The Polymarket Sniper Bot currently runs exclusively on Windows PC — Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit edition. Minimum hardware requirements are 4 GB RAM and a stable internet connection. The application is lightweight at approximately 45 MB and will not noticeably impact your system performance. Native macOS and mobile versions of the Polymarket Sniper Bot are in active development and expected later this year.

Connection is established through a secure API key that you generate within your Polymarket account settings. Simply generate the key, paste it into the Polymarket Sniper Bot connection panel, and click verify. The entire process takes less than two minutes. All credentials are encrypted using AES-256 and stored exclusively on your local machine — they are never transmitted to our servers. You retain full control of your Polymarket account at all times, and you can revoke the API key from your Polymarket settings whenever you choose.

The Sniper Precision Engine inside the Polymarket Sniper Bot executes trades in under one second from signal detection to order placement. Every stage of the pipeline — data ingestion, condition matching, position sizing, and order submission — is optimized for minimal latency. This sub-second execution speed gives you a measurable advantage over manual trading, especially for time-sensitive opportunities like newly listed markets, sudden price movements, or event-driven spikes where being first matters most.

The Crosshair Scanner is the core detection engine of the Polymarket Sniper Bot. It continuously monitors every active market on Polymarket in real time — typically hundreds of markets simultaneously. The scanner tracks price movements, detects newly created markets within seconds of listing, identifies sudden volume spikes, monitors order book depth changes, and cross-references whale wallet activity. You configure custom filters for market category, minimum trading volume, price entry thresholds, liquidity requirements, and time-to-resolution windows. When a market enters your crosshairs and meets all your conditions, the scanner triggers the Sniper Precision Engine automatically.

The Crosshair Scanner monitors every active market on Polymarket simultaneously — there is no cap. At any given time, Polymarket hosts hundreds of live markets across categories like politics, crypto, sports, entertainment, science, and world events. The Polymarket Sniper Bot processes all of this market data in parallel, ensuring zero blind spots. Whether you are targeting a single niche category or scanning the entire platform, the scanner covers everything without degradation in execution speed.

For optimal results, yes. The Crosshair Scanner and Sniper Precision Engine must remain active to detect opportunities and execute trades in real time. When your machine is offline, the bot cannot monitor markets or act on signals. Prediction markets operate around the clock, and events can trigger price movements at any hour. Running the Polymarket Sniper Bot on a dedicated machine or a virtual private server ensures uninterrupted 24/7 market coverage and consistent sub-second execution. Our 99.9% uptime architecture is designed for always-on operation.

Whale sniping is one of the most powerful features of the Polymarket Sniper Bot. It monitors large wallet addresses on Polymarket for significant position entries. You can add any wallet address to your tracking list, set minimum position size thresholds to filter out noise, and configure automatic follow-trades with your own allocation size. When a tracked whale enters a market with a large position, the bot detects the on-chain activity and can automatically enter the same market with your configured parameters — all within sub-second timeframes. This lets you capitalize on the market intelligence of experienced, high-conviction participants who have historically demonstrated strong prediction accuracy.

Yes. The Auto-Executor module in the Polymarket Sniper Bot supports fully customizable IF-THEN rule chains. For example: IF a new market is listed with volume above $10K AND the category is politics, THEN enter a position at 15 cents with a maximum allocation of $200. You can combine conditions across price targets, volume thresholds, whale wallet activity, time-based triggers, market category filters, and liquidity depth requirements. Multiple rule sets run simultaneously across different market segments, each with independent risk parameters. This gives you the ability to build and deploy sophisticated, multi-layered sniping strategies without writing a single line of code.

Event-driven sniping triggers trades based on real-world events and scheduled catalysts. The Event Sniper module in the Polymarket Sniper Bot monitors scheduled events such as elections, economic data releases, earnings reports, central bank announcements, and policy decisions. You can pre-configure trades to fire at specific times or in response to market movements that follow breaking news. The bot also detects rapid price shifts that indicate event-driven activity and can automatically enter positions when volatility crosses your configured thresholds. This ensures you never miss a time-critical opportunity, even if you are not actively watching the markets.

Absolutely. The Polymarket Sniper Bot supports unlimited concurrent strategy profiles. You could run a whale-following strategy targeting political markets, an event-driven strategy on crypto markets, a new-listing sniper across all categories, and a liquidity-depth strategy on sports markets — all at the same time. Each strategy profile has its own independent risk parameters, position limits, and execution rules. The Crosshair Scanner evaluates all active strategies in parallel, and the Sniper Precision Engine handles execution for each without any performance degradation.

The Polymarket Sniper Bot includes a comprehensive risk management suite designed to protect your capital at every level:

• Automated stop-loss triggers — Automatically exit positions when losses hit your defined threshold per market
• Maximum position sizing — Cap the dollar amount of any individual market position to prevent overexposure
• Daily exposure limits — Set a maximum total capital that can be deployed across all markets in a single day
• Drawdown protection — Automatically pause all sniping activity if your portfolio value drops below a configured percentage
• Per-category limits — Apply different risk parameters to different market categories (e.g., tighter limits on crypto, looser on politics)
• Liquidity guards — Prevent execution in markets with insufficient order book depth

Every trade the Polymarket Sniper Bot executes respects your configured boundaries. The bot will never exceed the limits you set.

Yes, your account security is a top priority for the Polymarket Sniper Bot. Your API credentials are encrypted using AES-256 encryption and stored exclusively on your local machine. They are never sent to, stored on, or accessible from our servers. You can revoke the API key at any time from your Polymarket account settings, instantly disconnecting the bot. The Polymarket Sniper Bot only executes the specific actions you configure — it cannot withdraw funds, change account settings, or perform any operations outside of market trading. All actions are logged transparently in your local dashboard for full auditability.

The Polymarket Sniper Bot checks available liquidity and order book depth before executing any trade. You can configure minimum liquidity thresholds in your scanner filters so the bot only enters markets with sufficient depth at your target price. If a market has thin liquidity and the bot cannot fill your order at an acceptable price, it will skip the opportunity entirely rather than execute at an unfavorable price. This protects you from slippage and ensures every entry the Sniper Precision Engine makes is at a price you have pre-approved.

Yes. Every new user of the Polymarket Sniper Bot receives a 7-day free trial with complete, unrestricted access to every feature: the Crosshair Scanner, Whale Sniper, Event Sniper, Auto-Executor, Portfolio Sniper, Alert system, and the full analytics dashboard. No credit card is required to begin your trial. After the 7-day period, continued access to the Polymarket Sniper Bot is $29/month. You can cancel your subscription at any time with no cancellation fees.

When your 7-day trial of the Polymarket Sniper Bot concludes, you can upgrade to the monthly subscription at $29/month for uninterrupted access to all sniping features. If you choose not to subscribe, the bot will pause all scanning, alerting, and execution. Your configured strategies and settings are preserved so you can resume instantly if you subscribe later. Importantly, your Polymarket account and any existing open positions remain completely unaffected — the bot simply stops monitoring and executing new trades.

The Polymarket Sniper Bot dashboard provides a comprehensive real-time view of your sniping operations. It displays your portfolio value and profit-and-loss metrics, a live feed of all markets the Crosshair Scanner is tracking, a complete log of every executed trade with timestamps and execution latency, active sniping strategy statuses, whale activity alerts, market volatility indicators, and your configured risk parameters. Every action the bot takes is logged with full transparency so you can see exactly what happened, when it happened, and why it triggered.
