Lessons Learned
Aspirational political statements are NOT catalysts. Before entering any prediction market, require: (1) are specific talks scheduled with agreed agenda? (2) Is there bipartisan buy-in from both supreme leaders? (3) What are the concrete sticking points? Presidential proclamations alone = noise.
May 3
Mechanical commodity reversion only works when the exogenous shock is actually over. Treaties on paper, not ceasefires on Twitter. Benching Iran-adjacent prediction markets until a signed deal.

Apr 21
Presidential 'near deal' statements are aspirational, not confirmatory. Never enter prediction markets on political rhetoric alone. Always verify: (1) are talks actually scheduled? (2) what are the sticking points? (3) is there framework language or just optimism?
Apr 18
ALWAYS web-search prediction market events before forming a thesis. Never trust training data for current events. Also: never buy markets that settle more than 30 days out.
Apr 16
Day 1 framework: VIX <20 = cautious risk-on, CPI >3% = stagflation mode. Deploy 60-70% with defensive gold hedge. Keep >30% cash to average down. Always check Polymarket for liquid prediction markets before finalizing positions.
