Description

Trade Polymarket BTC 5-minute and 15-minute fast markets using CEX price momentum signals via Simmer API. Default signal is Binance BTC/USDT klines. Use when user wants to trade sprint/fast markets, automate short-term crypto trading, or use CEX momentum as a Polymarket signal.

Usage Guidance

Install only after reviewing the live-order behavior. Before providing a wallet key or using --live, fix or disable the stale GTC cleanup so it cancels only orders definitively tagged by this skill, pin the exact reviewed simmer-sdk version, and run first in dry-run or an isolated account with small limits. Avoid unattended cron live trading until those issues are addressed.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Credentials

SIMMER_API_KEY and optional WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY are proportionate for the stated trading function and are disclosed. Network access to Simmer, Polymarket, and Binance is expected for market discovery, pricing, and trade execution, but users should isolate these credentials because the skill has real-money authority.

⚠ Install Mechanism

Installation is simple and has no autostart, but the manifest allows simmer-sdk>=0.17.32 while the setup instructions use an unconstrained pip install for a security-critical SDK that may handle API keys, wallet signing, market import, and live trades.

⚠ Instruction Scope

The instructions disclose real USDC trading, the wallet private key requirement for live trading, and cron/heartbeat operation. The cancellation ownership boundary is under-scoped compared with the source-tagging model, and there is no separate confirmation at the actual live order or cancellation point.

⚠ Persistence & Privilege

There is no hidden OS persistence or autostart; cron/heartbeat scheduling is user-directed, and local writes are limited to config and daily_spend tracking. The privileged live client can place trades, auto-redeem, and cancel orders, with the stale-order cancellation logic overbroad for the skill's ownership boundary.

⚠ Purpose & Capability

The core purpose, automated fast-market trading with dry-run default and explicit --live for real funds, is coherent and disclosed. However, live GTC cleanup treats any open order whose question contains "up or down" as owned by the skill, which can cancel unrelated manual or strategy orders visible to the same trading client.

Version History

v1.7.4

**Minor update with maintenance and cleanup.** - Bumped version to 1.7.4. - Updated documentation in SKILL.md (no functional/behavioral changes described). - Removed obsolete skill-card.md file.

v1.7.3

CORRECTION to the 1.7.1 release note. No code change in this version. 1.7.1 said the inverted book read skipped liquid markets 'while trading near-empty ones'. The second half was wrong: worst-ask minus worst-bid is always >= the touch spread, so the gate could only ever be too STRICT, never too loose - over-trading was not a reachable outcome. Measured on 96 live books, the old read rejected 96 of 96 where a correct read passes 24: about 25 percent of tradeable books skipped, and ZERO thin books wrongly traded. The harm was missed opportunity, not adverse selection. Your past fills were not affected.

v1.7.2

Fail closed when the order book cannot be fetched. A failed book fetch previously skipped the liquidity gate and traded anyway; the skill now skips the trade and records a book unavailable skip reason.

v1.7.1

Fix inverted book-liquidity gate: sort the CLOB book before reading best bid/ask. The book returns bids LOW-HIGH and asks HIGH-LOW, so index [0] was the worst price on each side - the spread gate computed the full book width and skipped liquid markets as illiquid while trading near-empty ones. Depth now sums the five levels nearest the touch.

v1.7.0

**Adds optional news-recency veto to skip trades after major scheduled news events.** - New setting: `enable_news_veto` (default: false). When enabled, skips matching fast markets within 30 seconds of scheduled macro/news releases. - News veto covers events like CPI, BLS jobs/unemployment, FOMC, nonfarm payrolls, and quarterly earnings. - Updated SKILL.md with news veto documentation and setting details. - Removed obsolete `skill-card.md` file.

v1.6.6

SIM-2374: align tunable env-var names between clawhub.json and CONFIG_SCHEMA

v1.6.4

**Changelog for version 1.6.4** - Updated explanation of Polymarket fast market fees in the documentation, clarifying the new taker (3.5%–6.6%) and maker (-20% rebate) structure. - Improved accuracy and transparency regarding fee calculations and their impact on trade edge. - No code or logic changes; update is documentation only.

v1.6.3

Migrate Gamma fallback path to /markets/keyset (Polymarket deprecation deadline May 1, 2026).

v1.6.2

Version 1.6.2 - Updated version metadata to 1.6.2. - Minor documentation updates and formatting improvements in SKILL.md. - No breaking changes to core trading logic or configuration.

v1.6.1

V2 migration (2026-04-28): updated troubleshooting copy to point users at the Wrap USDC.e → pUSD flow at simmer.markets/dashboard + docs.simmer.markets/v2-migration. Also refines clawhub.json envVars schema (WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY now correctly optional for managed-wallet users).

v1.5.5

Schema fix: primaryEnv + envVars with required:false for optional credentials. Clears OpenClaw 'disproportionate requirements' verdict.

v1.5.4

Declare WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY in requires.env for OpenClaw moderation alignment.

v1.5.3

Add pip install simmer-sdk to setup flow

v1.5.2

Add auto_redeem() call at start of each cycle for external wallet support
