Pulse Handbook
How we trade arbs, written down.
This started as notes for the people in our chat. It’s the same guide every new member gets on day one: what an arb actually is, how to read the scanner, how each of the 14 venues works, and the mistakes that cost us money, so they cost you less.

From chapter 1
The whole idea fits in six lines.
Two venues, two prices, $100 on each side. Whoever wins, you are $10 up. Everything else in this handbook is about doing that quickly and without mistakes.
Venue 1 A wins 2.10 stake $100 Venue 2 B wins 2.10 stake $100 ────────────────────────────────────── A wins → 100 × 2.10 = $210 +$10 B wins → 100 × 2.10 = $210 +$10 nobody cares who wins
