  → Confidence scoring (Position 50%, Momentum 30%, RSI 10%, Volume 10%)
  → Executes bets via Polymarket CLI

monitor_bets.py (Notifications)
  → Monitors logs/bets.jsonl
  → Sends Telegram notifications on new bets

trading_state.py (Risk Management)
  → Tracks wins/losses
  → Enforces cooldown after consecutive losses

• Minimum order: 5 shares (Polymarket hard limit)
• Uses --signature-type gnosis-safe for all CLI commands
