Check withdraw limits. You might have $10k+ on an account like BTC-e and have to withdraw it over several days. If you keep arbitraging you will have more and more money in an exchange that is risky (BTC-e isn't trusted because it is written by one dude Bulgaria or something like that and the owner could just close up shop at anytime and you're fucked).

Also while all your transfers are clearing bitcoin could swing one way or the other totally screwing things up (coinbase takes several days to clear bitcoin buys (not sure about sells))
