Overview

This kit automates trading on Polymarket's 5-minute crypto up or down markets. It focuses on a short span before each round settles rather than trading the full period. You configure risk limits, credentials, and venue parameters in environment variables, deploy the runtime on hardware you control, and use simulation plus the buyer checklists before increasing size. Built-in guards reduce activity when data or the book looks stale, volatility is extreme, or configured loss limits are hit. Prediction markets can mean total loss of capital; simulation does not guarantee live results. This is software, not financial advice.

What you get

  • ·Scalp runtime scoped to Polymarket-style 5-minute crypto up/down rounds and a pre-settlement trading window
  • ·Near-settlement logic: settlement-aligned price inputs, live order book, optional extra volatility context where the build provides it
  • ·Simulation mode, configurable limits per trade and round, optional alerts, buyer-only deploy and env documentation
  • ·Detailed logs for reviewing what the software evaluated and did

Why choose this kit

  • ·Scope is clear: a short pre-settlement window, settlement-aligned price inputs, live order book checks, and room to practice before size.
  • ·Simulation, guards for stale data and rough markets, configurable limits, and logs you can review after each session.

How it compares

  • 15m Scalp Shell

    Polymarket 15-minute up/down rounds with a near-settlement window and the fuller doc set. Most buyers start there unless they specifically want 5m cycles.

  • 1h Scalp Shell

    Same scalp family with one-hour rounds when you want a longer cycle than 5m.

  • Mean Reversion 5m Shell

    Different strategy. Mean Reversion trades on price bands, not settlement timing.
