Whale Monitoring and Smart Money Copy Trading

This strategy involves two complementary tools: a whale monitoring bot ('polymarket-whalewatch') that tracks large positions and smart money flows in real-time, and a copy trading bot ('polymarket-copy-trading-bot') that allows users to automatically replicate trades from leading Polymarket addresses. The whale monitor scans all Polymarket markets for large order sizes, unusual trading patterns, and addresses with high historical win rates, then surfaces these signals via a dashboard or alerts. The copy trading bot uses a configuration file (trade.toml) to specify which leader addresses to follow, which markets to filter (e.g., politics, sports, crypto), and position sizing rules. Entry and exit are entirely dictated by the copied trader's actions—when the leader opens or closes a position, the follower's bot executes the same trade proportionally. This strategy relies on the assumption that top traders have superior information or analytical skills. Results are not explicitly shared, but the popularity of such bots suggests active use. Implementation is in Python for the whale monitor (using Polymarket's API and WebSocket feeds) and TypeScript for the copy trading bot.
