Episode notes
Use Posted Prices As Free Peer Review
- Post prices to learn from market reactions and use fills as signal to improve models.
- Treat posting as a low-cost peer review that helps identify when your numbers are being picked off.
Avoid High-Volatility Markets Without Automation
- Avoid making markets with huge volatility if you can't monitor or adjust rapidly.
- Choose markets with narrow outcome distributions (e.g., NFL sides) when you lack resources to manage rapid news-driven swings.
Execution Often Beats Slightly Better Prices
- Short term edge favors operators with solid automation and execution, not just perfect numbers.
- B prices with flawless execution often beat A prices with manual, slow posting.
