Beyond Forecasting: The Belief-to-Trade Layer in Prediction-Market Agents

Researchers introduced Raven-Agent, the first autonomous trading agent for prediction markets, which achieved the only positive return and positive risk-adjusted return among tested policies in controlled replays over archived decision sets. The agent bridges the gap between calibrated probability forecasts and actual trading results by incorporating a belief-to-trade layer.

Abstract:Forecasting future events has attracted growing attention as a testbed for general-purpose AI. A natural way to ground this evaluation is let the models trade in the prediction markets. Trading, however, requires more than forecasting. Moreover, recent benchmarks report a substantial gap between calibrated probability scores and the trading results. We propose Raven-Agent, to the best of our knowledge, the first autonomous trading agent for prediction markets. On a controlled replay over an archived decision set, our architecture achieves the only positive return and the only positive risk-adjusted return among all tested policies. We have released our code in[this https URL].
