// What It Does
Foresight traded Polymarket prediction markets and was subsequently wound down. This is an archived engineering case study, not a currently operating service or a performance offer.
Its PolyEdge design combined directional context with momentum confirmation and time-limited execution windows. Signals could be recorded without placing a trade if timing or risk checks failed. Thresholds and windows varied by release; the diagram below describes the stages rather than a universal trading configuration.
StateCheckpointer persisted selected strategy and risk state to support recovery after restart. Checkpoint recovery reduces cold-start work, but does not guarantee that no recent state is lost or that signal quality is unchanged after every failure. The useful lesson is structural discipline: explicit execution gates, persisted state and a path to stop.
