Aion Test Skill

Automated Polymarket trading skill based on price momentum signals—executes trades when market trends are detected

Momentum Polymarket Trader

An automated trading skill that executes trades on Polymarket based on price momentum and market trend signals.

Features

• 🎯 Automatically monitors opportunity markets on Polymarket
• 📊 Analyzes price momentum and trend signals
• ⚠️ Built-in risk management and flip-flop detection
• 🔄 Auto-redeems winnings from resolved markets
• 📝 Detailed reasoning logs for every trade

How It Works

This skill runs every 15 minutes and:

1. Fetches Market Briefing - Gets current opportunity markets from AION API
2. Risk Check - Checks for risk alerts; pauses trading if any exist
3. Market Analysis - For each candidate market:
   • Fetches market context and trading discipline data
   • Calculates price momentum indicators
   • Evaluates trading edge
4. Executes Trades - Trades when positive edge is found with no warnings
5. Auto-Redeems - Periodically redeems winnings from resolved markets

Remixable Template

This is a customizable template. The default signal is based on simple price momentum — you can replace it with:

• Different technical indicators (RSI, MACD, etc.)
• Machine learning model predictions
• External data sources (news, social media sentiment, etc.)
• Custom market scoring algorithms

The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, order execution, position management, safeguards). Your agent provides the alpha — just replace the calculate_signal() function.

Configuration

Required Environment Variables

• AION_API_KEY - Your AION SDK API key (get from https://pm-t1.bxingupdate.com/agents)

Optional Environment Variables

• WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY - Only needed for external-wallet self-custody trading
• POLYGON_RPC_URL - Custom Polygon RPC endpoint (optional)
• MAX_POSITION_SIZE - Maximum position per market (default: 10 USDC)
• MIN_EDGE_THRESHOLD - Minimum edge threshold for trading (default: 0.05, i.e., 5%)

Running Modes

Dry-run Mode (Default)

bash

python momentum_trader.py

This simulates trades without executing real orders.

Live Trading Mode

bash

python momentum_trader.py --live

⚠️ Warning: This executes trades with real funds!

Customizing Signals

Edit the calculate_signal() function in momentum_trader.py to implement your trading strategy:

python

def calculate_signal(market_data, context):
    """
    Replace this function to implement your custom signal logic
    
    Returns:
    - side: "yes" or "no" or None (no trade)
    - confidence: confidence level between 0-1
    - reasoning: human-readable trade rationale
    """
    # Your custom logic here
    pass

Risk Management

This skill includes multiple layers of protection:

1. Flip-flop detection - Avoids frequent position reversals
2. Slippage estimation - Reduces trade size in high-slippage markets
3. Risk alert checks - Pauses trading when account-level risks are detected
4. Position limits - Maximum exposure per market
5. Edge validation - Only trades when expected edge exceeds threshold

Monitoring & Logs

Skill output includes:

• Risk status summary
• Decision for each market (TRADE, HOLD, SKIP)
• Position changes and order updates
• Trade execution results
