Setup Guide

Pain Point

Manually monitoring prediction markets for arbitrage opportunities and executing trades is time-consuming and requires constant attention. You want to test and refine trading strategies without risking real capital.

Prediction markets move fast. Manual trading means missing opportunities, emotional decisions, and difficulty tracking what works. Testing strategies with real money risks losses before you understand market behavior.

What You Can Do

Continuous market scanning: Monitor prices, volume, and spreads via the Polymarket API.
Paper trade with custom strategies: Execute simulated trades using configurable strategies — no real money at risk.
Track portfolio performance: Log every trade with P&L, win rate, and strategy attribution.
Daily summaries: Wake up to a Discord/Telegram report of what it "traded" overnight, what worked, and what didn't.
Learn from patterns: Adjust strategy parameters based on backtesting results.

Built-in Strategies

Strategy	Logic	Entry Condition
TAIL	Follow trends when momentum is clear	>60% probability + volume spike
BONDING	Buy contrarian positions on overreactions	Sudden drop >10% on news
SPREAD	Identify mispriced markets	YES + NO > 1.05 (arbitrage)

Skills You Need

web_search or web_fetch for Polymarket API data
postgres or SQLite for trade logs and portfolio tracking
Discord/Telegram integration for daily reports
Cron jobs for continuous monitoring
Sub-agent spawning for parallel market analysis

How to Set It Up

1. Set Up the Database

Create tables for paper trading:

CREATE TABLE paper_trades (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  market_id TEXT,
  market_name TEXT,
  strategy TEXT,
  direction TEXT,
  entry_price DECIMAL,
  exit_price DECIMAL,
  quantity DECIMAL,
  pnl DECIMAL,
  timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

CREATE TABLE portfolio (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  total_value DECIMAL,
  cash DECIMAL,
  positions JSONB,
  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
);

2. Set Up Alert Channel

Create a Discord channel (e.g., #polymarket-autopilot) or configure a Telegram bot for daily updates.

3. Configure and Run

Use the "Full Paper Trading" prompt above, or start with "Simple Alerts" and graduate to the full system.

4. Iterate

Review performance summaries, adjust thresholds, add new strategies, and backtest against historical data.

Go to your Instances Dashboard and click Deploy New Instance
Once deployed, use the sample prompt above to configure your agent
Customize thresholds, schedules, and sources to fit your workflow

Why Pro? Parallel sub-agent spawning for multi-market analysis requires 4 GB RAM. Starter ($49/mo) works for simple single-market alerts, but concurrent research sessions need Pro.
