1. Overview of trading edge
Edge is a repeatable advantage: after fees, spreads, and slippage, your process still clears the bar—positive expected value or better risk-adjusted outcomes than trading on autopilot.
In prediction markets it is rarely one secret. More often it is a stack: you see better information or you process the same public information faster and with less self-deception; you execute without stepping on your own feet; you stay out of corners where you are structurally outmatched.
On Polymarket, people often overweight “secret facts” and underweight resolution literacy and the book itself. Whale flow and Smart Money layers can sharpen timing and selection—but they do not replace a thesis you could explain out loud to a skeptical friend.
