polymarket-manual-trade
Place manual trades on Polymarket by telling your agent what to bet on. Supports FAK (instant fill at market) and GTC (limit order on the book). Pass a Simmer market ID or a full Polymarket URL — the skill auto-imports and handles price discovery. Both FAK and GTC order types are fully tested and working.
Why use this skill?
Easily place FAK and GTC trades on Polymarket using the polymarket-manual-trade skill for OpenClaw. Features auto-market resolution, price discovery, and secure on-chain signing.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/djdyll/polymarket-manual-tradeWhat This Skill Does
The polymarket-manual-trade skill serves as a high-performance interface for traders to interact with Polymarket through an AI agent. It abstracts away the complexity of order books, wallet signing, and market resolution by allowing users to execute trades using natural language or CLI commands. Whether you are looking for instant liquidity via FAK (Fill-And-Kill) orders or wish to place strategic GTC (Good-Til-Cancelled) limit orders to enter positions at specific price points, this skill provides the necessary tooling. It features an automated market resolution engine that accepts both internal Simmer market IDs and raw Polymarket URLs, performing price discovery on the fly to ensure your orders are positioned optimally against the current CLOB (Central Limit Order Book).
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the simmer-sdk (version 0.8.32 or higher) installed. Then, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/djdyll/polymarket-manual-trade
Ensure your environment variables SIMMER_API_KEY and WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY are securely configured, as the agent requires these to authenticate with the Simmer API and sign transactions on-chain.
Use Cases
- Scalping/Momentum Trading: Use FAK orders to aggressively enter positions during high-volatility events where speed is paramount.
- Value Investing: Set GTC limit orders at lower price levels to accumulate shares in a market you believe is undervalued.
- Portfolio Management: Rapidly hedge or diversify your portfolio by pointing the agent at multiple event URLs throughout the day.
Example Prompts
- "Buy YES $50 on https://polymarket.com/event/will-it-rain-tomorrow"
- "Place a GTC limit NO $100 at 0.45 on market id 54321"
- "Execute a dry run for a $20 YES bet on the latest crypto debate market"
Tips & Limitations
- Price Discovery: FAK orders default to
best_ask + 0.01to ensure execution. Be mindful of slippage in low-liquidity markets. - Dry Run: Always use the
--dry-runflag when experimenting with new markets to verify the agent's intent before spending capital. - Security: Never share your
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEYin plain text. Use a dedicated environment manager to handle credentials securely. - Liquidity: Limit orders (GTC) will remain on the book until filled or manually cancelled; monitor your open positions periodically to manage risk.
