Arbitrage Scanner

Detect cross-platform price discrepancies between Polymarket and Limitless Exchange with AI-powered opportunity scoring.

Overview

The Arbitrage Scanner continuously monitors the same prediction markets across multiple platforms, identifying price differences that can be exploited for profit. When the same market is priced differently on two platforms, there is an opportunity to buy low on one and sell high on the other.

How Arbitrage Works

In prediction markets, the same question can be listed on multiple platforms at different prices. For example:

  • Polymarket prices "Will X happen?" at 65%
  • Limitless prices the same question at 58%

The 7% spread represents an arbitrage opportunity:

Spread = |Price_A - Price_B|

By buying on the cheaper platform and selling on the more expensive one, you capture the spread as profit.

Dashboard Features

Opportunity Table

Active arbitrage opportunities are displayed with:

| Column | Description | |--------|-------------| | Market | The prediction question matched across platforms | | Polymarket Price | Current price on Polymarket | | Limitless Price | Current price on Limitless | | Spread | Price difference between platforms | | Expected Profit | Estimated profit based on position size | | Risk Level | Low, Medium, or High risk classification | | Score | AI-powered opportunity score |

Platform Status

Real-time connectivity indicators show:

  • Platform connection status (Connected/Offline)
  • API latency in milliseconds
  • Data freshness

Statistics

Track overall arbitrage performance:

  • Total Found: Number of opportunities detected
  • Average Spread: Mean spread across all opportunities
  • Active Positions: Currently open arbitrage positions
  • Total Profit: Cumulative profit from arbitrage

Risk Scoring

Each opportunity is assigned a risk level based on:

  • Low Risk: High liquidity on both sides, small spread, short time to resolution
  • Medium Risk: Moderate liquidity, medium spread, some execution risk
  • High Risk: Low liquidity on one side, large spread (may indicate information asymmetry)

Opportunity Score

The AI-powered opportunity score (0-10) considers:

  1. Spread size: Larger spreads score higher
  2. Liquidity: Better liquidity on both platforms scores higher
  3. Execution probability: Likelihood of fills at displayed prices
  4. Historical convergence: How often similar spreads have converged
  5. Time to resolution: Nearer resolution means faster profit realization

Best Practices

1. Focus on High Scores

Opportunities with scores above 7.0 typically have the best risk-reward ratio.

2. Check Liquidity

Ensure there is sufficient liquidity on both platforms to execute at displayed prices. Large orders may move the price.

3. Account for Fees

Factor in platform fees, gas costs, and slippage when calculating expected profit.

4. Monitor Platform Status

Only trade when both platforms show healthy connectivity and low latency.

Cross-Platform Matching

Markets are matched across platforms using:

  • Question similarity analysis
  • Resolution criteria matching
  • Category and topic alignment

Matching Accuracy

Our matching algorithm uses semantic similarity to identify the same questions across platforms, even when wording differs slightly.
