Automatically trades BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP price prediction markets on Polymarket using short-term technical analysis signals.
How It Works
-
Signal Generation — Fetches OHLCV candles from Binance (public API, no key required) for each asset on the selected timeframe (5m or 15m). Computes RSI(14), MACD(12/26), and EMA(9/21) crossover.
-
Market Discovery — Queries the Polymarket Gamma API to find active, unclosed price prediction markets for the relevant asset expiring soon.
-
Order Placement — If signal confidence ≥
MIN_CONFIDENCE(default 60%), places a limit order on the soonest-expiring market:- BUY signal → buy YES tokens
- SELL signal → buy NO tokens
-
Billing — Each cycle deducts 0.001 USDT via SkillPay before executing. If balance is insufficient, a top-up link is returned.
-
Scheduler — Runs automatically every 5 or 15 minutes (set via
TRADE_TIMEFRAME).
