Opportunity Scoring
Markets are scored based on:
Score = (Liquidity Factor × 0.3) + (Probability Edge × 0.3) + (Time Value × 0.2) + (Movement × 0.2)
Liquidity Factor: Higher liquidity = higher score (easier to enter/exit)
Probability Edge: Markets with probabilities far from 50% but trending = opportunity
Time Value: Markets resolving soon with high uncertainty = valuable
Movement: Recent probability shifts indicate new information
What Makes a Good Opportunity?
- Probability between 15-35% or 65-85% — Enough edge without extreme odds
- Liquidity > $50K — Can enter meaningful position
- Recent movement > 5% — Market is actively repricing
- Resolution within 30 days — Time value is concrete
- Your own knowledge edge — You know something the market doesn't
