Event-hour volume breakout
Trades high-volume surges during the hour before major political/economic event resolutions, riding late momentum in partially informed markets.
The bot monitors real-time trading volume and price velocity on markets set to resolve within the next 60 minutes. When volume exceeds 5x the 24-hour rolling average and price moves more than 3% in one direction within 10 minutes, it enters in the direction of the move with a stop-loss at 0.5% adverse move. Exit is at resolution, unless the stop triggers. The hypothesis is that late volume often comes from insiders or algorithmic traders who have access to early results data. In the 2026-08-17 report, this strategy generated one alert but no winning trade due to low market activity. The implementation uses WebSocket APIs and a momentum score based on velocity and acceleration.
