the entire market's direction (e.g., will BTC go up or down?); you only need to predict the relative strength or weakness (强弱) of the two assets in your chosen pair.
