Trading Strategies

Algorithmic Strategies Built
for Prediction & Betting Markets

Every strategy is custom-built with rigorous probability modelling, backtested on historical market data, and deployed with full bankroll and risk controls.

📊
Probability Mispricing

Builds independent probability models using historical data, news feeds, and statistical signals to estimate the true probability of an event outcome. When the market price diverges significantly from the model’s estimate, the system automatically places trades to exploit the mispricing before the market corrects — the core alpha source in prediction market trading.

PROBABILITY MODELEDGE DETECTIONPOLYMARKETKALSHI
🎯
Market Making on Prediction Markets

Automated liquidity provision on Polymarket and Kalshi CLOB order books — simultaneously posting YES and NO bids within the spread to earn the bid-ask spread over a high volume of trades. Includes dynamic spread adjustment based on market volatility, inventory management to control directional exposure, and toxicity filters to avoid adverse selection from informed traders.

BID-ASK SPREADCLOBINVENTORY MGTPOLYMARKET
⚖️
Cross-Platform Arbitrage

Real-time monitoring of the same event across multiple platforms — Polymarket, Kalshi, and PredictIt — to identify pricing discrepancies for the same outcome. When the same event trades at materially different prices across platforms, the system simultaneously buys on the cheaper platform and sells on the more expensive one, locking in a near risk-free profit.

📰
NLP News-Driven Trading

Natural Language Processing models that monitor real-time news, social media, and official data releases to detect events that should materially shift the probability of a market outcome before the crowd reacts. For example — detecting an election poll release, economic data print, or breaking political news and immediately adjusting positions on Polymarket or Kalshi before prices move.

Betfair Sports Trading

Systematic sports trading on Betfair Exchange using statistical models for pre-match and in-play markets. Covers football (expected goals models), horse racing (form and speed ratings), and tennis (serve statistics). Strategies include pre-match value betting, in-play scalping, and laying overpriced favourites using ELO-based and regression models.

Kelly Criterion Bankroll Management

Mathematically optimal position sizing using the Kelly Criterion — calculating the exact fraction of bankroll to stake on each bet or trade based on estimated edge and probability. Includes fractional Kelly variants for risk reduction, dynamic bankroll tracking, and drawdown-adjusted staking that reduces exposure during losing runs across Betfair, Polymarket, and Kalshi.

Mean Reversion on Event Markets

Exploits overreactions in prediction market prices following breaking news or large directional trades. When a market price moves sharply but the underlying probability has not fundamentally changed — for example, a temporary shock from a misleading headline — the system fades the move and profits from the reversion to fair value.

ML Probability Forecasting

Machine learning models (XGBoost, LightGBM, ensemble methods) trained on historical prediction market outcomes, polling data, economic indicators, and sentiment data to produce probability forecasts. Walk-forward validation ensures out-of-sample accuracy. Forecasts feed directly into automated trading execution on Polymarket, Kalshi, and PredictIt.

Technical Capabilities

Full-Stack Technical Expertise
Across All Platforms

From API integration to probability modelling and live deployment — complete end-to-end development capability.

🔌
Polymarket CLOB API

Full Polymarket REST and WebSocket integration — order placement, order book streaming, market data, position management, and on-chain settlement via Polygon. Handles wallet signing, gas optimisation, and USDC balance management.

📋

Probability Modelling

Custom statistical models built in Python using historical outcome data, polling APIs, economic data feeds, and sports statistics sources — producing calibrated probability estimates to compare against live market prices.

📰
Real-Time Data Pipelines

Live data ingestion from news APIs (NewsAPI, GDELT), social media (Twitter/X), official government data sources, and sports statistics feeds — parsed and processed in real time to update model inputs as events unfold.

🗄️
Historical Data & Backtesting

Historical prediction market data collection and storage — including resolved market outcomes, price histories, and volume data — to build and validate strategy performance before live deployment.

How It Works

From Strategy Idea to Live
Prediction Market Bot in 4 Steps

A structured, transparent process — no black boxes, no surprises.

Step 01
Strategy Discovery

We discuss your approach — which platforms, which event categories, your edge hypothesis, bankroll size, and risk tolerance. Free, no-obligation consultation to assess feasibility.

Step 02
Model Build & Backtest

Probability model and trading strategy built in Python, backtested on historical prediction market data. Calibration analysis, edge measurement, and realistic P&L simulation including platform fees.

Step 03
Paper Trade & Validate

Live paper trading on real market prices — tracking what the bot would have done without real money at stake. Model accuracy and execution logic validated before capital is deployed.

Step 04
Live Deployment

Full live deployment on a dedicated cloud server with real-time monitoring, Telegram or email alerts, bankroll tracking dashboard, and emergency stop controls. 24/7 automated operation.

Risk Management

Bankroll Protection Built Into
Every System From Day One

Prediction and betting markets have unique risk characteristics — every system is built with controls designed specifically for these markets.

📐
Kelly Criterion Staking

Mathematically optimal position sizing — staking the correct fraction of bankroll based on estimated edge. Fractional Kelly variants used to reduce variance while maintaining long-run growth.

🛑
Drawdown Circuit Breakers

Configurable daily and total bankroll drawdown limits that automatically pause all activity when losses reach defined thresholds — preventing an extended losing run from causing catastrophic damage.

⚖️
Exposure Limits Per Market

Maximum exposure caps per individual event or market — preventing over-concentration in a single outcome regardless of how strong the model signal appears. Portfolio-level diversification enforced programmatically.

🎲
Model Confidence Thresholds

Trades only execute when the model’s estimated edge exceeds a minimum threshold — filtering out marginal signals where the probability estimate may be unreliable. Confidence intervals tracked and updated continuously.

🔔
Real-Time Alerting

Telegram and email alerts for every trade execution, model update, connectivity issue, and daily P&L summary. Full visibility into exactly what the system is doing at all times.

🔄
Model Drift Detection

Automated monitoring of model accuracy over time — detecting when prediction accuracy degrades below acceptable levels and pausing trading until the model is reviewed and recalibrated.
