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...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intentionally want an automated Polymarket trading agent. Use dry-run first, prefer a managed wallet or a tightly funded dedicated wallet, never paste a main-wallet private key into chat or plaintext config, and avoid live cron loops until budget, position size, and stop conditions are explicitly acceptable.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose and implementation align: it discovers Polymarket fast markets, reads crypto price signals, and trades through the Simmer SDK. The capability is high impact because it can execute real USDC trades, cancel prior orders, and auto-redeem positions when run with --live.
Instruction Scope
The skill defaults to dry-run and documents --live, but its activation text includes broad short-term crypto automation language, and the setup flow tells the agent to ask for a wallet private key for live trading. Cron and heartbeat examples can repeatedly run live trading every 1 or 5 minutes.
Install Mechanism
Installation is disclosed as pip install simmer-sdk plus local skill files; clawhub.json has autostart false. The external SDK is central to signing and trade execution, so users must trust that dependency and its secret handling.
Credentials
SIMMER_API_KEY is expected for this integration, and WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY is purpose-aligned for self-custody trading, but raw wallet private keys are extremely sensitive and the artifacts give only functional handling notes rather than strong warnings or a hardened secret-management flow.
Persistence & Privilege
There is no hidden persistence, but the documentation explicitly encourages persistent live cron or heartbeat loops. The script also writes daily_spend.json and can keep mutating trading state while the loop remains installed.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install polymarket-fast-loop - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-fast-loop - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
