Where are you transferring from one exchange to another for the arbitrage?

Hi!

I had a question around the place_buy_sell_order() function. (Great code btw!). In order to profit from the arbitrage, where are you performing the transfer from one to the other. It seems like you are just placing a buy order on exchange1 and a sell order on exchange2. Does ccxt handle that behind the scenes? I'm just trying to understand where the profit is made because from reading it, it seems like this code does not actually make profit.

Thanks!

Currently, I have commented on the buying and selling functions because it comes with a risk and I don't want to enable them by default.

ccxt does allow for placing orders, you can read more about it here: https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/wiki/Manual#market-orders.
