Polymarket Btc Weekend Volatility Trader
WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a disclosed Polymarket trading bot, but it can place real financial trades using an API key and can be managed as an automation, so it should be reviewed carefully before use.
Only install this if you intentionally want a Polymarket trading bot. Start in paper mode, do not pass --live unless you explicitly approve live trading, use a limited API key, pin/review the simmer-sdk dependency, and set conservative position limits.
Findings (5)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
If live mode is enabled, the agent could place Polymarket trades that may lose money.
This shows the skill has a live mode capable of real financial trading. Paper mode is a good safeguard, but once --live is used the artifacts do not show a separate per-trade approval barrier.
SAFE BY DEFAULT:\n- No --live flag = paper trading (venue="sim"), zero financial risk.\n- Cron/automaton runs default to paper mode.\n- Real trades only with explicit --live flag.
Use paper mode first, require explicit user approval before any live run, set low position limits, and monitor every trade.
A compromised or over-permissioned API key could allow unwanted trading or account access.
The skill requires a Simmer API key, which is expected for a trading integration but is sensitive because it may authorize account actions.
"requires": { "env": [ "SIMMER_API_KEY" ], "pip": [ "simmer-sdk" ] }Use the least-privileged key available, rotate it if exposed, and verify what account permissions SIMMER_API_KEY grants.
A future or tampered dependency version could change behavior in a skill that handles trading credentials.
The required Python package is not pinned to a version in the artifact, so the installed code could vary over time.
"pip": [ "simmer-sdk" ]
Pin and review the dependency version before running live trades.
If enabled, the bot may run unattended and make repeated trading decisions.
The skill can run as a managed automation, but it is not configured to autostart or run on a cron schedule by default.
"cron": null, "autostart": false, "automaton": { "managed": true, "entrypoint": "trader.py" }Keep autostart disabled unless you intentionally want automated operation, and confirm that live mode remains off for unattended runs.
Users may overestimate the reliability of the trading strategy and risk more money than intended.
The skill uses confident profit-oriented language about a trading edge, which may encourage trust in a strategy whose profitability is not verified by the artifacts.
Retail has no idea this distinction exists. The mispricing replenishes every single weekend.
Treat the strategy claims as unverified, backtest independently, and cap exposure to an amount you can afford to lose.
