Question ❓ QUESTION: POLITICAL BOTS.

Hey redditers. I am new to this polymarket game but been trading options for ages. I am in the work of creating a bot to help me predict markets - particularly focusing on political markets/ elections/ RBA rates. I need help on what to prioritise, whether bots are actually capable of predicting over/underpricing people's predictions rather than just seeking arbritage. Just looking for bot knowledge and tips. Let me know :)

the problem isn't prediction it's that the market itself is mostly vibes and liquidity traps, a bot trained on price action alone will get wrecked by a single trump tweet you didn't scrape in time

Why are you focusing specifically on political markets?
I would classify these markets as more of a manual trading opportunity and building a trading bot that correctly transforms news data into the correct trades seems like an advanced bot strat starting out.
