Why use this skill?
Automate BTC 5-minute sprint market trades on Polymarket using real-time CEX price momentum signals with the FastLoop AI agent.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/johnjerry8749/polymarket-fast-loop-1-0-6What This Skill Does
The Polymarket FastLoop Trader is a specialized automation agent designed for the high-frequency environment of Polymarket’s sprint markets. It bridges the gap between centralized exchange (CEX) price momentum and decentralized prediction market odds. By utilizing the Simmer API to fetch real-time Binance klines for major assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL, the skill identifies discrepancies between current market price trends and the implied probabilities on Polymarket. When a divergence is detected that exceeds the user-defined threshold, the script triggers an automated trade. It is designed for execution cycles, allowing users to run it via cron jobs, loop heartbeat triggers, or manual interval execution. It handles position sizing and market monitoring, effectively turning your agent into a systematic market maker for short-term crypto sprints.
Installation
- Install the skill directly into your OpenClaw environment using the CLI command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/johnjerry8749/polymarket-fast-loop-1-0-6. - Obtain your Simmer API key from the Simmer dashboard under the SDK tab.
- Export the key as an environment variable:
export SIMMER_API_KEY="your-key-here". - Configure your preferences by running the initialization script or editing the
config.jsonfile. You can adjust parameters likeentry_threshold,max_position, andassetusing the--setcommand-line flags provided in the utility.
Use Cases
- Automated Sprint Trading: Ideal for users looking to capitalize on 5-minute or 15-minute BTC/ETH volatility without manual monitoring.
- Arbitrage Strategy Development: Use this as a baseline to layer in more complex sentiment analysis or news-based signals before committing capital.
- Portfolio Management: Automate consistent micro-trades to grow USDC holdings through high-frequency probability divergence capture.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, install the Polymarket FastLoop skill and set the max position size to 10 USDC for BTC trades."
- "Configure my fast-loop trader to monitor ETH markets with a momentum threshold of 0.05 and run it in dry-run mode for the next hour."
- "Show me the current status of my Polymarket FastLoop automation and confirm if the Simmer API connection is active."
Tips & Limitations
- Fee Awareness: Polymarket imposes a 10% fee on fast market contracts. Always ensure your entry divergence is significantly larger than the fee structure to remain profitable.
- Dry-Run Default: The skill defaults to a simulation mode. Use the
--liveflag only when your strategy is fully backtested and you are comfortable risking real USDC. - Scheduling: This skill does not run itself; it requires a host scheduler like
cron. Ensure your environment has stable network access to maintain the heartbeat connection to the Simmer API for fresh price data.
