Bot-Whale Momentum Following
Tracks the aggregate order flow of the 8 identified bots to identify momentum bursts that often precede 2–5% price moves on Polymarket markets.
With 8 bots detected in the market, each typically moves prices in a predictable directional pattern when accumulating positions. By clustering their trade timestamps and sizes (from on-chain data), this strategy detects early momentum before retail traders react.
Entry: When 3+ bots buy the same outcome within a 15-second window and the net order flow exceeds 2x daily average volume, enter in the same direction. Exit: Take profit at 3% move or when bot flow reverses (sell signal). Results: Average holding time is 4 minutes; win rate 71% based on the last 3 months of bot behavior analyzed in the report.
Implementation requires an indexer that tracks bot wallet addresses (identifiable by their consistent gas-price patterns), a real-time order flow aggregator, and a basic execution engine. The edge comes from being faster than human traders and slower than top-speed bots — effectively riding their coattails.
