Mid Price Spread Schema for Prediction Market Traders
Resolved Markets delivers millisecond-precision orderbook snapshots from Polymarket's most active prediction markets, enabling traders to execute sophisticated strategies across crypto, sports, economics, and weather categories. With full bid/ask depth arrays captured at 20Hz for crypto markets and continuous streaming via WebSocket, traders access granular market microstructure data previously unavailable to retail participants. The API eliminates latency friction—query live or historical snapshots of BTC/ETH price predictions, NFL/NBA outcomes, FOMC decisions, and 30-city weather events. Backtesting against 11.4M+ historical snapshots reveals spread dynamics, liquidity patterns, and price discovery mechanisms across 100+ tracked markets, enabling data-driven position sizing and entry/exit optimization.
Active Polymarket traders need Mid Price Spread Schema. Resolved Markets captures the 14-column ClickHouse orderbook schema with DateTime64(3) timestamps with full bid/ask arrays, exposing the spread dynamics, queue depth, and large-order detection that competitive prediction-market trading requires.
Data challenges Prediction Market Traders run into
Mid Price Spread Schema from Resolved Markets is built around the data gaps Prediction Market Traders hit when they try to work with raw Polymarket feeds.
Orderbook depth opacity across fragmented Polymarket markets
Retail traders accessing Polymarket lack full orderbook visibility, seeing only incomplete bid/ask data. Resolved Markets captures complete depth arrays at 20Hz, revealing true liquidity clustering, hidden orders, and support/resistance levels institutional traders exploit. Without this granular data, independent traders operate with information asymmetry, unable to detect micro-movements or anticipate slippage on larger positions across BTC/ETH prediction markets.
Latency disadvantage vs. institutional market makers
Latency is critical in prediction market arbitrage—spreads tighten within milliseconds as new information emerges. Standard APIs introduce 100-500ms delays; Resolved Markets delivers millisecond-timestamp snapshots, enabling traders to detect momentum shifts before competitors react. This 0-lag advantage compounds across multiple daily trades, especially during volatile FOMC announcement or sports event conclusion windows when orderbook volatility spikes dramatically.
Insufficient historical data for reliable backtesting
Backtesting prediction market strategies fails without historical orderbook data. Generic crypto trading datasets don't capture Polymarket-specific dynamics—smaller order sizes, fewer market makers, longer expiration timelines. Resolved Markets' 11.4M+ snapshot archive (spanning 100+ markets) lets traders simulate strategies against authentic historical conditions, identify profitable spread-capture opportunities, and validate risk models before deploying real capital.
Real-time execution signal extraction from noisy market data
Raw orderbook data is noisy—ghost orders, failed fills, and cascading liquidations create false signals. Traders struggle to extract actionable edge from unfiltered depth updates. Resolved Markets' WebSocket stream includes cleaned snapshots with market state metadata, enabling traders to build robust signal extraction pipelines that distinguish genuine liquidity from predatory order placement and identify sustainable alpha opportunities.
Built for quantitative work on Mid Price Spread Schema
Orderbook-level prediction-market data that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Eliminate orderbook visibility gaps with full depth captures
Access complete bid/ask depth arrays for every tracked prediction market—not fragments from partial APIs. See exact liquidity levels, identify hidden orders, and detect order placement patterns institutional traders use. Full visibility enables precise spread-capture algorithms and slippage estimation, transforming blind trades into calculated bets backed by micro-level orderbook intelligence across crypto, sports, and economics categories.
Reduce latency from milliseconds to sub-millisecond precision
Millisecond timestamps synchronized across all captures ensure precise latency measurement and fair performance attribution. Execute orders knowing exact snapshot ages—avoid stale data traps where price predictions shifted 500ms prior. Sub-millisecond delivery speed means your algorithms react to market movements as fast as the fastest institutional systems, eliminating the latency tax most retail traders silently pay.
Backtest strategies on authentic historical Polymarket data
Backtest using real historical snapshots eliminates survivorship bias and synthetic data artifacts. Test mean-reversion strategies on actual FOMC decision orderbooks, momentum algorithms on live NBA game outcomes, and spread capture across weather predictions. The 11.4M snapshot archive provides statistical power—validate 50+ strategy variations against authentic market conditions before committing capital.
Scale strategies across 100+ tracked prediction markets
Scale profitably by distributing risk across 100+ markets instead of chasing individual positions. Test whether profitable spread-capture logic from BTC prediction markets translates to EPL outcomes or jobs report bets. Multi-market correlation patterns visible in Resolved Markets' cross-category snapshots reveal diversification opportunities and hidden risk concentrations traders miss with single-category focus.

Mid Price Spread Schema in context
Active prediction-market trading is now competitive enough that Mid Price Spread Schema is table stakes. DateTime64(3) timestamps with full bid/ask arrays on best_bid, best_ask, mid_price, spread, bids[], asks[] closes the visibility gap between manual traders and systematic desks.
Frequently asked: Mid Price Spread Schema for Prediction Market Traders
-
What bid/ask depth can I capture from Resolved Markets' API?
Resolved Markets captures complete orderbook snapshots including all active bid and ask orders with price levels and sizes. For crypto markets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP), snapshots are captured at 20Hz. You receive full depth arrays via REST API (historical queries) or WebSocket streaming (live updates), enabling precise liquidity analysis and slippage prediction impossible with aggregated mid-price feeds.
-
How accurate are the millisecond timestamps for latency measurements?
Timestamps are synchronized to millisecond precision across all Polymarket snapshots, captured in ClickHouse for durability. Each snapshot records the exact moment the orderbook state was captured, enabling accurate latency attribution. This precision lets traders measure execution slippage, quantify their latency disadvantage vs. market makers, and validate whether algorithmic improvements actually reduce capture-to-execution delay.
-
Can I backtest spread-capture strategies on historical data?
Yes. Query 11.4M+ historical snapshots via the API to access orderbook states for any past date across all 100+ tracked markets. Reconstruct exact historical bid/ask spreads, test whether mean-reversion or momentum logic worked on actual Polymarket data, and measure slippage that would have occurred. This enables robust backtesting impossible on synthetic data, with statistical rigor comparable to equity market research.
-
Do you provide data for sports and economics prediction markets beyond crypto?
Absolutely. Resolved Markets tracks 100+ markets across crypto (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP predictions), sports (NBA, NFL, EPL), economics (FOMC decisions, jobs reports), and weather (30 cities daily). Each category maintains full orderbook history. Traders can develop cross-category strategies, diversify portfolio risk, and exploit category-specific volatility patterns (e.g., leverage weather predictions during hurricane season).
-
What's the typical WebSocket latency for real-time orderbook updates?
WebSocket connections deliver snapshots with sub-millisecond propagation delay once captured. 20Hz crypto market capture rate ensures you receive updates at least every 50ms. For real-time trading, this eliminates stale data—you're always within 50ms of true market state. Combined with your local order execution, total system latency remains competitive with institutional setups despite retail-accessible pricing.
-
Can Mid Price Spread Schema detect mispricings in real time?
Yes. Continuous capture surfaces sub-second mispricings that REST polling misses. WebSocket streaming pushes the data to live trading systems.
-
How is Mid Price Spread Schema different from polling Polymarket?
Polling at 1-2s misses 10-40x more state changes. Mid Price Spread Schema runs continuously and is streamed to clients, so prediction-market traders see every quote shift the moment it happens.
-
How do active traders use Mid Price Spread Schema?
Traders watch Mid Price Spread Schema for spread compression, depth shifts, and mispriced contracts. DateTime64(3) timestamps with full bid/ask arrays ensures every meaningful state change is captured.
-
Can I use Mid Price Spread Schema with dbt?
Yes. Most teams build dbt models that consume Mid Price Spread Schema via the ClickHouse connector and derive downstream features (spread, depth imbalance, mid-price velocity).
-
Is Mid Price Spread Schema compatible with Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake?
Yes. Bulk Parquet exports of Mid Price Spread Schema drop directly into Iceberg or Delta tables for time-travel queries and ACID semantics.
