Trading Playbook - Proven Patterns

Auto-Trading (auto.py)

from auto import *

# Follow whale trades > $5K (dry run first!)
whale_follow(min_usd=5000, bet=5, max_trades=5)

# Real trades
whale_follow(min_usd=5000, bet=5, dry_run=False)

# Top volume markets
top_volume_bet(bet=5, count=3)

# Elon/tweet markets
elon_volume_bet(bet=5, count=3)

# Find opportunities (high vol, low price)
scan_opportunities(min_volume=500000, max_price=0.25)

Quick Lookups

Find Market ID from Name/Slug

# From slug (fastest)
resp = requests.get(f'https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/markets?slug={slug}')
market_id = resp.json()[0]['id']

# From condition ID
resp = requests.get(f'https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/markets?condition_id={cond_id}')

Top Volume Markets

url = 'https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/markets?limit=20&order=volume24hr&ascending=false&active=true&closed=false'
# Filter: price > 2¢ and < 98¢ to skip resolved

Recent Large Trades

resp = requests.get('https://data-api.polymarket.com/trades?limit=200')
# Has: side, price, size, title, conditionId, slug
# USD value = price * size

Order Management

Find Orders by Market

orders = get_open_orders()
# Group by asset_id prefix (first 20 chars)
# Known prefixes:
#   81376898... = Elon 420-439
#   66924366... = Elon 380-399
#   62845222... = Elon 400-419

Cancel + Replace Pattern

# 1. Get orders by asset prefix
orders_target = [o for o in orders if o['asset_id'].startswith('PREFIX')]
# 2. Cancel each with 0.3s delay
for o in orders_target:
    cancel_order(o['id'])
    time.sleep(0.3)
# 3. Wait 3s for settlement
# 4. Place new orders

Market Buy ($X worth)

prices = get_best_prices(market_id)
ask = prices['best_ask']
shares = int(budget / ask)
place_order(market_id, 'BUY', ask, shares)

Display Formats

# Price: 35¢ not 0.35
f"{price*100:.0f}¢"

# Volume
if vol >= 1_000_000: f"${vol/1_000_000:.1f}M"
elif vol >= 1_000: f"${vol/1_000:.0f}K"

Elon Market IDs (Jan 16-23, 2026)

360-379: 1172391 (asset: ?)
380-399: 1172392 (asset: 66924366...)
400-419: 1172393 (asset: 62845222...)
420-439: 1172394 (asset: 81376898...)

Common Errors

  • "not enough balance/allowance" → reduce size, shares locked in pending orders
  • Empty orderbook → market resolved or inactive
  • Stale positions API → trust user over API (1-5 min delay)
