knownasnaffy BTC Momentum Trader
Trades Polymarket's "Bitcoin Up or Down" 5-minute sprint markets using real-time price momentum from Binance public API.
This is a template. The default signal is BTC/USDT price momentum from Binance — remix it with other CEX feeds (Coinbase, OKX, Bybit), different timeframes, or volume-weighted signals. The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, context checks, trade execution, safeguards). Your agent provides the alpha.
What it does
- Fetches live BTC price + recent candles from Binance (no API key needed)
- Calculates short-term momentum (EMA crossover + volume confirmation)
- Finds the next active "Bitcoin Up or Down" 5-min sprint market on Polymarket
- Checks context for slippage/flip-flop warnings
- Executes trade with reasoning — skips if edge < 5% or warnings present
