Run completed in PAPER mode.
The existing Leong position remains active: 5 YES at 83¢, with the market at 89¢ bid / 91¢ ask. It has not settled, and there is no thesis break, so I held.
The Sports scan returned only markets closing essentially immediately (the displayed baseball markets close at 22:10 UTC, less than a minute away). The only clear moneyline was Colorado at 63¢, outside the 75–90¢ favorite range; no qualifying favorite with sufficient remaining horizon and depth was available. No orders were placed, and no resting orders exist.
Next run: first check whether the Leong market has settled, then scan for a qualifying 75–90¢ moneyline with meaningful time before close and depth.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
Reviewed the existing Leong position: 5 YES at 83¢, marked 86¢. The market remains active with an 84¢ bid / 88¢ ask and substantial depth. I held because there is no settlement or thesis break.
Scanned Sports markets closing within 24 hours. The most relevant favorite was WBT in the WBT–Donstu game at an 82¢ ask, with a 56¢ best bid and meaningful depth, but it closes in about 21 minutes—too little horizon for a passive entry and management. Total Maps 3 for WBT–Donstu showed a 77¢ ask but only one contract at the touch and closes just as soon; other candidates were either above the target range or extremely thin. No orders were placed.
No resting orders remain. Next run should first check whether the Leong market has settled, then scan for a favorite in the 75–90¢ range with genuine depth and materially more time before close.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
Reviewed the Leong position: market remains active despite its stated close having passed; it is at 88¢ bid / 89¢ ask with substantial depth. Held 5 YES contracts at an 83¢ average because there is no settlement or thesis break.
Scanned soon-closing Sports markets. The only apparent candidates were WBT map 1 (86¢ ask), Otter Side map 3 (81¢ ask), and Inner Circle map 1 (94¢ ask). Books were extremely thin, and the first two close within roughly 20–50 minutes—too little horizon for a passive maker entry. Inner Circle exceeded the 75–90¢ range. No orders were placed.
No resting orders remain. Next run should first check whether Leong has settled, then scan for markets with genuine depth and sufficient remaining time; avoid thin esports books and near-expiry entries.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Reviewed existing order 4587 for HooK Esport: market is still active but its stated close passed, and the book moved to 98¢ bid / 99¢ ask. Canceled the stale 5-contract buy at 87¢.
- Leong YES position remains unresolved despite its stated close having passed. Book is strong at 90¢ bid / 91¢ ask with substantial depth; held 5 YES contracts at 83¢ average rather than exiting without settlement or a thesis break.
- Sports scan found no qualifying new favorite entry. Wolfsburg was only 47¢ ask, while PSG had no ask and was effectively 99¢; neither met the 75–90¢ favorite range with actionable passive pricing.
- No new orders placed.
Next run: verify whether Leong has settled; if settled, exit or retain only according to the result. Continue scanning soon-closing moneyline markets and require a genuine 75–90¢ ask, adequate depth, and enough remaining horizon.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Existing Leong YES position: 5 contracts at 83¢. Market remains active despite its stated close having passed; book is strong at 90 bid / 91 ask with substantial depth. No settlement or result is available, so position was held.
- Sports scan identified three favorites in the 75–90¢ ask range. The HooK Esport market had the strongest actionable two-sided depth: 81¢ bid / 89¢ ask, with 80 bid contracts and 2 ask contracts at the touch.
- Placed one passive entry: buy 5 HooK Esport YES at 87¢, exactly two cents below the 89¢ ask. It is resting unfilled; maker fee is 0. Order ID: 4587.
- Other candidates were not entered: CGN had only 2 contracts at the 77¢ bid and a wide spread; Sissi State Punks had a 66¢ bid against an 80¢ ask, failing the depth/spread test.
Next run should check order 4587 for fills and cancel/reprice if the market moves more than 5¢ away or the game is within 20 minutes of starting. Also verify whether Leong has settled and exit the position if appropriate.

Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Existing Leong YES position remains 5 contracts at 83¢. The market is still active, marked around 89¢, but its stated close time has already passed; no exit was placed because no settlement/result was available. Next run should verify settlement and reduce/close if appropriate.
- Sports scan found no suitable new entry. Marques/Silva YES showed an 80¢ ask but a very wide 14¢/80¢ spread, so it failed the real two-sided-depth/passive-entry test. FK Pohronie had a 75¢ bid but no ask and closes imminently at 17:30 UTC, so it was not actionable.
- No orders placed; no resting orders remain. Cash and risk allocation are unchanged.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Reviewed Sports markets closing within 24 hours.
- Existing Leong YES position remains 5 contracts at 83¢; no exit condition triggered and no resting orders require cancellation.
- The only qualifying favorite with a 75–90¢ ask and meaningful depth was Elyse Tse YES: 78¢ bid / 85¢ ask, with 5 contracts at the 86¢ ask. However, the market closes at 17:00 UTC—about 51 minutes away—leaving insufficient horizon for a passive entry and managed exit.
- Longwe-Smit showed a 78¢ ask but a very wide 50¢/78¢ spread and thin/uncertain activity, so it was not suitable.
- Pereira/Pujol Navarro had a 65¢ ask, outside the required favorite range, with a wide spread and no useful price history.
- No new orders placed. Cash remains available and no orders are resting.
Next run should first check Leong settlement/status, then scan newly available Sports moneylines with adequate time remaining and real two-sided depth.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Reviewed Sports markets closing within 24 hours.
- Existing AEK Athens YES order 4488 was stale: the market had already passed its listed 15:00 UTC close and moved to 90 bid / 96 ask. Canceled the 5-contract buy at 87¢.
- No new entries placed. The strongest apparent favorites were either outside the required 75–90¢ range, had wide/uncertain books, or were not valid market IDs for detailed review. Some candidates close in under an hour, leaving insufficient horizon for a passive entry and managed exit.
- Leong YES remains 5 contracts at 83¢, marked 90.5¢, held for settlement; no exit condition triggered.
- No resting orders remain. Cash/reservation should be checked next run, along with Leong settlement status and newly listed Sports moneylines with adequate depth and time remaining.
Run completed in PAPER mode.
- Leong YES position: 5 contracts, mark 88¢/ask 90¢; held to settlement. No exit condition triggered.
- Reviewed Sports markets closing within 24 hours. Placed three passive maker entries:
- Pohjola YES: 5 at 77¢, best ask 79¢ / bid 65¢. Resting order 4487.
- AEK Athens YES: 5 at 87¢, best ask 89¢ / bid 86¢. Resting order 4488.
- HOTU map 2 YES: 5 at 81¢, best ask 84¢ / bid 80¢. Resting order 4489.
- All orders are below the touch, fee-free maker orders, and remain unfilled. Other candidates were rejected for prices outside the 75–90¢ range, insufficient depth, or excessive spread.
Next run: check whether orders 4487–4489 filled, cancel/reprice any market whose game is imminent or whose ask moves more than 5¢ away, and review Leong for settlement or an exit opportunity.

- Reviewed current positions: Leong YES remains active at 87¢ bid / 89¢ ask; no exit taken. Krajci YES remains active at 60¢ bid / 71¢ ask; no resting order was present to cancel or reprice.
- Scanned Sports markets closing within 24 hours. Lopez Alcaraz qualified on headline pricing at 83¢ ask, but the order book showed a 4¢ spread and only 1 contract at the 79¢ bid; insufficiently attractive passive entry.
- Iannaccone/Kravchenko showed a 94¢ ask, outside the 75–90¢ target range. Bienkiewicz was only 71¢ at the ask. Other apparent candidates were either invalid/not found, already closed, extremely wide, or lacked meaningful depth.
- No orders placed.
Next run should recheck whether Leong and Krajci have settled, inspect any newly listed sports favorites, and avoid entering markets with less than enough time for a passive fill and meaningful management.
