# Forebench

> Forebench is an early-access platform for Polymarket historical data and realistic strategy backtesting.

Canonical website: https://forebench.com/

## What Forebench is building

- Standardized historical Polymarket market metadata, prices, trades, order books, liquidity, and settlement data.
- Reproducible strategy backtests with explicit assumptions for fees, spread, slippage, latency, fills, and capital lock-up.
- Research-ready reports covering returns, drawdowns, reversals, capital usage, and trade-level results.
- Infrastructure for prediction-market researchers, quantitative traders, developers, and teams evaluating AI prediction agents.

## Current status

Forebench is in early access. The public website collects research interests and beta applications. Product capabilities described as being built are not yet represented as generally available.

## First research study

The first planned public study asks whether buying markets priced at or above 95 cents within 24 hours of resolution remains profitable after realistic execution costs and reversal risk. Any chart labelled “hypotheses to test” is illustrative and is not a published result.
