Description
This market is a game of strategic trading against automated algorithms. The objective is to force automated trading bots to exit their positions on your chosen side before the market closes.
Participants attempt to influence bot behavior (such as stop-losses, profit-taking, or strategy switches) so that one side of the market ends up free of bots at close.
Resolution Criteria
This market resolves based on the List of Shareholders (current position holders) on the YES and NO sides at the exact moment of market close.
Outcomes
YES resolves if:
The YES side has zero bots, and
The NO side has at least one bot holding a position.
NO resolves if:
The NO side has zero bots, and
The YES side has at least one bot holding a position.
PROB 50% if:
Both sides have bots holding positions at close.
N/A (Cancel) if:
Neither side has bots holding positions (i.e., humans fully cleared both sides).
Definitions
Bot:
Any of 6 accounts with the official “Bot” tag is considered a bot for resolution purposes.Holding a Position:
A bot must hold a non-zero amount of shares (e.g., > M1) on that side at market close.Limit orders do not count
Only filled positions are considered.
Strategy Notes
Bots operate according to predefined logic. To win, traders may attempt to make it unattractive for bots to remain on a given side by:
Squeezing them out: Triggering stop-losses or profit-taking behavior
Baiting them: Manipulating probabilities to induce side-switching
Known Automated Bots
The following bots are currently considered alive and fully automated for this market:
If additional fully automated and active bots are identified, they may be considered; however, this list is treated as complete for now.
P.S..: automated @dcxStep infiniteMoneyGlitch (placing start-on bets) and @jackbot are not "-bot" for the resolution purpose.
