What This Skill Does

Argus Edge is a prediction market betting engine for Polymarket that computes expected value by comparing TA-implied win probability against market odds. It sizes bets using the Kelly criterion and applies freshness and consensus filters to avoid low-signal markets. Derived from 100+ live bets with documented lessons.

Combines TA signal calibration per asset with freshness and consensus guards, filtering out dead signals that a naive EV calculator would still bet on.

When to use it

  • Finding high-EV bets on Polymarket before a market matures
  • Sizing a crypto prediction market position with Kelly criterion
  • Scanning all active Polymarket markets for edge above 10%
  • Fading crowd consensus when TA signals diverge from market odds
  • Calculating per-asset bet thresholds for BTC, ETH, SOL, or XRP

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Use argus-edge for full market scan with Kelly sizing

AGENT
  1. 1Fetches active Polymarket markets and filters out those older than 30 minutes
  2. 2Computes TA score for each relevant asset using asset-specific reliability and bias settings
  3. 3Calculates edge as TA-implied probability minus market-implied probability
  4. 4Skips markets with edge below 10%, consensus above 92%, or TA score below asset minimum
  5. 5Returns ranked bets with Kelly stake sizes based on edge and current bankroll
OUTPUT

A ranked list of actionable Polymarket bets with edge percentage, recommended YES/NO side, and Kelly-sized stake amount
