1. Overview of signal systems
A signal system is the whole pipeline: pull Polymarket data, turn it into features, run rules or models, fire alerts, and optionally hand off to execution—while you can actually observe what broke and cap how bad a bad day gets.
The good ones are deliberately boring:
- Definitions that behave the same way every time the inputs repeat
- Rules you can version and replay
- Quality you can measure (precision/recall, false positives, PnL attribution)
- Hard limits on blast radius—throttles, caps, kill switches
Whale flow and Smart Money scores slot in naturally as inputs—usually as filters or score boosts on top of price, liquidity, and anything tied to how the contract resolves.
