Nice build. Running a trading bot through Telegram is actually a pretty clean UX for non technical users. And have you also experimented with starting the scan earlier than 210 seconds, or does that usually produce too many noisy signals on Polymarket?

Yes, I've tested scanning earlier. The first ~2 minutes of Polymarket's 5m markets are much noisier — thinner books, wider spreads, more random limit orders from retail. The best ask jumping above 0.95 is way less reliable as a signal there.

210s seems optimal because:

  • Liquidity builds up after the first 1-2 minutes
  • Big players/bots have positioned
  • The final 90s give a cleaner view of conviction before expiry

I did experiment with 120s and 150s offsets — entry rate went up ~30% but win rate dropped ~15% due to false positives. The current logic prioritizes signal quality over frequency, which fits the risk management better.

this is an arbitrage bot or what?

No, not an arbitrage bot — MrPoly5M is a directional momentum strategy on Polymarket's 5‑minute prediction markets.

How it works:

  • Watches the live order book for BTC Up/Down (or similar)
  • When best ask > threshold (e.g. 0.95) on one side, buys that outcome as a momentum play
  • Risk exits in final seconds if price drops against you (hedge + sell)

Arbitrage would look for:

  • Price discrepancies between Polymarket and other venues
  • Cross‑market arb between Up/Down tokens
  • Or instant buy/sell on the same side

MrPoly5M is simpler: betting on short-term implied probability spikes shown by the order book, with built‑in risk controls. Think microstructure momentum, not arb.
