User Interfaces.

In this article, we will look at the user interfaces for Currency Arbitrage in OsEngine. All the logic for finding profitable sequences is embedded in BotTabPolygon and is configured through visual interfaces.

Currency arbitrage in OsEngine only works in real environments.

The Tester with Optimizer is disabled for these types of strategies. The entire logic of currency arbitrage is built entirely on order books, and signals are quite rare. Testing execution is impossible because instant liquidity fluctuates significantly. Therefore, tests are only possible in real environments.
