Rust-based 5-Minute Up/Down Arbitrage Bot
Executes arbitrage strategies on Polymarket 5-minute Up or Down markets using a high-performance Rust bot for low-latency execution.
This bot is written in Rust to minimize latency when trading Polymarket's fast-moving 5-minute BTC Up/Down markets. The strategy focuses on capturing small price discrepancies that arise from order book imbalances or delayed reactions to market events. The Rust implementation provides sub-millisecond execution speeds, which is critical for this market structure. Entry is when the bot detects a momentary mispricing between the Up and Down contracts, or between Polymarket and a reference price. Exit occurs rapidly after the edge is captured or when the position is near expiration. No verified results are available, and the bot is designed for automated high-frequency trading, which carries execution risk and requires careful order management. The edge comes from speed and technical efficiency rather than a unique predictive model.
