What you need to run it
- Access to the earliest available live feed for the event type you trade
- Continuous latency measurement against a reference to know where you stand
- Automatic stand-down when your feed is behind, since being slow here is pure loss
Where this applies
Markets on Polymarket where caption-latency arbitrage is the natural play:
- Will the word be said during the live address?
- Will the official confirm the announcement on camera today?
- Will the phrase appear in the opening statement?
