Add WeatherBotStrategy that implements the successful trading approach:

  • Identifies London daily temperature range markets
  • Analyzes bucket mispricing across adjacent ranges
  • Targets YES positions priced 20-30 cents
  • Spreads exposure across multiple buckets

Based on the Polymarket bot that turned $204 into $24,000 with 1,300+ trades and 73% win rate.

Closes #45

Add WeatherBotStrategy that implements the successful trading approach:
- Identifies London daily temperature range markets
- Analyzes bucket mispricing across adjacent ranges
- Targets YES positions priced 20-30 cents
- Spreads exposure across multiple buckets
- One winning bucket covers losses on other positions

Based on the Polymarket bot that turned $204 into $24,000 with
1,300+ trades and 73% win rate.

Includes:
- WeatherBotStrategy class in dr_manhattan/strategies/weather_bot.py
- Example script in examples/weather_bot_strategy.py
- Documentation and usage instructions

Pull Request Review: Weather Bot Strategy

I've reviewed PR #47 and identified several issues that need to be addressed before merging.

Critical Issues

1. Architectural Mismatch - Does Not Inherit from Proper Base Class
Location: dr_manhattan/strategies/weather_bot.py:33

The WeatherBotStrategy does NOT properly inherit from the Strategy base class. The init method doesn't call super().init(), and it duplicates functionality like is_running, check_interval, etc.

Impact: Missing all the built-in features from the Strategy base class (ExchangeClient, order tracking, position management, NAV calculation, cleanup, etc.)

2. Orders Are Never Actually Placed
Location: dr_manhattan/strategies/weather_bot.py:205-212

The code has a comment admitting orders aren't actually placed. The create_order method is never called - it just increments counters.

Impact: This strategy will do nothing when run. It will search for markets, identify opportunities, but never execute any trades.

3. Non-Existent Exchange Method
Location: dr_manhattan/strategies/weather_bot.py:95-99

The Exchange base class does NOT have a search_markets method. The standard methods are fetch_markets(params), fetch_market(market_id), and fetch_markets_by_slug(slug).

Impact: This code will never find any markets because the method doesn't exist.

Code Quality Issues

5. Unused Imports - OrderSide is imported but never used since orders aren't actually created.

6. Type Hints - Tuple contents aren't documented. Consider using a NamedTuple or dataclass for clarity.

7. Position Tracking Without Actual Positions - Tracks theoretical positions in memory, but since orders are never placed, these don't reflect reality.

8. Regex Pattern Matching Issue - Pattern only captures temperature ranges with F (Fahrenheit). If markets use Celsius, they'll be missed.

Testing Issues

9. No Tests - No tests for this strategy. Need unit tests for regex pattern matching, bucket pricing analysis, and market search.

Performance & Security

11. Inefficient Market Search - Constantly re-searching for the same markets on every tick. Should cache results.

12. No Input Validation on Prices - No validation that prices are in valid range. Could lead to division by zero if target_price_min == target_price_max.

Recommended Actions

Before merging:

  1. Fix architectural issue - properly inherit from Strategy base class
  2. Implement actual order placement using create_order()
  3. Fix market search to use existing Exchange methods
  4. Add input validation for prices
  5. Add tests (at minimum, unit tests for market filtering)
  6. Remove unused imports

Positive Aspects

  • Good documentation in docstrings explaining the strategy
  • Clear separation of concerns
  • Configurable parameters with sensible defaults
  • Example file with CLI argument parsing

Overall Recommendation: Request Changes

This PR introduces non-functional code that violates the repository's architectural patterns. The strategy needs significant rework to actually place orders and properly integrate with the existing Strategy base class.

Please address the critical issues (1-3) at minimum before re-requesting review.
