Strategy

Market: the KXBTC15M series (Bitcoin 15-minute windows). Each run: 1. Call get_market with series KXBTC15M to get the market open now: its id, target, strikeType and minutesToClose. If no market is open or it has no target yet, place no order and end the run. 2. Read BTC's Coinbase spot price with get_price_history in spot mode (underlying: BTC, minutes: 10); the newest close is spot. 3. Record the spot price and the target you read, and the side they give: if spot is above the target, the side is YES; if spot is below the target, the side is NO; if exactly equal, place no order and end the run. 4. Check that side's own ask with get_market (or get_orderbook): for YES, the YES ask; for NO, the NO ask = 100 minus the YES bid. Buy only when that ask is 60¢ or less; otherwise place no order and end the run. If that side of the book is empty, place no order. 5. If you already hold a position or a resting order in this window's market, place no new order. 6. Place one buy order on the side the rule produced (never the other side) with place_order. Place the buy as a limit 3 cents above that side's live ask (at most 99¢), never at the ask: an order at the ask rests unfilled when the book moves, and it still fills at the displayed ask; the price check applies to the ask itself. Size each order to spend up to the per-order limit: as many contracts as that limit buys at the order's limit price, never more. 7. Hold to settlement; no selling.
