Prediction market arb agent

Prediction market arbitrage agent

On a binary market, YES and NO should sum to $1.00. When they do not, the pair can be bought for a defined return regardless of which side resolves. The agent scans for those gaps continuously and enters only when the edge clears its costs.

What the agent scans for

Each cycle the agent reads a batch of open markets and checks whether the YES and NO legs sum to less than one dollar. Most do not, and most of those that do are filtered out before any price is evaluated.

  • Binary markets where the legs are mispriced
  • A minimum 24-hour volume floor
  • Category filters for markets that cannot be priced reliably
  • A minimum edge threshold before any entry

Why filtering is most of the work

A wide spread on a market with almost no volume is not an opportunity, it is an absence of counterparties, and that becomes apparent when you try to fill. Markets resolving on ambiguous or disputed criteria are excluded for the same reason: a mispricing you cannot explain is not an edge.

  • Thin markets are skipped, not traded
  • Ambiguous resolution criteria are excluded
  • Most scan cycles correctly produce no entry

Costs decide the minimum position

Prediction market venues commonly settle in USDC on Polygon while trading capital sits elsewhere, so entries carry a fixed bridging cost. That cost is charged per entry while the edge is proportional to size, which sets a break-even position below which a correct trade still loses money.

  • Fixed costs per entry, proportional edge
  • A break-even size you can calculate in advance
  • Gas reserves required on the settlement chain
  • Capital committed until the market resolves

Frequently asked questions

What is prediction market arbitrage?

On a binary market the YES and NO outcomes should sum to $1.00, because exactly one of them pays out. When the pair trades below that, buying both locks in the difference regardless of which side wins. The trade requires no view on the underlying event.

Is prediction market arbitrage risk free?

No. The payout logic is defined, but execution is not. Legs can fill at different prices, liquidity can disappear between identifying and entering, markets can resolve on criteria you did not anticipate, and capital is locked until resolution. It is a defined-outcome trade, not a risk-free one.

Why does the agent find so few opportunities?

Mispricings on liquid prediction markets are closed quickly, because this is the most obvious trade in the venue and many participants look for it. A scanner that reports no entry on most cycles is behaving correctly rather than failing.

How much capital does this strategy need?

More than most people expect. Because bridging and transaction costs are charged per entry while the edge scales with position size, there is a position size below which a correctly identified arbitrage still loses money. Divide your fixed cost per entry by your expected edge to find it.

Can I paper trade this strategy first?

Yes. Qwnt supports paper mode so you can observe how often the scanner finds qualifying opportunities before committing live capital.

Trading digital assets involves risk. Qwnt AI does not guarantee profits, and strategy performance can change with market conditions. Start with paper trading and review risk controls before using live capital.
