Why I’m Open-Sourcing My $500/Day Polymarket Bot (And Why You Should Try It)

Adam Daniels — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:44:55 +0000

Polymarket’s growth has been insane, but most traders still miss the best momentum opportunities because they’re glued to charts.

I decided to fix that for myself — and now for others.

After building and refining a delta-momentum bot that targets consistent daily gains on crypto prediction markets, I chose to release it publicly.

What You’re Getting

A battle-tested system with +$22K track record
Easy setup (even for non-tech users)
Simulation mode so you don’t risk money while learning
Clean code and documentation

This isn’t another hype bot. It’s the exact tool I use, packaged with the same config and risk settings I run live.

My goal is simple: help more people trade smarter on Polymarket instead of emotionally.

If you’ve been looking for an edge on BTC/ETH/SOL up-down markets, this might be the push you need.

Building a Production-Ready Polymarket Bot: Delta-Momentum + CLOB Execution

Adam Daniels — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:41:34 +0000

For developers and quantitative traders: here’s a clean, production-oriented Polymarket bot built around delta-momentum logic.

Core Architecture

Live price feed integration (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
Configurable momentum detection engine
Direct interaction with Polymarket’s Central Limit Order Book
Modular design with easy strategy swapping

Features for Serious Users

Simulation mode with realistic slippage modeling
JSON-based configuration (no hardcoding)
Comprehensive logging + CSV export
Risk controls and dynamic position sizing
Windows executable for easy deployment

I’ve battle-tested it through high-volatility periods and competitions. The equity curve has stayed remarkably clean with proper threshold tuning.

Whether you want to run it as-is or fork it to test your own ideas, the foundation is solid and well-documented.

Full source + Windows build available here:

Would love to see what improvements the community makes!

Adam Daniels — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:33:00 +0000

I’ve been running a momentum-based Polymarket bot for months now, and the numbers are speaking for themselves.

Live Track Record:

+$22,000 realized profit
Highest single session: +$1,229
900+ resolved trades
Strong performance on crypto Up/Down markets

The strategy focuses on catching clear delta-momentum bursts in BTC, ETH, SOL and similar assets, then executing fast on Polymarket’s order book.

What started as a small experiment on a $500 bankroll has turned into a consistent system I’m now open-sourcing.

Why It Works

Real-time price monitoring
Momentum threshold detection
Smart limit order execution
Built-in risk and position management

The full package includes everything: Windows build, simulation mode, detailed logs, and easy config.

If you’re serious about scaling on Polymarket, this gives you a proven foundation to build on.

I Made My First Polymarket Bot – Here’s the $500/Day Setup I’m Sharing (No Coding Required)

Adam Daniels — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:21:45 +0000

After months of manual trading on Polymarket, I got tired of missing fast momentum moves on BTC, ETH, and SOL. So I built a bot that does the heavy lifting.

The best part? I packaged it so even non-developers can run it in under 10 minutes.

What the bot does

It watches live crypto price action, detects strong momentum spikes, and automatically places trades on the matching Up/Down Polymarket contracts using a clean delta-momentum logic.

Key Highlights

Ready-to-run Windows executable (no Python install needed)
Built-in simulation mode – test everything with fake money first
Simple config.json for adjusting trade size, symbols, and thresholds
Full logging and equity tracking

Real Results So Far

$22,000 realized profit • Multiple $1,000+ days • Consistent performance across 900+ resolved markets.

Super Simple Setup

Download from GitHub
Run once → config file appears
Add your Polymarket details
Start in simulation mode
Go live when ready

If you’ve ever wanted to automate your Polymarket trading without becoming a programmer, this is for you.

Trading involves risk. Start small and always use simulation mode first.

How I Built (and Share) a Delta-Momentum Polymarket Bot Aiming for $500/Day on Crypto Up/Down Markets

Adam Daniels — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 17:24:54 +0000

I've been trading on Polymarket for a while, focusing on short-term crypto momentum plays. After refining a delta-momentum + beat-cross strategy, I packaged it into a ready-to-run tool so other traders can test and run the same system.

The core idea is simple but powerful:

Monitor live price feeds for BTC, ETH, SOL (and others).
Detect significant momentum spikes (USD delta thresholds over a lookback window).
Automatically resolve direction using the opening "beat" price.
Place limit buys on corresponding Polymarket up/down markets.

This isn't random betting — it's systematic edge-hunting on high-frequency prediction markets.

Key Features

Real-time monitoring and execution on Polymarket's CLOB.
Built-in risk management and position sizing.
Configurable via config.json (symbols, thresholds, trade size, simulation mode).
Detailed logging for trades and performance.
Designed specifically for crypto momentum and event-driven prediction markets.

Proven Track Record

The strategy behind this bot has delivered strong results in live conditions:

+$22K realized profit all-time with a steady equity curve.
High-conviction wins across sports, tech, and macro events.
Single-session highs like +$1,229 on momentum bursts.
Battle-tested in competitions (e.g., Hive World Cup on a $500 starting bankroll).
900+ resolved predictions and compounding PnL on the live dashboard.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always paper trade first.

Quick Start Guide

Download the ready package from the repo.
Run once → it auto-generates config.json.
Add your Polymarket wallet details (private key, proxy address).
Start in simulation_mode: true to test safely.
Switch to live when you're comfortable and tweak momentum thresholds conservatively.

Security note: Never share keys or commit them anywhere.

Why Share This?

Polymarket is exploding, and manual trading can't keep up with momentum windows. This gives traders a plug-and-play way to participate with a proven framework — while keeping the proprietary engine logic private.
