| description | Trades Polymarket crypto prediction markets (Solana, Bitcoin, Ethereum) using CoinGecko momentum signals. Buys YES when bullish markets are underpriced vs price trend, NO when overpriced. Runs on Simmer with built-in context checks for flip-flop detection and slippage. Use when trading crypto prediction markets based on price momentum. |

Permission Setup Review
python scripts/_wildcard_placeholder.py is an optional setup helper for the SOL/Crypto Momentum Trader 🔮 skill. It may apply broad filesystem permissions for compatibility. Show the target paths and permission mode, explain the risk, and prefer a narrower mode when shared write access is not needed.
SOL/Crypto Momentum Trader 🔮
Scans Polymarket for Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum prediction markets where the current market price diverges from CoinGecko momentum signals — and trades the gap.
This is a template. The default signal is CoinGecko 24h/7d price change — remix it with your own price feed, CEX funding rates, on-chain data, or any directional signal. The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, edge scoring, context checks, trade execution). Your agent provides the alpha.
Strategy
- Fetch 24h and 7d price change for SOL, BTC, ETH from CoinGecko (free, no API key needed)
- Compute a directional momentum signal: weighted blend of 24h (60%) and 7d (40%) change, normalized to ±1 at ±20% move
- Scan active Polymarket markets matching
solana, bitcoin, ethereum, crypto
- Detect whether each market's question is bullish or bearish framing
- Score divergence:
edge = |expected_prob − market_prob|
- Buy
YES or NO on markets where edge exceeds threshold (default 8%)
- Check Simmer context before each trade — skip on flip-flop warnings, high slippage, or HOLD recommendation
- Tag all trades with
skill_slug for per-skill volume attribution on Simmer
Requirements
SIMMER_API_KEY — your Simmer agent API keysimmer-sdk — installed via pip (see clawhub.json)requests — for CoinGecko API calls- No CoinGecko API key needed (free public endpoint)
Configuration
All config via environment variables — no code edits needed:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
SIMMER_API_KEY | required | Your Simmer agent API key |
TRADING_VENUE | sim | sim (paper), polymarket (real USDC), kalshi (real USD) |
TRADE_AMOUNT_USD | 10.0 | USD per trade |
DIVERGENCE_THRESHOLD | 0.08 | Min edge to trade (8% = 0.08) |
MAX_TRADES_PER_RUN | 3 | Max trades per cron cycle |
Running
pip install simmer-sdk requests
python strategy.py
python strategy.py --live
The script defaults to dry-run mode. Pass --live explicitly to execute real trades. When run via ClawHub automaton, set TRADING_VENUE=polymarket (or sim) in your environment — the --live flag is handled automatically by the automaton entrypoint.
Remix Ideas
Swap the signal source:
- Replace CoinGecko with Binance/Bybit REST API for real-time price + funding rate
- Use on-chain Solana data (epoch rewards, validator stake changes) as a signal
- Pull sentiment from Twitter/Reddit via a simple keyword count API
Tune the strategy:
- Lower
DIVERGENCE_THRESHOLD to 5% to trade more aggressively
- Increase
TRADE_AMOUNT_USD once you've validated edge on Simmer ($SIM)
- Add a volume filter to skip illiquid markets
Extend asset coverage:
- Add
"sui", "bnb", "matic" to the COINGECKO_IDS mapping
- Point at Kalshi crypto markets: set
venue="kalshi" and import markets first
Layer signals:
- Run the script twice per cycle with different signals, average the outputs
- Add a momentum confirmation filter (only trade if 1h and 24h align)
Safety Rails
Built-in safeguards (via Simmer context endpoint):
- Flip-flop detection — skips markets where your agent has been reversing positions
- Slippage check — skips markets where estimated slippage > 15%
- Edge analysis — respects
HOLD recommendations from Simmer's context engine
- Simmer default limits — $100/trade, $500/day, 50 trades/day (configurable via dashboard)
Volume Attribution
All trades are tagged with source="sdk:polymarket-sol-momentum" and skill_slug="polymarket-sol-momentum". This attributes trade volume to this skill on Simmer and qualifies for the 2% creator fee on LMSR markets you've imported.
