After live mode is enabled, the bot can spend real funds on Polymarket trades without asking before each trade.
Once a strategy status becomes live, the scheduled worker can call the trading command automatically rather than just recording a dry-run order.
dry_run = strategy.get("status") != "live" ... else: ... ["python3", os.path.join(SCRIPTS_DIR, "polymarket.py"), "trade", trade_token, "BUY", str(size)]Only use live mode with a low-funded wallet, explicit per-strategy and total loss limits, and a clear process to pause or disable trading jobs.
Anyone who obtains the stored private key or API credentials may be able to act on the associated Polymarket wallet/account.
The skill loads a wallet private key and API credentials to build a Polymarket trading client, which is expected for the bot but grants high-impact account authority.
private_key = config.get("private_key") ... client = ClobClient(HOST, chain_id=CHAIN_ID, key=private_key, creds=creds, funder=funder)Use a dedicated wallet with limited funds, protect credential files, rotate credentials if exposed, and avoid using a primary wallet.
The bot may keep scanning and, if live mode is active, trading on a schedule until the cron entries are removed or the strategy is paused.
The documented setup installs a recurring cron job that continues running the strategy worker every 15 minutes.
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "*/15 * * * * USER_ID=$TELEGRAM_USER_ID python3 $SKILL_PATH/scripts/signal_cron.py $STRATEGY_ID >> $SKILL_PATH/state/$TELEGRAM_USER_ID.$STRATEGY_ID.log 2>&1") | crontab -
Review crontab before enabling this skill, document and test a stop/uninstall command, and remove cron entries when you no longer want automated trading.
Installing the dependency this way may affect other Python software or pull a version different from what the skill was tested with.
The skill relies on an unpinned external Python package and suggests installing it with a flag that can modify the system Python environment.
Run: pip3 install py-clob-client --break-system-packages
Install dependencies in a virtual environment, pin reviewed versions, and avoid `--break-system-packages` unless you understand the system-level impact.
