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
Review this carefully before installing. Use paper mode first, avoid exposing a raw wallet private key unless you fully trust the runtime and dependency chain, set conservative limits using the variable names actually read by the code, and do not enable live cron or heartbeat trading unless you also have a clear stop/removal plan and separate credentials for this strategy.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
SIMMER_API_KEY, optional WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY, external market APIs, local config, and daily-spend state are generally expected for this purpose, but the credential and network scope is high-impact and not narrowly bounded in the artifact.
Install Mechanism
The manifest requires simmer-sdk>=0.17.32 and the documentation says to install simmer-sdk without an exact pinned version or hash, which is material because the SDK runs with trading credentials.
Instruction Scope
Dry-run is the default and live mode is disclosed, but the activation language is broad for a real-money trading skill and the documentation promotes live quiet cron or heartbeat operation without expiration or removal guidance.
Persistence & Privilege
The package itself has autostart false and no manifest cron, but SKILL.md explicitly documents persistent live schedules using cron, OpenClaw cron, and HEARTBEAT.md with --live --quiet.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose and core code align around Polymarket fast-market automation, but the skill can place live trades, redeem positions, and cancel open orders, including an overbroad cleanup path that may affect orders from other strategies.
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
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
