Hourly Momentum Trader
Directional momentum scoring for 1-hour crypto candles with Polymarket binary market integration.
Momentum Score System (-10 to +10)
Each signal contributes to the composite score:
| Signal | Bullish (+) | Bearish (-) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSI | <40 oversold | >70 overbought | ±1 |
| RSI divergence | Bull div | Bear div | ±2 |
| MACD cross | Bullish cross | Bearish cross | ±1 |
| MACD histogram | Rising | Falling | ±1 |
| EMA cross | EMA20>EMA50 | EMA20<EMA50 | ±1 |
| EMA200 | Price above | Price below | ±1 |
| Bollinger | Near lower (oversold) | Near upper (overbought) | ±1 |
| OBV trend | Rising (accumulation) | Falling (distribution) | ±1 |
| OBV divergence | Bull div | Bear div | ±2 |
| Volume | High volume on move | Low volume | ±1 |
Live Bet Integration (Polymarket Argus Strategy)
Combine momentum score with Polymarket market odds:
# Edge formula
our_prob = 0.50 + (momentum_score * 0.05) # score 6 = 80% confidence
market_prob_up = polymarket_up_price # e.g. 0.35 (35% UP consensus)
edge = our_prob - market_prob_up # e.g. 0.80 - 0.35 = 45% edge!
# Bet when:
# - abs(momentum_score) >= 3
# - abs(edge) >= 0.10 (10%)
# - market is fresh (<30 min old)
# - USDC.e balance >= $5
Counter-Consensus Setups (L023)
Highest-EV Polymarket plays:
- Momentum score ≥+3 AND market DOWN >70% → BET UP (counter-consensus, 3-5x payout)
- Momentum score ≤-3 AND market UP >70% → BET DOWN (counter-consensus, 3-5x payout)
Example: SOL score=+4, Polymarket DOWN 80% → buy UP at 0.20 → if wins: 5x return
