Open-source Polymarket-CopyTrading-Arbitrage-Bot-500usd-Daily

I open-sourced Polymarket-CopyTrading-Arbitrage-Bot-500usd-Daily for developers in Open-source developer tools. This post walks through what it does, how the pieces fit together, and how to run it locally.

Live demo / site: https://polymarket.com/@pmtraderadam?via=pmtraderadam

Why I built this

Explore pm copy trader patterns in open-source developer tools
Fork the repo as a starter template for your own project
Contribute features, docs, or tests via pull requests

Most tutorials stop at a smart contract or a UI mockup. I wanted a complete vertical slice — wallet flow, on-chain logic, backend state, and a responsive frontend — so you can study or fork a production-shaped codebase.

What it does

Late-window favorite snipe on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP 5m Up/Down markets
Live Polymarket price polling (Gamma + CLOB APIs)
Simulated entry/exit with P/L tracking
One position per asset per window (max 4 concurrent)
Tunable constants in src/index.ts
Runtime logs to console and logs.txt
Automated copy-trading strategy execution
Tunable constants in src/index.ts

Architecture at a glance

Application layer — TypeScript backend/frontend tying on-chain and off-chain flows
Feature — Late-window favorite snipe on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP 5m Up/Down markets
Feature — Live Polymarket price polling (Gamma + CLOB APIs)
Feature — Simulated entry/exit with P/L tracking

User Wallet  →  On-chain Program  →  VRF / Settlement
                    ↓
              Backend (API + WebSockets)  →  MongoDB / state
                    ↓
                 Frontend UI (real-time)

How I Built a $500/Day Polymarket Trading Bot: Delta-Momentum Strategy with Pre-Built Binaries for Windows, Linux & macOS

Adam Daniels — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 19:31:35 +0000

Automated crypto up/down prediction market bot for Polymarket. Full setup guide, live track record, and ready-to-run executables. No Node.js required for quick start.

Introduction

Prediction markets like Polymarket have exploded in popularity for crypto, events, and macro bets. Manual trading works, but consistent edge comes from speed and discipline. That's why I open-sourced the distribution package for PMTraderAdamBot — a production-ready delta-momentum bot targeting $500+ daily potential on Polymarket up/down markets.

The repo provides pre-built binaries (Windows, Linux, macOS) so anyone can run the exact system behind a verified +$22K profit track record — without needing the full proprietary source.

GitHub: https://github.com/PMTraderAdam/pm-adam-trader

What is PMTraderAdamBot?

It's an automated trading bot that:

Monitors real-time crypto price feeds (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
Detects momentum spikes using delta thresholds
Places limit buys on Polymarket CLOB for UP/DOWN contracts
Includes built-in risk management and position sizing

Core Strategy (Delta-Momentum + Beat-Cross):

Track price over a lookback window
Trigger when absolute delta exceeds per-asset USD threshold
Resolve direction using beat price at open
Execute limit orders (auto-cancel if unfilled)

The full strategy engine internals stay proprietary, but the repo ships everything needed to run the live system.

Key Features

Cross-platform binaries — ~6-10MB zips, no Node.js for end users
Simulation mode first (paper trading)
Configurable via simple config.json or YAML
Real-time logging and trade history
CLOB execution support for live Polymarket orders
Risk limits, order sizing, and multiple symbols out of the box

Track Record & Performance

The bot automates a strategy with proven results:

All-time: +$22K realized profit with steady equity curve
Single session: +$1,229 on momentum plays
900+ resolved predictions, $27K+ position value
Battle-tested in Hive World Cup on small bankrolls

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

Quick Start Guide (Easiest Way)

Download the zip for your platform from the /bin folder:
- Windows x86_64
- Linux x86_64
- macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon)
Unzip anywhere.
Run the binary once → it auto-generates config.json.
Add your Polymarket wallet credentials.
Set simulation_mode: true for testing.
Run again — bot connects and starts trading.

Windows example: Just double-click the .exe (approve SmartScreen if needed).

Linux/macOS: chmod +x then run the binary.

Full instructions, including source build with Node.js 20+, are in the README.

Configuration Highlights

{
  "polymarket": {
    "private_key": "your_private_key",
    "proxy_wallet_address": "your_funder_address"
  },
  "strategy": {
    "symbols": ["btc", "eth", "sol"],
    "simulation_mode": true,
    "limit_price": 0.50,
    "trade_shares": 5
  }
}

Tune momentum thresholds, symbols, sizes, and more. Keep keys local and never commit them.

Why This Repo?

Most trading bots require heavy setup or full source access. This one prioritizes accessibility:

Pre-built for non-developers
Source available for tinkerers (TypeScript)
Clear separation: binaries + docs public, core logic protected

Great for Polymarket traders looking for momentum automation on crypto events.

Disclaimer & Risk Warning

Trading prediction markets carries substantial risk of loss. This is provided as-is for educational/personal use. Start small, use simulation mode, and understand the risks. The authors are not responsible for any losses.
