Automation
From Strategy to Automated Execution
Three steps from a configured rule set to orders placed on your behalf.
Build the Strategy. The Bot Handles the Execution.
Set exactly when your bot can enter, how it manages risk, and when it exits. Every rule runs automatically against live Polymarket data.
Skip entries right after a sharp move or reversal in the side's price.
Only enter when the underlying's move falls within a configured range.
Buys the OPPOSITE side instead, once it qualifies.
Entry rules
Choose price ranges and exactly when the bot is allowed to enter.
Risk controls
Configure stop-loss, take-profit and timed exits independently.
Live market data
Rules are evaluated continuously against the current Polymarket market.
Paper first
Test the exact same strategy without risking real funds.
Entries That Skip the Noise
Beyond a simple price threshold, layer independent filters on top so a bot only enters once the setup actually looks right.
Candidate entries
Example- ETH 5mDOWN72¢price_out_of_range
- SOL 15mUP51¢past_min_entry_window
- BTC 15mDOWN44¢stale_order_book
- BTC 5mUP58¢ENTRY
One entry taken, three skipped — each with the reason recorded on the trade.
Momentum guard
Skip the spike
Holds off on entering right after a sharp move or reversal in the token's own price over a configurable lookback window, so the bot doesn't buy into a spike that's about to snap back.
Asset move filter
Confirm the move is real
Requires the underlying asset's move away from the round's reference price to fall within a configurable dollar range — a floor, a ceiling, or both — optionally in the same direction as the side being bought.
Invert side
Trade the fade
Once every filter above has qualified a side, flip the actual buy to the opposite side instead — for strategies built around fading the signal rather than following it.
Risk control
Stop-Loss That Doesn't Sell Into Noise
A stop-loss price alone can trigger on a brief wick. Add either — or both — of these independent confirmations before it actually closes the position.

Illustrative mechanism diagram — a fixed shape showing how confirmation changes the exit, not market data.
Full reversal confirmation
Wait for the flip
Only closes once the underlying asset has fully crossed to the other side of the round's reference price — not just dipped toward it.
Distance from Price to Beat
Or a smaller, faster signal
Closes once the underlying's current distance from the round's reference price has narrowed to a set number of dollars, without waiting for a full reversal. Independent of full confirmation above — enable either, or both, whichever fires first wins.
Trade Across Short-Interval Markets
PolyTrader bots trade fast-moving Polymarket prediction markets. Configure independent rules for each market and run them side by side.
Each bot is configured for one market and one window at a time. Sparklines are illustrative shapes, not market data.
Paper Trading vs. Live Execution
The same rules, the same market data — the difference is where the order ends up.
Prefer to Trade by Hand? Use the Terminal
The Terminal is PolyTrader's manual trading interface for BTC-5m rounds — buy or sell UP or DOWN yourself against the live Polymarket order book, with no bot configuration required. It reads the same live TWAP, Price to Beat and round countdown the automated bots trade against, runs in paper mode by default, and switches to real orders once your Polymarket credentials are verified.
- Buy or sell UP or DOWN by hand against the live bid/ask, no bot rules required
- Same live TWAP, Price to Beat and round countdown the bots trade against
- Paper by default — flip to live once your Polymarket credentials are verified
- Its own trade history and P&L, tracked separately from every bot preset
Hedging
Fork: Turn a Losing Side Into a Hedge
While a position is open, Fork can buy the opposite side too — turning what would be a simple win/loss into a hedge. Two mutually exclusive ways to trigger it, plus a lock-in the bot recognizes automatically.
Fork flow
Illustrative- DOWN price
- Configured Fork range
- Trigger
Primary position
Fork triggered
+$0.05 / pair locked
Shown only because the combined acquisition cost (95¢) actually falls below the $1 settlement payout — not every Fork locks a profit.
Price range mode
Buys the opposite side the instant its price falls into a configured range — a straightforward, immediate hedge.
Percent-move mode
Buys only once the opposite side has risen a set percentage above the price it stood at right after the primary entry filled — or gives up on it for good if it instead drops to a fixed price. Mutually exclusive with range mode.
Guaranteed-profit lock
If both legs together cost less than the guaranteed $1-per-share payout, the bot recognizes the lock-in automatically and holds both to settlement instead of risking an early exit that gives the profit back.
Built for Running Multiple Bots
Each preset runs on its own, with its own market, stake and risk settings.
Running bots
Example- BTC-5mPaperClosing position
- ETH-15mLiveLooking for an entry
- SOL-5mPaperLooking for an entry
- XRP-15mLiveManaging position
Free plans run one bot preset; Pro raises the limit to 10, each independent.
Independent bots
Run separate bots across different markets, each with its own stake, entry rules and risk settings.
Live status & control
Start, stop and monitor every bot's state from your dashboard, with paper and live runs shown separately.
Verified before going live
A live bot can't start until your Polymarket credentials have been saved and successfully verified.
Transparency
See Exactly How Your Bots Perform
Every closed trade records its entry, exit, cost basis and result, with paper and live P&L always kept separate — so a bot's win rate and realized P&L are never a guess.
No Black Box
Every skipped entry and every blocked Fork attempt is recorded with its actual reason — right on the trade's own history, not buried in a server log.
