polymarket-copytrading

What This Skill Does

The polymarket-copytrading skill acts as a sophisticated bridge between your OpenClaw agent and the Simmer API, enabling automated mirroring of successful Polymarket trader activity. This skill abstracts away the complexities of interacting with blockchain-based prediction markets by providing a streamlined interface to track, analyze, and mimic whale wallets. By utilizing size-weighted allocation strategies, the agent automatically determines the appropriate exposure to match the target traders' risk profiles, allowing for passive management of prediction market portfolios. It handles the essential plumbing, including wallet fetching, trade execution logic, and automatic dust-filtering, ensuring your agent only mirrors meaningful positions.

Installation

To integrate this capability into your environment, use the OpenClaw hub CLI tool: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adlai88/polymarket-copytrading

Once installed, ensure your SIMMER_API_KEY is configured in your environment variables to grant the agent authorized access to the Simmer SDK. You may also define persistent target wallets via the SIMMER_COPYTRADING_WALLETS environment variable for automated, recurring execution.

Use Cases

• Automated Whale Tracking: Observe and mirror high-performing traders from public leaderboards like predicting.top.
• Strategy Testing: Use the --dry-run flag in conjunction with $SIM tokens to perform risk-free paper trading before committing real capital.
• Portfolio Diversification: Programmatically distribute capital across a wide range of Polymarket events based on the collective behavior of multiple top-tier addresses.
• Real-time Monitoring: Quickly inspect the holdings of specific addresses to validate their market sentiment during high-volatility events.

Example Prompts

• "Copytrade this wallet: 0x1234...abcd using my current balance."
• "What are the current positions of 0x5678...efgh and are they profitable?"
• "Follow these three whale wallets and start a dry-run copytrading session to test their strategy."

Tips & Limitations

Always start with conservative settings to mitigate risk. Use the --max-usd flag to cap individual position sizes, especially during initial testing. Remember that Polymarket imposes a minimum of 5 shares per order, and the SDK automatically filters out dust positions below $1.00. Use the status.py script frequently to audit your active mirror positions. As with all automated financial strategies, ensure you understand the volatility of the prediction markets you are interacting with; the agent's performance is strictly tied to the accuracy and behavior of the wallets you choose to mirror.
