momentum-arb-bot

momentum-arb-bot is a recently created Python bot that combines momentum trading with arbitrage on Polymarket's 15-minute BTC and ETH markets. The strategy appears to be a hybrid: first, it uses momentum indicators (likely RSI, MACD, or moving average crossovers) to detect short-term price trends in the underlying crypto assets. When momentum signals align, the bot looks for arbitrage opportunities—either between related Polymarket markets (e.g., BTC up vs. BTC down contracts on the same time window) or potentially across platforms. The 15-minute time frame is designed for fast, high-frequency trades that capitalize on short-lived inefficiencies. Code quality is minimal: the repository is only 31 KB (smallest in the batch), with a basic structure and no tests or extensive documentation. Created just yesterday (2026-07-09), it's clearly in early development. There are no malware indicators. The main strength is the novel hybrid approach—combining momentum with arbitrage could capture edges that pure momentum or pure arbitrage bots miss. The 15-minute time frame is also relatively underexplored compared to 5-min or daily bots. Limitations: the lack of testing and documentation makes it risky to trust without significant validation. The tiny codebase suggests it may be a prototype or skeleton rather than a polished tool. This bot is currently best viewed as a proof-of-concept rather than a production-ready system. It could mature into something valuable with additions like backtesting, risk management, and real execution. For Polymarket intelligence, it represents an interesting strategy direction worth monitoring.
