#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Paper liquidity-provision loop — measures NET reward yield without real money. It simulates posting two-sided limit orders near the midpoint on the screener's top markets, against the LIVE order book, and tracks: net P&L = rewards accrued - adverse-selection / inventory P&L Reward model (per poll, per market): your_share = your_notional / (your_notional + competing_notional_near_mid) rewards += daily_pool * your_share * (seconds_elapsed / 86400) (matches Polymarket's score-share mechanic; assumes ~equal price-quality, which is conservative since we quote tight to mid.) Fill / adverse-selection model: We rest a bid at mid-tick and an ask at mid+tick. Between polls, if the midpoint crosses a quote, that quote is assumed FILLED at its price, and we take on inventory marked at the NEW mid — so a price that runs through us books an immediate loss. This is the bleed that must stay below rewards. Each poll we "cancel and re-quote" around the new mid (a bot requoting every poll interval). Shorter --poll = less bleed, fewer missed requotes. This is an APPROXIMATION (ignores queue position, partial fills, requote latency), deliberately a bit pessimistic on fills. Good enough to answer the one question that gates real money: is net positive, and how big? python3 lp_paper.py --capital 1000 --markets 6 --poll 20 """ import argparse import json import os import time from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor from lp_screener import get, reward_markets, daily_rate, hours_to_end, realized_vol_cents, CLOB import sys, os; sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')) # copytrade lives at the repo root since 2026-07-08 from copytrade import post_discord, load_json STATE_PATH = "lp_paper_state.json" def screen_targets(n, min_rate, per_market, max_vol): """Pick the top-N low-vol reward markets we can actually qualify in.
