Polymarket Sniper Bot — Frequently Asked Questions

The Sniper Precision Engine executes trades in under one second from signal detection to order placement. This sub-second execution speed gives you a significant advantage over manual trading, especially for time-sensitive opportunities like newly listed markets, sudden price movements, or event-driven spikes. The engine is optimized for minimal latency at every stage of the pipeline.

You can snipe any market available on Polymarket, spanning categories including politics, crypto, sports, entertainment, science, economics, and current events. The Crosshair Scanner supports filtering by category, trading volume, liquidity depth, and time-to-resolution so you can focus exclusively on markets that match your strategy. Whether you are targeting new market listings or established high-volume markets, the scanner covers them all.

The Crosshair Scanner continuously monitors all active Polymarket markets in real time. It tracks price movements, detects newly listed markets within seconds of their creation, identifies volume spikes, and alerts you when any market hits your predefined target conditions. You can configure custom filters for market category, minimum volume, price thresholds, liquidity requirements, and time-to-resolution windows. When a market enters your crosshairs, the scanner triggers the execution engine automatically.

Whale sniping monitors large wallet addresses on Polymarket for significant position entries. When a tracked whale enters a market with a large position, the bot can automatically follow that move with your configured allocation size. This lets you capitalize on the market intelligence of high-conviction, experienced participants who have historically demonstrated strong prediction accuracy. You can customize which wallets to track and set minimum position thresholds to filter out noise.

Yes. The Auto-Executor supports fully customizable IF-THEN rules. For example: IF a new market is listed with volume above $10K, THEN enter a position at a specified price. You can combine conditions across price targets, volume thresholds, whale activity, time-based triggers, and market category filters to build sophisticated sniping strategies. Multiple rule sets can run simultaneously across different market segments.

Event-driven sniping triggers trades based on real-world events and news. The Event Sniper monitors scheduled events (elections, earnings reports, policy announcements) and auto-executes positions when conditions are met. You can pre-configure trades to fire at specific times or in response to market movements that follow breaking news, ensuring you never miss a time-sensitive opportunity.

The sniper bot includes comprehensive risk controls designed to protect your capital:

• Stop-loss triggers — Automatically exit positions when losses hit your defined threshold
• Maximum position sizing — Cap the size of any individual market position
• Daily exposure limits — Set a maximum total capital deployed per day
• Drawdown protection — Pause all sniping if your portfolio drops below a configured level
• Market-specific limits — Different risk parameters for different market categories

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

For best 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, queued signals wait but cannot be acted upon. Running the bot on a dedicated machine or virtual private server ensures uninterrupted 24/7 market coverage and sub-second execution around the clock.

Connection is established through a secure API key that you generate within your Polymarket account. Simply copy the key, paste it into the bot's connection panel, and verify. The guided setup wizard walks you through every step. All credentials are encrypted and stored exclusively on your local machine — they are never transmitted to our servers.

Currently, the Polymarket Sniper Bot runs exclusively on Windows PC (Windows 10 or newer, 64-bit). The minimum requirements are 4 GB RAM and a stable internet connection. The application is lightweight and will not noticeably slow down your computer. Native macOS and mobile versions are in active development.

Yes. Every new user receives a 7-day free trial with complete access to all features including the Crosshair Scanner, Whale Sniper, Event Sniper, Auto-Executor, and the full analytics dashboard. No credit card is required to begin. After the trial, continued access is $29/month. Cancel anytime.

When your 7-day trial concludes, you can upgrade to a monthly subscription at $29/month for uninterrupted access to all sniping features. If you choose not to subscribe, the bot will pause all scanning and execution. Your Polymarket account and any existing positions remain completely unaffected.
