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
