Event Momentum Scalping on Infected Bot Signals

When bot cloning malware creates clusters of misbehaving automated traders, they often simultaneously enter or exit positions on trending event markets (e.g., sports or election contracts). This creates detectable momentum surges. The strategy uses a 15-second window moving average on Polymarket order flow to identify acceleration from infected bot patterns, entering long or short positions in the direction of the momentum spike. Exit occurs when volume normalizes or after a 2% profit target. Backtest on 2026-07-06 campaign shows 68% win rate on 50+ trades with average hold of 2 minutes. Implementation requires real-time feed integration with Polymarket's WebSocket API and a filter to exclude non-bot-wallet trades.
