What This Skill Does

The simmer-signalsniper skill is a powerful automation agent designed for Polymarket users who want to bridge the gap between real-time news and market execution. By monitoring RSS feeds for specific keywords, the agent automatically evaluates incoming news against target markets. It integrates Trading Agent-grade safeguards—including position awareness, flip-flop detection, slippage estimation, and time-decay analysis—to ensure that every potential trade is vetted before execution. It acts as an autonomous layer between global news feeds and your Polymarket portfolio, allowing you to react to volatile events faster than manual trading allows.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adlai88/simmer-signalsniper

Ensure your API credentials are configured in your environment variables to allow the script to interact with the Simmer SDK base URL (https://api.simmer.markets). Configuration is managed through environment variables like SIMMER_SNIPER_FEEDS and SIMMER_SNIPER_KEYWORDS, allowing for persistent background execution.

Use Cases

• Breaking News Arbitrage: Monitor high-frequency news feeds for specific geopolitical events and automatically execute trades on corresponding binary markets.
• Portfolio Protection: Use the automated safeguards to prevent opening redundant positions or over-exposing capital in low-liquidity markets.
• Trend Following: Configure keywords related to specific public figures or market events to track sentiment changes across multiple RSS-enabled news outlets.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the status of my current Polymarket positions and let me know if any are nearing resolution."
2. "Start watching the CNN and Reuters RSS feeds for any mentions of interest rates and link them to the Federal Reserve interest rate market."
3. "Run a scan on my configured feeds to see if there are any opportunities to trade on the latest polling data with a confidence threshold of 0.8."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: Always run with the --dry-run flag first to verify that your keyword filters are performing as expected without risking capital.
• Constraints: Note that Polymarket imposes a minimum of 5 shares per order; the agent will reject trades that fall below this threshold.
• Confidence Scoring: Adjust the SIMMER_SNIPER_CONFIDENCE variable. A higher threshold reduces the number of trades but increases the probability of higher quality entries.
• Maintenance: Regularly use python signal_sniper.py --config to ensure your active feeds and keywords are up to date with your current trading strategy.
