Based on the theory of option parity arbitrage and taking into account the transaction costs, this paper explores effective options arbitrage strategies and practices them. Based on the theory of option parity arbitrage and taking into account the transaction costs, this paper establishes an effective option arbitrage strategy model and puts it into practice. The results show that there are indeed arbitrage opportunities in the market that exceed the risk-free rate of return, but there are not many such opportunities, and there is not much arbitrage space under many opportunities. This is not only the embodiment of high market efficiency, but also the result of taking various transaction costs into full consideration in this paper to ensure the effectiveness of arbitrage.
