Divergence

Divergence Trading - Spot vs Poly Price Lag

Detects when Binance spot prices move but Polymarket 15-minute binary markets haven't caught up yet. Buys the lagging side and sells when it corrects.

Strategy tags match the CLAUDE.md encoding: BTC_DOWN_s12-14_w15 (0.12-0.14% move in 15s window).

Starts in dry-run mode by default (no real orders).

Quick Start

/div start                     # Dry-run on BTC,ETH,SOL,XRP
/div start BTC,ETH --size 30   # Specific assets + size
/div status                    # Stats, open positions
/div stop                      # Stop and show summary

Detection Algorithm

For each spot tick, across all configured windows (5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s):

1. Look up spot price N seconds ago via binary search
2. Calculate spotMovePct = (now - then) / then * 100
3. If move >= threshold AND poly is fresh (< 5s stale):
   • Generate signal with strategy tag: {ASSET}_{DIR}_s{bucket}_w{window}
   • e.g., BTC_DOWN_s12-14_w15 = 0.12-0.14% spot drop over 15s

Threshold Buckets

Exit Logic

1. Force exit — < 30s before market expiry
2. Take profit — PnL >= 15% (configurable)
3. Stop loss — PnL <= -25% (configurable)
4. Trailing stop — Activated at +10%, exits if drops 8% from HWM
5. Time exit — < 2min before expiry
