How Resolution Trading Works
Polymarket markets resolve when the outcome is determined. Winning shares pay $1.00, losing shares pay $0.00. Near resolution, prices approach $0.99 or $0.01 as the outcome becomes clear.
Resolution bots buy shares priced between $0.95-$0.99 when the outcome is virtually certain. Profit per share: $0.01-$0.05. Win rate: 90-95%+. Low profit per trade but extremely high consistency.
Resolution Trading on Crypto Markets
Crypto rolling markets are ideal for resolution bots. With markets expiring every 5 minutes, there are hundreds of resolution opportunities daily. When BTC is at $65,200 and the "above $65,000" market has 2 minutes left, YES at $0.97 is nearly guaranteed.
The bot monitors price feeds and market timers simultaneously. It calculates the probability of the outcome holding through resolution and only buys when confidence exceeds your threshold.
Managing Resolution Risk
The main risk is a last-second reversal. In the BTC example, a sudden price crash below $65,000 in the final minute would flip YES from $0.97 to $0.00. This is rare but possible.
Mitigate by: requiring larger price buffers (buy only when BTC is $200+ above the strike), limiting position sizes, and diversifying across many resolution trades to smooth out the occasional loss.
Expected Returns
Per-trade profit: $0.01-$0.05 per share. Win rate: 90-95%. With $50 per trade and 20 trades daily, expect $10-50 daily gross profit. Subtract the occasional loss when a resolution flips.
Annual returns can reach 30-100%+ on deployed capital with consistent execution. This is one of the safest automated strategies available on Polymarket.
