MACD cross	Bullish cross	Bearish cross	±1
MACD histogram	Rising	Falling	±1

Live Bet Integration (Polymarket Argus Strategy)

Combine momentum score with Polymarket market odds:

# Edge formula
our_prob = 0.50 + (momentum_score * 0.05)  # score 6 = 80% confidence
market_prob_up = polymarket_up_price  # e.g. 0.35 (35% UP consensus)
edge = our_prob - market_prob_up  # e.g. 0.80 - 0.35 = 45% edge!

# Bet when:
# - abs(momentum_score) >= 3
# - abs(edge) >= 0.10 (10%)
# - market is fresh (<30 min old)
# - USDC.e balance >= $5

Counter-Consensus Setups (L023)

Highest-EV Polymarket plays:

• Momentum score ≥+3 AND market DOWN >70% → BET UP (counter-consensus, 3-5x payout)
• Momentum score ≤-3 AND market UP >70% → BET DOWN (counter-consensus, 3-5x payout)

Example: SOL score=+4, Polymarket DOWN 80% → buy UP at 0.20 → if wins: 5x return
