Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: calculate 1m candle signals from Binance and place trades via Simmer when run with --live. Before installing: (1) Review and keep SIMMER_API_KEY secret — avoid embedding it plaintext in global crontabs; prefer a secure environment or a secrets manager. (2) Run in dry-run first to verify signals and behavior. (3) Confirm you trust the simmer-sdk package and the Simmer API endpoints; consider creating a restricted API key if Simmer supports scoped keys. (4) Clarify the two minor inconsistencies: the cron field in clawhub.json (implies periodic runs) and the undocumented TRADING_VENUE env var. (5) If you will run this on a server, inspect the full (untruncated) script to ensure the live path calls SimmerClient.trade() only in intended ways and that there are no further hidden network destinations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: polymarket-candle-momentum
Version: 2.0.0
The skill implements a legitimate crypto trading strategy for Polymarket fast markets using Binance candle data and the Simmer SDK. Analysis of candle_momentum.py shows it only interacts with official Binance and Simmer Markets APIs, and its behavior aligns perfectly with the documentation in SKILL.md. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized file access, or malicious execution was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise to trade Polymarket fast markets using Binance candle data; the package requires only simmer-sdk and requests and reads SIMMER_API_KEY. The code fetches Binance public klines and calls Simmer APIs to discover markets and (when --live) place trades. The requested dependencies and credential are proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the script limit operations to fetching public Binance klines, calling Simmer endpoints, computing signals, and calling SimmerClient.trade() in live mode. Minor discrepancies: the script reads an optional TRADING_VENUE env var (not documented in SKILL.md), and clawhub.json includes a cron schedule while automaton.managed is false (the README also says not auto-executing). These are configuration/metadata inconsistencies to clarify but don't indicate malicious behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install script; dependencies are standard pip packages (simmer-sdk, requests) declared in clawhub.json and SKILL.md. No external downloads, obfuscated installers, or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
Only SIMMER_API_KEY is required and declared; the script also supports documented CM_* override env vars for tuning. It also reads TRADING_VENUE (undocumented) and will include the API key in Authorization headers when calling Simmer REST endpoints. This is expected for a trading integration, but users should be aware TRADING_VENUE is an additional optional env var and should confirm its use.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and automaton.managed is false (no autonomous execution). However, clawhub.json contains a cron field (*/2 * * * *) which suggests the publisher expects periodic invocation; this contradicts the 'not auto-execute' claim and should be clarified. The skill does not modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)

/install polymarket-candle-momentum - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/polymarket-candle-momentum - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.0.0
Version 2.0.0 — Major update
- Clawhub.json file added or updated, likely for improved deployment or configuration management.
- candle_momentum.py updated, indicating core logic or skill behavior has been revised.
- No changes to the CLI, public configuration, security, or major documentation content.
- Typical reason for a major version bump: internal refactor, significant implementation changes, or compatibility update (consult release notes or code for specifics).
v1.6.4
polymarket-candle-momentum 1.6.4
- Version metadata updated to 1.6.4.
- Documentation refreshed in SKILL.md (no functional behavior changes noted).
- clawhub.json updated; no change in core trading logic.
v1.6.3
polymarket-candle-momentum v1.6.3
- Settings must now be configured via environment variables only; local file config is no longer supported.
- Updated documentation in SKILL.md to reflect the removal of local file persistence for settings.
- Internal adjustments for configuration management and code cleanup.
v1.6.2
- Updates SKILL.md to document that only SIMMER_API_KEY is required for operation; removes mention of WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY.
- Clarifies that live trading goes exclusively through SimmerClient.trade()—no direct CLOB/wallet access is needed or possible.
- Improves security documentation: script reads only SIMMER_API_KEY, does not access host files, and defaults to dry-run.
- Updates cron and setup instructions to match these changes.
- Expands configuration documentation and trade execution path for transparency.
v1.6.1
- Removed files: config.json and run.sh.
- Internal configuration and execution scripts are no longer included in the skill package.
- No changes to functionality or documentation.
v1.6.0
Polymarket Candle Momentum v1.6.0
- Now scans BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and BNB simultaneously and selects the strongest signal each cycle.
- Added config.json for customizable settings and run.sh for streamlined execution.
- Updated author and metadata in documentation.
- Documentation and code changes to support multi-asset scanning and improved usability.
v1.4.0
Fix metadata: document SIMMER_API_KEY, pip deps, trading warnings in SKILL.md
v1.3.0
Fix: removed managed:true and --live args from automaton. Dry-run by default, user controls execution.
v1.2.0
Fixed: use client.trade() instead of create_order(), yes/no sides, context check, singleton pattern
v1.1.0
Added singleton client pattern with venue=polymarket, context check before trading, fixed TRADE_SOURCE format
v1.0.0
Polymarket Candle Momentum v1.0.0
- Initial release: Trade Polymarket 5-minute crypto fast markets using 1-minute Binance candle body analysis and volume surge detection.
- Enters trades when the latest candle shows a strong body (>60% of range) and a 1.5x+ volume spike versus recent average.
- Backtested at 86%+ win rate on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and BNB over 3 months.
- Highly configurable via environment, JSON, or command-line with clear setup instructions.
- Includes CLI tools for dry runs, live trading, position/status checks, and config updates.
- Designed for easy remixing with additional indicators or custom logic by editing the core signal function.
