What it does

Probability Momentum is an agent skill from Superior-Trade/superior-skills. Use when a Polymarket outcome price and filled volume are accelerating in the same direction.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. It works with Polymarket. The repository describes itself as: Open agent skills and tool schemas for Superior Trade — build, backtest, and deploy trading strategies on Hyperliquid. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A Polymarket outcome price and filled volume are accelerating in the same direction
  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

Example prompts

  • “/probability-momentum”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. One large fill can produce a false momentum signal.
  2. Thin trades can overstate available liquidity.
  3. Late-resolution markets can reverse from mark-to-market gains to a 0/1 close.
  4. Stale fills can make momentum look cleaner than it was live.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d41db5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Probability Momentum loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 309 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~686

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Strategy: Polymarket · Probability Momentum

When to use

Use this when someone asks for momentum, trend following, breakout, follow-the-crowd behavior, fast-moving crypto milestones, or rapid probability acceleration.

What the agent should look for

  • Canonical Polymarket market from GET /context/markets?venue=polymarket.
  • backtest_ready: true.
  • Sufficient filled-trade history for the requested lookback window.
  • Rising probability on last-trade filled ticks.
  • Elevated fill counts or larger notional during the move.
  • Market not too close to resolution unless user explicitly accepts expiry risk.

Backtest fit with filled data

Good fit for this archetype. Filled TradeTick history can validate whether momentum would have produced fill-driven entries, exits, and directional exposure.

Limit: filled-trade backtests do not prove maker queue position, maker rebates, or order-book depth. Treat this as taker-style behavior evidence, not certainty.

Strategy logic

Enter YES when recent probability rises more than a threshold over lookback_ticks. Exit when exit_after_ticks is reached, or when momentum stalls if an exit condition is included.

Nautilus strategy shape

  • subscribe_trade_ticks(instrument_id) to stream TradeTicks.
  • Use on_trade_tick as the main event handler.
  • Submit market or conservative IOC orders.
  • Track open position and fill state in on_order_filled.

Example strategyConfig

json
{
  "lookback_ticks": 5,
  "momentum_threshold": 0.02,
  "order_size": 10,
  "exit_after_ticks": 25,
  "max_entries": 3
}

Iteration knobs

KnobEffect
lookback_ticksLarger values reduce noise; smaller values react faster.
momentum_thresholdHigher values reduce frequency and require stronger momentum.
order_sizeLarger values increase PnL sensitivity and liquidity exposure.
exit_after_ticksShorter values trim quickly; longer values hold trend.
max_entriesCaps repeated entries in choppy markets.

Failure modes

  1. One large fill can produce a false momentum signal.
  2. Thin trades can overstate available liquidity.
  3. Late-resolution markets can reverse from mark-to-market gains to a 0/1 close.
  4. Stale fills can make momentum look cleaner than it was live.

User-facing framing

"This is a probability momentum strategy: it buys when fills and last-trade probability move together in one direction. It is backtestable with filled TradeTicks, but it does not confirm maker queue priority or spread capture."
