Polymarket trading bot

The Polymarket trading bot that runs while you sleep.

Ghost Trader automates Polymarket trading around the clock. Copy-trade wallets you trust or run a crypto latency strategy, with a hosted dashboard, Telegram alerts and hard risk limits. Our licensed runner trades from your own wallet, so your keys and funds never leave your control.

How it works

How the Polymarket bot works, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Subscribe and sign in

    Start a monthly subscription and sign in to the hosted dashboard. Your account holds your license key, your settings and your Telegram alerts.

  2. 02

    Start the runner

    Run the Ghost runner, a licensed container you start on your own computer or VPS. It signs orders with your own Polygon wallet, so your keys never leave your machine.

  3. 03

    Pick a strategy and your limits

    Choose copy trading or the crypto latency strategy, then set trade size, the open-position cap and your loss limits. Begin in paper mode.

  4. 04

    Watch it work

    Follow signals, trades, open positions and kill-switch status in the dashboard, and get Telegram alerts on your phone. Switch to live trading only when you are ready.

Hosted by usDashboard + alerts

Signals, history, settings and your license, behind your login.

Runs on your machineLicensed runner

Signs orders locally with your wallet and checks the license, never sending your key.

On-chainPolymarket

Orders go straight to the Polymarket order book from your own wallet.

Two engines

Copy trading and crypto up/down strategies.

Follow proven wallets

Copy trading

Pick a Polymarket wallet whose public track record you have checked. The runner mirrors its entries automatically, sized to your own limits: sports, politics, crypto, whatever that wallet trades.

Momentum signals

Crypto latency

Tracks exchange prices for selected assets (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and BNB by default) against Polymarket’s short-term up/down markets. It only trades large, confirmed moves that clear your edge and confidence thresholds, and when several signals point the same way it takes just one position.

Features

Everything you need to run it seriously.

Hosted web dashboard

Sign in from any browser to see signals, open positions with time remaining, recent trades, P&L, drawdown, kill-switch status and live market odds. You have nothing to host yourself.

Telegram alerts

Get a ping when a signal fires, a trade is placed or fails, a market resolves, a drawdown threshold is hit or the kill switch trips.

Licensed runner

A ready-to-run container. There is nothing to compile and nothing to code. It checks your subscription and keeps trading only while it’s active.

Self-custody

The runner signs with your wallet on your machine. We never hold your keys or your funds, and they never pass through our servers.

Paper mode included

Run the full pipeline with simulated fills before risking a dollar. Live trading stays off until you turn it on explicitly.

Risk controls

Set min and max trade size and a cap on open positions. Sizing uses fractional Kelly. A daily-loss kill switch halts trading for the day, and drawdown alerts warn you before it trips.

Automatic settlement tracking

The runner watches for markets to resolve and settles each trade in your dashboard and P&L. You redeem winning live positions on polymarket.com.

Runs 24/7

Prediction markets never close. Keep the runner on a small VPS and it watches, sizes and places orders while you sleep, retrying failed orders.

Who it’s for

Built for traders who want control.

A good fit if

  • You already trade on Polymarket and want it automated instead of refreshing tabs.
  • You follow sharp wallets and want their entries mirrored without the delay.
  • You can start a container on a computer or VPS, or are happy to follow a step-by-step guide.
  • You want to keep custody of your funds rather than deposit them with a bot service.

Not for you if

  • You want guaranteed returns. There are none.
  • You can’t afford to lose the money you would trade with.
  • You live in the US or anywhere else Polymarket blocks or restricts trading.
  • You want the source code. The runner is licensed, not sold.

FAQ

Polymarket bot FAQ.

What does the subscription include?

For $199 a month you get the hosted dashboard, Telegram alerts, and a license for the Ghost runner, which you run with your own wallet. Paper mode and every risk control come with it, and so do runner updates for as long as you’re subscribed.

Do I get the source code?

No. Ghost is a hosted service plus a licensed runner distributed as a container. You never need to edit code. Everything is configured from the dashboard and a settings file.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel whenever you like, and your access runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the dashboard is locked and the runner stops placing trades.

What happens if my subscription lapses?

The runner checks your license regularly and stops trading if it’s no longer active, and the dashboard goes behind the paywall. Any positions you already hold stay in your own wallet, and you can manage them directly on Polymarket. Renew and you pick up where you left off.

Do you ever hold my funds or keys?

No. The runner lives on your machine and signs orders locally with your wallet, and your private key stays in a file on that machine. The license check uses your license key, never your private key. Use a dedicated trading wallet that only holds what you plan to trade.

What do I need to run it?

You need a computer or small VPS that can run a container (a VPS lets it run 24/7), a Polygon wallet funded with Polymarket’s USDC-backed collateral (pUSD) and a little POL for gas, and a Telegram account if you want alerts. The setup guide walks you through all of it.

Can I try it without risking money?

Yes. Paper mode runs the full pipeline with simulated fills, so you can watch how it behaves before you go live. When you do switch, start with small, fixed trade sizes.

Will it make money?

We can’t promise that, and nobody honestly can. Prediction markets are risky and you can lose everything you trade. A wallet’s or strategy’s past results don’t predict its future ones.

Can I use Ghost Trader in the US?

No. The runner trades Polymarket’s international order book, which is close-only for US users, so Ghost Trader isn’t available to US residents.

Can I use it from my country?

Polymarket blocks or restricts trading in a number of countries, and Ghost Trader isn’t available in any of them. You’re responsible for checking that you may legally use Polymarket where you live. Don’t subscribe or use Ghost Trader to get around those restrictions, for example with a VPN or an offshore server.

How do I pay?

Subscriptions aren’t open yet. Join the waitlist and you’ll get an email when sign-ups open. Payment will go through Stripe.

Risk disclosure

Not financial advice. Ghost Trader is software and a data service. Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and no one here is acting as your advisor or broker.

Prediction markets are risky. Automated trading can lose money quickly, including all of the funds you trade with. Bugs, network or API outages, slippage, fees, illiquid markets and unexpected resolutions can all cause losses. Only trade money you can afford to lose.

Past performance is no guarantee. Backtests and any wallet’s or strategy’s past results do not predict future results. No return or profit is promised or implied.

Geographic restrictions apply. Polymarket restricts access in some jurisdictions. You are solely responsible for confirming that using Polymarket and this service is legal where you live, and for complying with all applicable laws and taxes. Don’t use it to get around those restrictions.

You control the keys. The runner uses your wallet’s private key on your own machine. Keeping that machine and key secure is your responsibility. Use a dedicated wallet holding only what you plan to trade.

Ghost Trader is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Polymarket.
