I've been building PolySnipe in my spare time — a bot that automatically trades Polymarket's short-duration BTC prediction markets (5-minute and 15-minute windows). The whole thing started because I wanted to trade these markets but they move way too fast to do it manually with any consistency.

Here's what it does and what I just shipped:

What I built A WebSocket-based bot written in Go that watches the order book and fires trades the moment a signal triggers. It runs headless on a VPS with 8 configurable strategies and a mobile web dashboard to keep an eye on things.

Just updated for Polymarket's April 28th changes Polymarket pushed a significant infrastructure update on the 28th — PolySnipe is fully compatible with CLOB v2 and handles the new pUSD token automatically. Winnings get redeemed and wrapped without any manual steps, staying liquid and ready for the next trade.

Recent additions I'm most proud of

• Dual market support — strategies can now run across both the 5-minute and 15-minute BTC markets simultaneously
• Per-strategy active hours — each strategy can define which days and hours it runs, so you're not forcing every setup into the same market conditions
• Per-tick backtesting with delay simulation — results actually reflect live conditions now

It's been a fun project to work on. Still actively building — next up is expanding beyond BTC markets.

You can check it out at PolySnipeBot.com if you're curious.

Happy to talk about the build, the Go architecture, or how the strategy system works!

Been building PolySnipe for a while — a bot that trades Polymarket's BTC prediction markets automatically. If you're not familiar: these are short-duration markets (5-min and 15-min windows) where you're predicting whether BTC will be higher or lower at close. Too fast to trade manually with any consistency.

Quick recap of what the bot does: watches the order book over WebSocket, fires on signals from 8 configurable strategies, runs headless on a VPS, and gives you a mobile web dashboard to monitor everything.

CLOB v2 ready — updated for Polymarket's April 28th changes Polymarket just pushed a significant update on the 28th and PolySnipe is already fully compatible. The bot runs on CLOB v2, so order execution and market interaction work exactly as expected post-update. No broken flows, no manual fixes needed on your end.

pUSD auto-redeem and wrap With Polymarket's move to pUSD, the bot now handles the token automatically. Winnings get redeemed and wrapped to pUSD without you touching anything — it just stays liquid and ready for the next trade. One less thing to manage manually between sessions.

15-minute BTC market support You can now run strategies across both the 5-minute and 15-minute BTC markets simultaneously. The two timeframes behave pretty differently — the 15-minute market is slower, less noisy, and tends to reward different setups than the 5-minute one. Having both means you're not forcing every strategy into the same conditions.

Active days and time-range per strategy Each strategy can now define exactly when it runs — which days of the week and which hours of the day. BTC volatility isn't uniform, and some strategies only make sense during certain windows (high-volume US hours vs. quiet Asian session, for example). Now you can tune each strategy to the conditions it was built for.

Combined, these updates make the bot both future-proof after Polymarket's infrastructure changes and more surgical in how it deploys capital. You can run an aggressive 5-minute scalp only during peak hours on weekdays, while a slower 15-minute setup runs around the clock — all from the same instance, all with pUSD handled automatically.

I know a lot of bot devs might have questions about the CLOB v2 migration and pUSD handling, feel free to ask and I'll help with what I can!

Two things just shipped that make it significantly more flexible:

15-minute BTC market support You can now run strategies across both the 5-minute and 15-minute BTC markets simultaneously. The two timeframes behave pretty differently — the 15-minute market is slower, less noisy, and tends to reward different setups than the 5-minute one. Having both means you're not forcing every strategy into the same conditions.

Active days and time-range per strategy Each strategy can now define exactly when it runs — which days of the week and which hours of the day. In practice this is a bigger deal than it sounds. BTC volatility isn't uniform across the day or week, and some strategies only make sense during certain windows (high-volume US hours vs. quiet Asian session, for example). Before this, you'd either run everything all the time or nothing at all. Now you can tune each strategy to the conditions it was built for.

Combined, these two updates make the bot a lot more surgical. You can run an aggressive 5-minute scalp strategy only during peak hours on weekdays, while a slower 15-minute setup runs around the clock — all from the same instance.

And I've been actively developing this bot for over 2 months now, and we just reached version 2.3 with the new 15 minute market support, so development isn't stopping, we still got ETH, XRP and SOL to add and many other features!
