This is a new 5-part series. The last one mapped the August–early September changes. This one is about running the bot after those patches have been live long enough to hurt sloppy forks.
- Part 1 — Operator briefing: what is now “normal” (this post)
- Part 2 — Settlement hygiene: TWAP60 still the only paid 5m series
- Part 3 — Execution after delay, quotas, and CLOB incidents
- Part 4 — New surface vs core: Combos, agents, builder noise
- Part 5 — The September runbook for @abrownfox001
The Venue Is No Longer in Transition Theater
By mid-September 2026, the important 5m crypto facts are not rumors:
| Layer | Live normal |
|---|---|
| 5m / 15m / 4h crypto Up/Down | 60-second Chainlink TWAP |
| Official live path | Polymarket RTDS |
| Crypto taker delay | raised to 150ms on Sept 4 |
| CLOB access | volume-tier rate limits |
| Reliability | brief CLOB/API pauses happened; some wallets later received goodwill credits |
| New surface | Combos, Exa Connect, builder pitch programs |
“We will switch to TWAP next week” is no longer the story.
“Did your bot actually absorb the switch?” is the story.
What “Normal” Means for a Specialist Engine
@abrownfox001 is still not a platform-wide router. It is:
- BTC
- 5-minute
- 45–55¢
- TWAP-path forecast
- scratch on decay
- redeem the filtered book
That design only survives if three things stay true at the same time:
- The official series is pinned
- Taker delay and rate limits are in the logs, not in chat
- New products do not hijack
engine.ts
The public shell is the repo. The live read stays private. The activity tab is the audit trail.
The Failure Mode I Keep Seeing
Most broken forks did one upgrade and called it done.
| They changed | They left broken |
|---|---|
| Socket name to RTDS | Open still pinned from CEX |
| README says TWAP60 | Labels still snapshot / 30s |
| They know delay exists | They still cancel-spam |
| They heard about Combos | They reused 5m timers on RFQ |
| Agent API is live | Risk caps disappeared |
A mid-September bot that only renamed a feed is an August bot in a costume.
The Questions This Series Will Force
- Is every live 5m slot scoring the same 60s series it will settle on?
- After 150ms delay, is mid-band fill quality still good enough to scratch?
- Do 429s and stale open-order reads halt the slot or get ignored?
- Is Combos/agent work isolated from the 5m core?
- Can an outsider still recognize the account from fills: BTC, 5m, 50¢, later sells?
If the answer to (5) flips, the strategy changed. Write that down before the blog post.
Expected Tech Work From Here
Not a rewrite. A hardening pass:
- freshness hard-fail on RTDS
- post-Sept 4 fill/scratch metrics only
-
Retry-Afteras a first-class event - position reconciliation against Data API
- refuse mixed-window research notebooks
- keep Combos and agents off the production path
What Part 2 Covers
Settlement hygiene in production terms: how to prove a slot used TWAP60 at open and close, and how mixed windows still create fake edge two months after the announcement.
