Autonomous Polymarket prediction market trading agent. Scans markets, evaluates probabilities with LLM, sizes positions with Kelly criterion, and executes trades via CLOB API. Use when user wants to trade on Polymarket, set up automated prediction market trading, or build a trading bot. Supports cron-based autonomous operation, P&L tracking, and budget management.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Fully autonomous prediction market trading agent for Polymarket. Evaluates markets using LLM probability estimation, sizes positions with Kelly criterion, and executes trades via the Polymarket CLOB API from a non-US VPS.
Non-US VPS โ Polymarket blocks US IPs. Use DigitalOcean Amsterdam, Hetzner EU, etc. Polygon wallet with USDC.e (bridged USDC, NOT native USDC) MATIC for gas (~0.1 MATIC sufficient for hundreds of trades) Anthropic API key (uses Haiku at ~$0.001/evaluation)
SSH into your non-US VPS and run: python3 {baseDir}/scripts/setup_vps.sh Or manually: apt update && apt install -y python3 python3-venv python3 -m venv /opt/trader /opt/trader/bin/pip install py-clob-client python-dotenv web3 requests
Create /opt/trader/app/.env: PRIVATE_KEY=<your-polygon-wallet-private-key> LLM_API_KEY=<your-anthropic-api-key>
Before trading, approve USDC.e and CTF tokens for Polymarket contracts. Run: python3 {baseDir}/scripts/approve_contracts.py Required approvals (6 total): USDC.e โ CTF Exchange, Neg Risk Exchange, Neg Risk Adapter CTF โ CTF Exchange, Neg Risk Exchange, Neg Risk Adapter
cp {baseDir}/scripts/run_trade.py /opt/trader/app/ cp {baseDir}/scripts/pnl_tracker.py /opt/trader/app/
crontab -e # Add: */10 * * * * cd /opt/trader/app && /opt/trader/bin/python3 run_trade.py >> cron.log 2>&1
Market Scan โ Fetches active markets from Gamma API, filters by liquidity and time horizon LLM Evaluation โ Asks Claude Haiku to estimate true probability for each market Edge Detection โ Compares LLM fair value vs market price (min 5% edge threshold) Kelly Sizing โ Half-Kelly criterion with 25% max position size cap Order Execution โ Places limit orders via CLOB API with GTC (good-till-cancelled) Dedup โ Tracks all trades in trades.jsonl, skips already-traded markets Budget Control โ Tracks LLM inference costs separately from trading capital
Configurable in run_trade.py: EDGE_THRESHOLD โ Minimum edge to trade (default: 0.05 = 5%) MIN_SHARES โ Minimum order size (Polymarket requires โฅ5 shares) Bankroll allocation: 80% usable, 25% max per trade, 30% cap per single position Market horizon: Prioritizes markets ending within 30 days
Check P&L anytime: python3 /opt/trader/app/pnl_tracker.py Check recent activity: tail -50 /opt/trader/app/cron.log
Wallet type: EOA (signature_type=0), NOT proxy wallet Token: USDC.e (0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174), not native USDC Neg-risk markets (elections, sports leagues) require USDC.e approval for Neg Risk Adapter (0xd91E80cF2E7be2e162c6513ceD06f1dD0dA35296) US geoblock โ All API calls must originate from non-US IP. VPN insufficient; use actual non-US VPS.
LLM inference: ~$0.001 per market evaluation (Haiku) Typical cycle (40 evals): ~$0.04 Gas: negligible on Polygon (~$0.001 per trade)
Use a DEDICATED wallet with minimal funds. Never use your main wallet's private key. Create a fresh wallet and fund it only with what you're willing to risk. PRIVATE_KEY is stored on disk in .env. Harden your VPS: strict file permissions (chmod 600 .env), no shared access, firewall, SSH keys only. MAX_UINT approvals are standard in DeFi but grant broad spending rights. The approved contracts are official Polymarket contracts. Review addresses in references/contract-addresses.md before running. Test with tiny amounts first ($5-10) before scaling up. Monitor actively โ check cron.log and run pnl_tracker.py regularly. LLM_API_KEY billing โ each cycle costs ~$0.04 (Haiku). Set billing alerts on your Anthropic account. This is autonomous trading software. Bugs or market conditions can cause losses. Use at your own risk.
