## What it is

A Telegram bot, published as @TradePolyBot, and a Telegram Mini App that trade on
[Polymarket](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polymarket) from a Safe smart wallet on Polygon. The product calls itself
PolyBot, and the Telegram handle is the name most readers arrive with. The job is automation:
copying other wallets and running your own rule-based strategies on crypto Up/Down markets. Manual
market and limit orders, a portfolio and PnL cards sit around those.

**Copy trading is capped at three subscriptions per wallet.** Each follows one address, profile URL
or @username, sized either as a fixed dollar amount (1.10 USD minimum) or as the leader's amount
times a multiplier from 0.01 to 10. Sells mirror the leader's percentage, not their dollar amount.
Controls cover a daily cap, a price range, slippage from a limit order at the leader's price to
unlimited, market or limit execution with separate buy and sell settings, per-outcome purchase
limits, maximum expiry, minimum and maximum leader size, and category filters with sport and
coin subcategories. Counter-trade and buy-only modes exist. Copied positions can carry their own
stop loss, take profit and trailing stop.

**Auto Trader is your own rules on crypto Up/Down markets**, set by asset and timeframe with an
entry window, price triggers, exits and circuit breakers. **HFT Strategies** is a side feature
with the opposite division of labour: PolyBot's own signal decides what to trade, when and how
much, with capital you set aside for it. It is opt-in, absent from the home page and the site's
marketing pages, one of 25 docs guides and fifth of eight features in the docs' overview. This
card lists the bot for the copy trading and the rules you write; Limitations sets out what the
docs disclose about the part PolyBot decides.

**The rest.** Presets for take-profit, stop-loss and trailing exits that can apply automatically to
every fill. Standalone stop losses. Price and large-trade alerts. Auto-claim, off by default.
Parlays of two to eight legs from 1.10 USD. Group commands that turn pasted market and profile
links into cards. Trading competitions ranked by volume. Robin Yield, a feature-gated beta that
deposits outcome shares you already hold into an external Robin vault contract. Two-factor authentication for withdrawals and
key export. Nine languages.

## Availability

**PolyBot excludes the United States in its own words.** The overview, the quickstart and the FAQ
each close on the line that PolyBot "is not available to U.S. persons or people located in the
U.S.", and the site footer adds "not available in certain jurisdictions". The quickstart asks you to accept terms
and a compliance confirmation inside the bot, and lists eligibility to use PolyBot and Polymarket
in your location as a prerequisite. Orders go to Polymarket's international order book, so
Polymarket's own blocklist binds as well, and it covers the United Kingdom and most of western
Europe. The jurisdictions above are that venue's reach.

**There is no identity check.** You start the bot with a Telegram account, accept the terms, and
the Safe is deployed. Nothing asks for a document.

**The terms are not published outside the bot.** The documentation refers to "the current terms",
but neither the website nor the docs host a copy: the obvious terms and privacy paths on the site
return 404. The docs name no company, jurisdiction or governing law. A reader cannot read the
contract before starting the bot, and this card could not either.

Documentation and site read on 30 September 2026; the documentation pages carry a last-updated
date of 20 July 2026.

## Pricing

**1% of trading volume, on top of Polymarket.** The overview, the FAQ and the referral guide all give
the same standard rate, and the referral guide's worked example fixes the base: a 100 USD fill pays
a 1.00 USD PolyBot fee. That is a percentage of what the fill costs, not of what it pays out, so
the fields above read 0.5%: on a 50-cent contract the fee is half a cent, which is 0.5% of the
dollar the contract pays. At 90 cents it is 0.9% of the payout, at 10 cents 0.1%.

The docs do not exempt limit orders or sells, and the limit-sell review screen lists a fee, so the
maker field carries the same number. Polymarket's own fee on the same fill is separate, and PolyBot's
docs do not mention it. On a taker fill the two add up.

**The rate is not fixed.** Both the overview and the FAQ say promotions and account-specific
overrides can change the effective fee, and that the confirmation screen before each trade is the
source of truth. A reader who wants to know what they will pay has to read that screen every time.

**What is free.** Normal wallet actions, deposits and withdrawals run on sponsored gas, so you never
hold POL. Bridge and swap providers on cross-chain deposit routes may charge their own costs, shown
in the flow. The deposit picker, not the docs, lists current networks and minimums.

Referrers get 25% of PolyBot's fee on their direct referrals' fills, 5% one level down and 3% at the
third, claimable from 5 USD. The docs call all three figures runtime defaults the bot can change.

Documentation read on 30 September 2026.

## Markets & resolution

Every market is Polymarket's, collateralised in pUSD on Polygon
and resolved through Polymarket's own process. Auto-claim redeems resolved positions
periodically once you switch it on.

Two features hold something other than a plain position. A **parlay** is an all-or-nothing
combination that loses if one leg loses, priced by multiplying leg prices into an estimate. The
executable quote can differ when a leg moves, liquidity changes or the size is too large. **Robin Yield** deposits filled outcome shares into a third-party
Robin vault, which credits them at a variable rate the quote splits into base, matching and points
components; a withdrawal returns the shares and whatever the vault's contract has credited. The
docs do not say where that rate comes from. It adds smart-contract risk and a second withdrawal
step to the position's own market risk.

## Integrations

A Safe smart account on Polygon holds funds and positions, and deposits arrive through a deposit
service that bridges and swaps several networks into pUSD. Robin vaults are the one external
protocol with its own integration page. Group support covers market search, shared cards, the
competition leaderboard and referral attribution.

There is no public API, SDK, webhook or MCP server. The Mini App must be launched from Telegram so
PolyBot can authenticate you, and some controls, including managed HFT, Robin Yield and single-command
trading, exist only in the chat.

## Limitations

**HFT Strategies trades on PolyBot's signals, not yours.** Nothing runs until you start it:
Strategies, then Start New Strategy, then a BTC market cycle (5 minutes, 15 minutes or 1 hour),
Maker or Taker execution, a capital allocation, and a confirmation. From there the docs' own
comparison table answers "Who defines the trade logic?" with "PolyBot's managed strategies and
signal source", and the guide adds that "PolyBot decides the individual order size within that
budget." Signals are routed to subscribers in time slots, so two users in the same strategy get
different trades. The catalog changes without notice, and the docs warn that any beta strategy can
lose money. The guide documents no separate price and no profit share for it. No track record is
published either: a planned public control room showing performance across managed strategies is
marked "Not available yet", so all a subscriber sees is their own subscription's Activity and
Performance screens, and this card quotes no figures. This is the one part of the product where the tool
chooses the position. Docs guide (last updated 20 July 2026) read on 1 October 2026.

**"Self-custodial" describes the Safe, not the signer.** The Safe is your on-chain account. PolyBot
also creates the signer that authorizes its transactions, and the bot can send you that key on
request. That is how copy trading and HFT can sign while you are offline, and it also means
PolyBot's systems hold the key that controls your wallet. Two-factor authentication guards
withdrawals and export. It does not change who else can sign.

**The name is copied more than the product.** PolyBot's own safety post lists the only official
properties as polybot.trading, docs.polybot.trading, @TradePolyBot and its two backup bots. A site
at tradepolybot.app ranks for the handle, is not among them, carries a referral code on every
bot link, and advertises "1% fee on wins only", which contradicts PolyBot's own documentation.

**The public rankings need reading carefully.** The smart-wallet leaderboard shows 30-day ROI
figures running into six digits beside a copyability score and a suggested capital amount. A
return that size says more about how little the wallet started with than about the trader, and the
docs call the scores "analytical signals, not endorsements".

**Competitions pay for volume.** The live leaderboard ranks wallets by traded volume against
tiered prize pools, and every traded dollar pays the 1% fee. The docs say it themselves: trading
extra volume to chase a rank increases fees and market risk.

**Polymarket only.** No Kalshi, no Polymarket US and no cross-venue view.

## Alternatives

[Kreo](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/kreo) is the closest match: a Telegram copy-trading and auto-trading bot on the same
venue, with a Privy-secured Safe, a fee that follows the venue's midpoint curve at up to 1.75 cents a
share, and a web app. [PolyCop](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polycop) takes a flat 0.5% of each trade and holds the key
by its own terms. [Polycool](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polycool) does copy trading as a phone app, from 1% down to
0.5% with volume. [PolyWallet](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polywallet) and [OrcaLayer](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/orcalayer) watch wallets
without routing orders or taking a cut.

A reader who can write the copy logic can skip the bot and its 1% altogether: Polymarket's
[polymarket-client](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polymarket-client) SDK and the cross-venue [PMXT](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/pmxt) sign
orders from a key that never leaves your own machine. For a US
reader, [Polymarket US](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/polymarket-us) and [Kalshi](https://predictionmarkets.tools/tools/kalshi) are the venues that will
open an account.

## FAQ

### Is TradePolyBot the same thing as PolyBot?

Yes. @TradePolyBot is the Telegram handle of PolyBot, whose site is polybot.trading and docs are docs.polybot.trading. The docs name two official backup bots, @TradePolyBetaBot and @TradePolyGammaBot, and say any other account claiming to be a PolyBot trading bot is unofficial. tradepolybot.app is not one of PolyBot's listed properties.

### What does PolyBot charge?

A standard 1% of the dollar value of each fill, on buys and sells, on top of whatever Polymarket charges. On a 50-cent contract that is half a cent, or 0.5% of the dollar the contract pays out. The docs say promotions and per-account overrides can change the rate, and the confirmation screen before each trade shows the effective fee.

### Can a US person use PolyBot?

No. The documentation states plainly that PolyBot is not available to US persons or to people located in the United States, and the Polymarket order book it routes to excludes the US as well. A US reader should look at Polymarket US or Kalshi.

### Who holds the key to a PolyBot wallet?

The wallet is a Safe smart account on Polygon, and PolyBot creates the signer key that authorizes its transactions. You can export that key into a Telegram message that deletes itself, but the key passes through PolyBot's bot to reach you, so its systems can read it. Exporting gives you a copy, not sole control.

## Background

- [What running a bot does not solve](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/what-a-bot-cannot-fix.md) — A bot fixes speed and consistency. Rate limits, a missing rehearsal, a field that stops arriving, a partial fill and a paused market are not coding problems.

- [Why your bot gets throttled, and what the limit is counted against](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/why-your-bot-gets-throttled.md) — Kalshi meters tokens per account tier; Polymarket's order book meters requests per IP and queues the excess. What each counts, and what the libraries assume.

- [Where your key lives when software trades for you](https://predictionmarkets.tools/guides/where-your-key-lives.md) — Four different credentials are all called a key, and they differ in what a copy permits. What the clients in this catalogue ask for, and what to ask them back.
