Polymarket Opportunities Scanning

Scan Polymarket's active multi-outcome markets for book arbitrage opportunities where the sum of all YES prices deviates from 1.0. Generate a ranked report and send to Telegram + email.

How It Works

In a truly mutually exclusive multi-outcome market, all YES prices should sum to 1.0.

Deviation	Type	Strategy
Sum > 1.0 (overbooked)	OVERBOOK	Buy all NO outcomes
Sum < 1.0 (underbooked)	UNDERBOOK	Buy all YES outcomes

NegRisk markets are the highest quality — they're structurally guaranteed to be mutually exclusive.

Setup

Copy scripts/scanner.js and scripts/send-report.js to your project directory
Create .env in the same directory with email config (see references/setup.md)
Install dependencies: npm install (no external deps — uses built-in fetch and Node.js)
Test: node scanner.js && node send-report.js

Running a Scan

# Run scanner → saves opportunities.json
node scanner.js

# Send report (reads opportunities.json → Telegram + email)
node send-report.js

Or run both in one cron command:

node /path/to/send-report.js

(send-report.js calls scanner.js internally)

Scan Parameters (configurable in scanner.js)

Parameter	Default	Description
minVolume	$10,000	Skip low-liquidity markets
minThreshold	3%	Minimum deviation worth acting on
maxThreshold	50%	Above this = likely false signal
minPrice	3%	Filter near-zero outcomes
maxPrice	97%	Filter near-certain outcomes
