Overview
Polymarket AutoTrader (Premium) is an automated BTC 5‑minute prediction market trading bot that monitors real‑time BTC prices and trades Polymarket 5‑minute markets.
Polymarket AutoTrader (Premium) is an automated BTC 5‑minute prediction market trading bot that monitors real‑time BTC prices and trades Polymarket 5‑minute markets. It triggers when BTC moves ≥$50 in the final 30 seconds of a slot and places FOK (Fill‑or‑Kill) orders on the predicted winning side at $0.92–$0.95, targeting 5–8% profit per correct trade; historical signals report >92% win rate. Key features: configurable environment variables (POLY_PRIVATE_KEY, POLY_WALLET_ADDRESS, optional RPC/CLOB/size/thresholds), 2× position sizing on strong (≥$100) signals, built‑in billing (0.001 USDT/trade), local logs (.poly-creds.json, trades.json), and connections to Polymarket CLOB, Binance price feed, Gamma API, and skillpay.me. Use cases include automated short‑term prediction trading, strategy execution, and backtesting deployment. Core advantages are low‑slippage FOK execution, rapid last‑second momentum capture, and recommended operational isolation for security.

How this skill works
Polymarket AutoTrader (Premium) is an automated BTC 5‑minute prediction market trading bot that monitors real‑time BTC prices and trades Polymarket 5‑minute markets.
Polymarket AutoTrader (Premium)
BTC 5-minute prediction auto-trading bot — 92%+ historical win rate, 5-8% profit per trade, fully automated.
The bot monitors BTC price in real-time and trades Polymarket's 5-minute prediction markets. When BTC has moved ≥$50 in the last 30 seconds of a slot, it buys the winning side at $0.92-0.95. Winning shares pay $1.00 — that's 5-8% profit per correct trade. All orders use FOK (Fill-or-Kill): if not fully matched, the order auto-cancels with zero loss.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Historical win rate | >92% (with $50+ signal) |
| Profit per trade | 5.3-8.7% ($0.92-0.95 entry → $1.00 payout) |
| Trade frequency | Up to 12 per hour (depends on BTC volatility) |
| Strong signal (≥$100) | 2x position, reversal probability <2% |
| Fund safety | FOK orders — full match or auto-cancel |
| Cost | 0.001 USDT per trade (built-in billing) |
⚠️ Security Notice
- Use a DEDICATED Polygon wallet with limited funds. Do NOT use your main wallet.
- Run in an isolated environment (Docker/VM recommended).
- Review the source code (
scripts/bot.js) before running. - The bot writes
.poly-creds.json(derived API credentials, sensitive) andtrades.json(trade log) locally.
External Connections
| Service | URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Polymarket CLOB | clob.polymarket.com | Order placement |
| Binance | api.binance.com | BTC price feed |
| Gamma API | gamma-api.polymarket.com | Market metadata |
| Billing | skillpay.me | Per-trade billing |
How It Works
- Monitor (0–270s): Track BTC price vs. 5-min slot open price
- Decision (last 30s): BTC moved ≥$50 → trigger trade
- Direction: BTC up → buy Up shares; BTC down → buy Down shares
- Execution: FOK order at best ask ≤$0.95
- Settlement: Polymarket auto-settles — winners get $1.00/share
Why it works: When BTC already moved $50+ with only 30 seconds left, full reversal probability is <5%. We buy at $0.92-0.95, win pays $1.00.

Quick Start
cd <skill-dir>/scripts
npm install
export POLY_PRIVATE_KEY=your_wallet_private_key
export POLY_WALLET_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress
node bot.js # First run: shows welcome + payment link
# After top-up: starts auto-trading
node bot.js stats # View statistics
node bot.js balance # Check token balance
First run flow: The bot auto-detects zero token balance and outputs structured data:
PAYMENT_URL:<url>— a PayTheFly on-chain payment link. YOU MUST forward the COMPLETE URL to the user without truncation or modification. The URL contains cryptographic signatures and will not work if any parameter is missing.PAYMENT_INFO:<text>— human-readable explanation to show the user.- After user pays 8 USDT on BNB Chain, re-running the bot starts trading automatically.
