Trading Settings (config.json)

{
  "wallets_to_track": [
    "0x33f6d97080e5215eb2cf679531496ace0330e0de"
  ],
  "mode": "proportional",           // Sizing mode
  "min_stake": 7,                   // Minimum trade size (USDC)
  "max_stake": 300,                 // Maximum trade size (USDC)
  "max_buys_per_token": 3,          // Max positions per token
  "cooldown_minutes": 30,           // Rebuy cooldown period
  "stop_loss_percent": 15,          // Trailing stop % (default)

}

Configuration Parameters

📖 How It Works

Trading Flow

1. Monitor — Bot polls tracked wallets every 5 seconds for new trades
2. Analyze — Validates trade against position limits and cooldown rules
3. Size — Calculates proportional stake based on balance ratio
4. Execute — Places market order matching whale's side (BUY/SELL)
5. Track — Monitors position for take-profit opportunities
6. Exit — Automatically sells when profit target or stop-loss triggers

Take-Profit Logic

1. Position reaches +15% profit → Start tracking
2. Price continues up → Update trailing stop to track new peaks
3. If price drops 15% from peak → Trigger stop-loss
4. Place limit order 2% below current price
5. If order not filled → Update price or emergency exit

Position Management

• Multiple Buys: Bot can buy same token up to 3 times (configurable)
• Cooldown Protection: 30-minute cooldown prevents rapid rebuying
• Per-Wallet Tracking: Sells only match specific wallet's position
• State Persistence: Tracking survives bot restarts

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Order failed: invalid amounts"

• Fixed in latest version with proper decimal rounding
• Rebuild: npm run build

"Not enough balance"

• Check balance: npm run balance
• Deposit more USDC to Polymarket
• Lower min_stake in config.json

"Position likely closed"

• Take-profit already executed by smart contract
• Position was manually closed on Polymarket
• Bot will auto-cleanup tracking

"502/503 CLOB errors"

• Automatic retry logic handles temporary API issues
• If persistent, check Polymarket API status

💡 Tips

• Start with min_stake: 7 and max_stake: 50 until comfortable
• Enable stop-loss initially: stop_loss_enabled: true
