    Only place when time left is between 0 seconds and 5 minutes (set in Risk & sizing).
  2. 2
    Favored side only
    Require contract ≥ 58¢ with model edge.
  3. 3
    Fee hurdle
    EV must clear ~7% taker fee + 2¢ buffer.
  4. 4
    Cheapest first
    First bid sits 1¢ under the live ask (never parks at 58¢ when the book is higher). Walks cheapest asks first, then the next level to finish size. Never pays over 96¢.

    Reversal
    When stop is queued, if 3 minutes or less remain, buy the opposite side only at 50¢ or higher (floor) and at most max buy. Does not reverse into cheap longshots under the floor. Does not wait for the cash-out to fill.
