Automated trading bot for Polymarket built for delta-momentum up/down market strategies.

The bot executes a custom strategy by buying shares in prediction markets. It monitors crypto price feeds, detects momentum spikes, and places orders on Polymarket up/down markets.

This repo is a distribution package — documentation, performance proof, and a ready-to-run Windows build. The proprietary strategy engine is not open-sourced; it is shared so traders who want to participate on Polymarket can run the same live system without building from source.

Download, configure, and run.
_{Pre-built binary · ~27 MB · same engine behind the track record below}

500-per-day-polymarket-bot.exe Place in any folder · double-click or run from Command Prompt

_{Run from CMD if Windows SmartScreen prompts you: 500-per-day-polymarket-bot.exe}

_{Native Mac build in progress — same one-click binary, no Node.js required.}

_{Shared to help Polymarket traders get started — not a full source release.}

Use this path if you want to run the TypeScript bot directly (Windows, macOS, or Linux) instead of the pre-built .exe.

• Node.js 20+ — nodejs.org or nvm install 20
• Git — clone this repo, or download and unzip the source

git clone <repo-url>
cd 500-per-day-polymarket-bot
npm install

On macOS/Linux you can use the Makefile instead:

make install    # npm install
make env        # copies .env.example → .env if missing

Secrets live in .env (never commit this file). Copy the template and fill in your wallet:

cp .env.example .env

On Windows (PowerShell): Copy-Item .env.example .env

Strategy and runtime settings are in config/default.yaml — assets, momentum thresholds, order size, risk limits, and API URLs. Edit this file to tune the bot; keep keys in .env only.

Paper trading (recommended first): leave defaults in .env:

DAWN_BOT__MODE=paper
DAWN_EXECUTION__ENABLED=false

Live trading: set DAWN_BOT__MODE=live, DAWN_EXECUTION__ENABLED=true, and fill in all execution credentials above.

Development — runs TypeScript directly with hot reload via tsx:

npm run bot
# or
npm run dev

Production — compile then run the built JavaScript:

npm run build
npm start

Makefile shortcuts (macOS/Linux):

make bot      # npm run bot -- --config config/default.yaml
make start    # build + node dist/index.js

Custom config file:

npm run bot -- --config path/to/my-config.yaml

On startup the bot syncs server time with Polymarket CLOB, connects to price feeds, and begins monitoring configured markets. Logs and trade data are written under data/ (see storage in config/default.yaml).

Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Live results from the strategy this bot automates — consistent execution across crypto up/down markets and event-driven positions.

All-time edge +$22K realized profit with a steady equity curve and documented high-conviction wins across sports, tech, and macro markets.	Live dashboard 900+ resolved predictions, $27K+ positions value, and a compounding PnL curve — the same execution stack this binary runs in production.
Daily momentum +$1,229 in a single session — delta-momentum entries firing on short-interval crypto up/down windows when price breaks threshold.	Battle-tested Competing in the Hive World Cup on a $500 bankroll — the same risk-adjusted sizing model in the default config.

• Automated buying based on custom strategy parameters
• Real-time execution on Polymarket
• Risk management and position sizing logic
• Easy to monitor and tweak via config.json
• Trade logging to trades.log and data/
• Designed for crypto up/down and prediction markets

On first run, the bot writes config.json next to the executable. Edit these fields before going live:

{
  "polymarket": {
    "private_key": "your_private_key",
    "proxy_wallet_address": "your_funder_address",
    "signature_type": 2
  },
  "strategy": {
    "symbols": ["btc", "eth", "sol"],
    "simulation_mode": true,
    "limit_price": 0.50,
    "trade_shares": 5
  }
}

Security: Keep config.json local. Never commit keys to Git or share screenshots with credentials visible.

The bot follows a delta-momentum + beat-cross strategy:

1. Track a live crypto price feed over a lookback window
2. Fire when |Δ| exceeds the per-asset USD threshold
3. Resolve UP vs DOWN using the beat price at market open
4. Place limit buys on Polymarket CLOB (auto-cancel if unfilled)

Tune thresholds in config.json under strategy.momentum — start conservative and scale after paper testing.
