Polyguard Trader Martin V1

What This Skill Does

PolyGuard Martin Pro is a specialized automated trading agent for the Polymarket prediction market platform. Designed for the OpenClaw ecosystem, it provides a transparent, local-first engine for executing conditional trades. Unlike cloud-based trading bots that may hide logic or track user behavior, this skill ensures that all price monitoring and decision-making logic resides entirely on your local machine. It connects exclusively to the official Polymarket API, ensuring that your trading strategy is executed exactly as configured without third-party interference or telemetry backdoors.

Installation

To integrate this skill, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Run the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ai-yuming/polyguard-trader-martin-v1 in your terminal. Once installed, navigate to your workspace directory and locate the config.yaml file. You must provide a flat list of keys: api_key for your Polymarket authentication, market_id for the specific event you are tracking, side (buy/sell), size (number of shares), max_price (the limit threshold), and poll_interval_seconds to define how frequently the agent polls the order book.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for traders who want to capture specific market opportunities without manually watching the screen. It works best for:

• Value Investing: Placing buy orders on favorable outcomes when the market price dips below a certain percentage.
• Profit Taking: Automatically exiting positions by setting sell triggers when the market price hits your target.
• Arbitrage Monitoring: Keeping an eye on price fluctuations in low-liquidity markets and executing size-limited orders when your specific criteria are met.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, start the PolyGuard trader for market 0x123... and let me know once a buy order is filled at my threshold."
2. "Update my config.yaml for PolyGuard to change the max_price to 0.65 for the current market and restart the monitor."
3. "Check the current status of the PolyGuard Martin V1 skill to see if the market price has met my criteria yet."

Tips & Limitations

Always double-check your market_id to ensure you aren't trading the wrong asset. Because this tool runs locally, ensure your computer remains awake and connected to the internet during active trading windows. Never share your api_key in public logs. Note that this skill does not include advanced risk management features like stop-losses beyond the initial price condition; you are responsible for monitoring your open positions and overall account balance periodically.
