What This Skill Does

The Simmer Copytrading skill is a specialized automation tool designed for the Polymarket ecosystem. It enables users to programmatically mirror the positions of successful "whale" traders by leveraging the Simmer SDK. Instead of manually tracking individual accounts, this skill aggregates positions across multiple wallets using a size-weighted methodology. It intelligently identifies market discrepancies—such as when one tracked wallet is long on 'YES' and another is long on 'NO'—to prevent conflicting trades. The agent manages the entire lifecycle, from fetching raw wallet data via the Simmer API, applying top-N filtering to maximize conviction, and executing rebalance trades while respecting pre-defined spending caps and risk thresholds. It acts as an autonomous portfolio manager that keeps your Polymarket exposure aligned with top-performing market participants.

Use Cases

• Passive Yield Generation: Automatically mirror successful speculators to capitalize on market insights without needing to conduct individual research.
• Portfolio Diversification: Track multiple top traders to balance your portfolio risk across various prediction markets.
• Strategic Tracking: Quickly audit what a specific whale wallet is holding to inform your own manual trading decisions.
• Automated Rebalancing: Maintain your target allocation in prediction markets through periodic, systematic scans and adjustments.

Example Prompts

1. "Copytrade the following whale wallet: 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 and set a max of $20 per position."
2. "Check the current positions of the whale at 0x9876543210fedcba9876543210fedcba98765432 and run a dry-run to see what trades would be made."
3. "Follow these three whale addresses and start a recurring scan with a $100 spending limit: 0xabc..., 0xdef..., 0xghi..."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: Always use the --dry-run flag before enabling live trading. This allows you to inspect proposed orders without committing capital.
• Risk Management: Utilize the SIMMER_COPYTRADING_MAX_USD environment variable to ensure you don't over-allocate funds if a whale makes a high-risk move.
• Dust Filtering: The SDK automatically filters positions worth less than $1.00 to avoid excessive transaction fees on low-value assets.
• Market Conflict: The agent is designed to skip markets where tracked wallets hold conflicting positions. Ensure you are aware that this may reduce your exposure if the wallets you follow have highly divergent strategies.
