+## Summary
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Total Trades | 306 |
+| Active Period | 2025-12-29 → 2026-02-11 (45 days) |
+| Total Volume | $2,236,386 |
+| Avg Trade Size | $7,308 |
+| Max Single Trade | $125,000 |
+| Dominant Side | BUY (74%), mostly "No" outcomes (79%) |
+
+## PnL Verification
+
+**Claimed:** $1.6M in 57 days
+**Observed:** 45 days of activity, $2.2M volume. With avg buy price of 0.696 and heavy "No" betting on events that mostly haven't happened (Iran strikes, government shutdown), many positions likely resolved profitably at $1.00. The $1.6M claim is **plausible but unverifiable** from trade data alone — would need resolution data for each market.
+
+Key winning themes:
+- **Iran strikes "No"** — Repeatedly bought "No" on US strikes Iran across many date variants. These all resolved "No" = $1.00 payouts.
+- **Government shutdown** — $503K volume, likely profitable
+- **Fed chair nominations** — $316K volume on Kevin Warsh/Hassett
+
+## Trading Hour Distribution (EST) — ⚠️ CLAIM NOT VERIFIED
+
+**Claimed:** Trades 2-4 AM EST consistently
+
+**Actual distribution:** Trades are spread **11 AM - 10 PM EST**, peaking at 3 PM EST.

+
+Only 20 trades (6.5%) between midnight-3AM. The 2-4 AM claim is **FALSE**. This trader is active during normal US business/evening hours.
+
+## Market Preferences
+
+**Heavily concentrated in geopolitics/Iran:**
+- Iran/Geopolitics: 145 trades (47%)
+- AI markets: 59 trades (19%)
+- Other (shutdown, Greenland, Venezuela, sports): 99 trades (32%)
+- Trump/Politics: 3 trades (1%)
+
+**Strategy: "No" harvesting on time-bounded events.** Buys "No" on "Will X happen by [date]?" at 90-99¢, collects the 1-6% spread when events don't happen. This is essentially selling insurance against unlikely events.
+
+### Top Markets by Volume
+1. US government shutdown — $503K
+2. Khamenei out as Supreme Leader — $257K
+3. Trump nominates Kevin Warsh — $207K
+4. Seahawks vs Patriots — $125K
+5. US strikes Iran (multiple dates) — $500K+ combined
+
+## Position Sizing
+
+- **Average:** $7,308 per trade
+- **Typical range:** $1K-$30K
+- **Max:** $125,000 (single sports bet)
+- **Min:** $3.70
+- Frequently stacks into positions across multiple orders
+
+## Buy Price Distribution
+
+| Range | Count | % |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0.90-1.00 | 73 | 32% |
+| 0.80-0.90 | 29 | 13% |
+| 0.70-0.80 | 39 | 17% |
+| 0.60-0.70 | 24 | 11% |
+| 0.50-0.60 | 11 | 5% |
+| <0.50 | 51 | 22% |
+
+Average buy price: **$0.696**
+
+## Copy-Trade Viability Assessment
+
+### Pros
+- Clear, repeatable strategy (No-harvesting on time-bound events)
+- High volume = liquid markets, can follow
+- Diversified across multiple events within the same theme
+
+### Cons
+- **Capital intensive** — avg $7K per trade, needs significant bankroll
+- **Low margin** — buying No at 95-99¢ yields 1-5% return
+- **Strategy is mechanical** — could be replicated without copying; just sell insurance on time-bound geopolitical events
+- **Risk of catastrophic loss** — if Iran actually gets struck, the "No" positions go to zero
+- **Not as exciting as claimed** — normal trading hours, standard strategy
+
+### Verdict
+**Medium copy-trade value.** The strategy works but isn't alpha — it's a known risk premium harvest. The 2-4 AM claim being false raises credibility questions about whoever promoted this account. Better to understand the strategy and implement independently than blindly copy.
