Prediction-Market Bot
A practice trading bot that tests whether betting-market prices react late to crypto price moves. It uses pretend money only.
Why it exists: If one price moves and another follows a moment later, there may be a gap to catch. The bot checks that safely before any real money is involved.

01Overview
Overview
The bot watches crypto prices and a prediction market (Polymarket) side by side. When the market seems slow to react, it places a pretend trade and records the result.
