It runs the same rules on every window: when Up and Down together cost less than $1 it buys both and keeps the difference at settlement, and when the order book leans one way it backs that side and holds a small position on the other. It never sells; positions are held to settlement and redeemed. The seller runs it on a public Polymarket account, @stepahead, which today trades almost only Bitcoin's 5-minute windows.

Overview
Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto Up or Down windows, sold as full source for $399 once, or for $899 with installation on your server and a private monitoring dashboard. It runs the same rules on every window: when Up and Down together cost less than $1 it buys both and keeps the difference at settlement, and when the order book leans one way it backs that side and holds a small position on the other. It never sells; positions are held to settlement and redeemed. The seller runs it on a public Polymarket account, @stepahead, which today trades almost only Bitcoin's 5-minute windows.

How it works
- The account is real, and the site's window holds. @stepahead is Polymarket wallet 0xe290…a33f. Polymarket's own P&L feed, which counts fees and the daily rebates, has it gaining $88,800 from Jul 1 to Oct 22, 2026, against $92,173 on the site; roughly $32,000 of that came from rebates rather than from trading. The month bars match too: +$43.2K in July, a pause from late July to Sep 20, +$8.7K in September.
- The window is chosen. The wallet's first fill was on Mar 28, 2026, not in July, and on Jul 1 it stood at about −$25,100 after a losing spring. Counted from the first trade it is up about $71,500, and Polymarket's all-time leaderboard, which counts fees but not rebates, credits it with $12,348 — so rebates are more than four-fifths of what the account has kept overall. The site's changelog lists versions back to Jan 22, 2026, two months before that first fill.
- The record covers less than the bot is sold for. The site names Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP on both window lengths; in samples we took on seven days between July and October the account traded only Bitcoin, the 15-minute windows made up about a fifth of its fills in July and none since September, and every fill was a buy. The other markets have no public record here.
- Rebates scale with the account. The part paid back on taker fills is tiered by volume, and at a $200 start you begin at the bottom, so the same rules can earn noticeably less than they do on an account with $12 million of volume behind it. The seller also says it earns a share of the fees on owners' trading through Polymarket's referral program, which is why it sells a bot that makes money. Use practice mode at your own size before funding a wallet. And the site's answer on blocked countries — the server's location is what counts — does not change Polymarket's terms, which bar use from restricted regions.

$399 once for the full Python source, with a download link on the payment page as soon as the payment confirms and free updates posted in a private owners' chat, which you join by sending the payment ID to the seller on Telegram. Pro, $899 once, adds installation on your own server over a screen-share call, a private dashboard with profit, trade log and health checks, Telegram alerts when a bot goes quiet or hits a cap, a phone kill switch that cancels orders but cannot move funds, a sizing call and 60 days of priority support. Checkout is crypto only (USDT on several chains, BTC, ETH, TON, LTC, BCH, DOGE). The site publishes no refund terms and no terms or privacy page. A server, about $4 a month by the seller's estimate, and Polymarket's own fees are on you; the seller suggests starting with $200.

GoodFallen
Editor's ChoiceSelf-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto Up or Down windows, sold as full source for $399 once and backed by the public Polymarket account its seller runs it on, @GoodFallen. It does not call direction: through each window it buys both Up and Down in small pieces, some at the ask and some as resting bids, never sells, and redeems the winning side after settlement. Taker fees eat most of the trading result, and Polymarket's daily rebates, which grow with volume, make up half of what the account keeps. Paper mode, a daily loss limit, an exposure cap, a stop file and Telegram reports are built in.

Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5- and 15-minute crypto Up or Down windows, sold as full source for a single payment and named after the public Polymarket account its seller points to as proof. It does not predict direction: it buys both Up and Down through each window on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, mostly at the ask, holds every position to settlement and redeems the winnings. By the vendor's own breakdown the timing of those buys roughly pays the taker fee, and more than half of the net comes from Polymarket's fee rebates at a high volume tier. Paper mode, a daily loss limit, an exposure cap and Telegram reports are built in.
