# In a perfect market, you could buy 100 EUR worth of USD, sell 100 EUR worth of GBP,
|
|
# and then use the GBP to buy USD and wind up with the same amount in USD as you received when
|
|
# you bought them with EUR. This relationship is expressed by the Triangle Exchange Rate, which is

# Triangle Exchange Rate = (A/B) * (B/C) * (C/A)

# there is a mispricing in the market, then TER will not be 1 and there exists an arbitrage opportunity.
