Why Speed Matters
In prediction markets, prices move fast. When a whale buys:
| Delay | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 0-1 second | Same price as trader |
| 2-5 seconds | Price already moved 1-3% |
| 10+ seconds | Significant slippage |
| Minutes | Opportunity often gone |
Faster execution = better prices = higher profits
