close‑collector

A market that is still a heavy favourite with hours left has very little time left to be wrong. This module works the last 24 hours of a market's life and takes the side the clock favours: buy YES at 0.90–0.97, buy NO at 0.03–0.15. Nothing in the middle, and nothing whose price is just an untouched ante.

The closing window

Time runs toward the close on the right-hand end, because that is the direction opportunity moves here: a market enters this module's world by running out of time, not by changing price. Dots outside the two lanes were seen and left alone. 3,195 declined on the clock alone, all outside the window (nearest 24h out), with no price logged, so they are not drawn. 1,438 judged on price inside the window with no hour logged: the strip at the left. 12 trades from the book at their price and hours-to-close when placed, ringed.

12 collected for 300 mana, of which 6 on the favourite side. The band edges matter more than the stake: this module is buying near-certainty, so a single wrong one costs several right ones.
