Create Prediction Market Trigger

// Buy YES when price drops below threshold
const trigger = await triggers.create({
  type: 'entry',
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',

  triggerPrice: 0.40,
  size: 100,  // $100
  orderType: 'limit',  // 'market' | 'limit'
  limitPrice: 0.41,    // Optional: max price for limit
});

console.log(`Trigger ID: ${trigger.id}`);
console.log(`Status: ${trigger.status}`);  // 'pending'

// Sell when price rises above threshold
await triggers.create({
  type: 'exit',
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',

  symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
  side: 'long',
  direction: 'below',

  tokenIn: 'USDC',
  tokenOut: 'SOL',
  direction: 'below',
  triggerPrice: 180,
  size: 100,  // 100 USDC
  slippagePercent: 1,
});

  tokenIn: 'ETH',
  tokenOut: 'USDC',
  direction: 'above',
  triggerPrice: 4000,
  size: 0.5,
});

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

// Set stop-loss on existing position
await triggers.setStopLoss({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',
  triggerPrice: 0.35,
  size: 'all',
});

// Set take-profit
await triggers.setTakeProfit({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',
  triggerPrice: 0.65,
  size: 'all',

// Trailing stop (follows price up, triggers on pullback)
await triggers.setTrailingStop({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',
  trailPercent: 10,  // Trigger if drops 10% from high
  size: 'all',
});

Multi-Condition Triggers

// Trigger only when multiple conditions met
await triggers.create({
  type: 'entry',
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'will-trump-win-2028',
  side: 'YES',

  conditions: [
    { type: 'price', direction: 'below', value: 0.40 },
    { type: 'volume24h', direction: 'above', value: 100000 },
    { type: 'spread', direction: 'below', value: 0.02 },
  ],

  // All conditions must be true
  conditionLogic: 'AND',  // 'AND' | 'OR'

  size: 100,
});

One-Cancels-Other (OCO)

// OCO: Either SL or TP triggers, other cancels
const oco = await triggers.createOCO({
  platform: 'binance',
  symbol: 'BTCUSDT',

  stopLoss: {
    direction: 'below',
    triggerPrice: 93000,
    size: 'all',
  },

  takeProfit: {
    direction: 'above',
    triggerPrice: 105000,
    size: 'all',
  },
});

List & Manage Triggers

// List all triggers
const all = await triggers.list();

for (const t of all) {
  console.log(`${t.id}: ${t.platform} ${t.market || t.symbol}`);
  console.log(`  ${t.direction} ${t.triggerPrice}`);
  console.log(`  Status: ${t.status}`);
  console.log(`  Created: ${t.createdAt}`);
}

// Get pending only
const pending = await triggers.list({ status: 'pending' });

// Get history (triggered)
const history = await triggers.list({ status: 'triggered' });

// Cancel trigger
await triggers.cancel(triggerId);

// Cancel all
await triggers.cancelAll();

Event Handlers

// Trigger activated
triggers.on('triggered', async (trigger, result) => {
  console.log(`Trigger ${trigger.id} activated!`);
  console.log(`Order: ${result.orderId}`);
  console.log(`Fill price: ${result.fillPrice}`);
  console.log(`Size: ${result.filledSize}`);
});

// Trigger failed
triggers.on('failed', (trigger, error) => {
  console.error(`Trigger ${trigger.id} failed: ${error.message}`);
});

// Price approaching trigger
triggers.on('approaching', (trigger, currentPrice) => {
  console.log(`Price ${currentPrice} approaching trigger at ${trigger.triggerPrice}`);
});

Examples

Prediction Market Strategy

// Buy the dip, sell the rip
await triggers.create({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'trump-2028',
  side: 'YES',
  direction: 'below',
  triggerPrice: 0.40,
  size: 200,
});

await triggers.create({
  platform: 'polymarket',
  market: 'trump-2028',
  side: 'YES',
  direction: 'above',
  triggerPrice: 0.55,
  size: 'all',
});

Futures Breakout Strategy

// Enter long on breakout above resistance
await triggers.create({
  platform: 'binance',
  symbol: 'BTCUSDT',
  side: 'long',
  direction: 'above',
  triggerPrice: 100000,
  size: 0.5,
  leverage: 10,
  stopLoss: 98000,
  takeProfit: 110000,
});

DCA on Dips

// Buy more as price drops
const levels = [180, 170, 160, 150];
for (const price of levels) {
  await triggers.create({
    platform: 'jupiter',
    tokenOut: 'SOL',
    tokenIn: 'USDC',
    direction: 'below',
    triggerPrice: price,
    size: 50,  // $50 at each level
  });
}

Best Practices

1. Use limit orders — Avoid slippage on triggers
2. Set expiration — Don't leave triggers forever
3. Monitor execution — Check fill prices
4. Use OCO for exits — SL + TP together
5. Test with small size — Verify triggers work
6. Account for fees — Include in trigger price
