BTC 5- & 15-minute Polymarket bots

20 listings for the recurring "BTC up or down" windows — the 5-minute and 15-minute Bitcoin markets and their ETH and hourly cousins. 19 of them are Polymarket bots, split into the ones built for nothing else and the multi-market platforms that bolt a minute-market module on; the last group is the venues that run the window themselves, where you tap a side instead of hosting anything. Compare by window, execution style and what record the author actually publishes.

Crypto Markets5 out of 5 stars5.0 (2)

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.

Crypto Markets

Open-source AI trading agent that runs on your own machine and takes orders in natural language over Telegram, Discord, WebChat and eighteen other channels. Powered by Claude, it covers ten prediction markets — Polymarket, Kalshi, Betfair, Smarkets, Drift, Manifold, Metaculus, PredictIt, Opinion.xyz and Predict.fun — plus perpetual-futures exchanges and Solana and EVM DeFi. The Polymarket layer is real code rather than a wrapper: an EIP-712 order signer with unit tests, a CLOB client exposing 60-plus methods, real-time data and user WebSocket feeds, a large-trade tracker, and round-based discovery of the 5-minute BTC and the 15-minute, hourly, 4-hour and daily crypto windows with four automated strategies, alongside cross-venue arbitrage detection, copy trading and DCA bots. MIT-licensed at github.com/alsk1992/CloddsBot: 2,700 stars, 460-plus commits from one primary author, v1.9.1 released Sep 12, 2026, installed with one npm command on Node 22.

Crypto Markets

Four self-hosted bots for Polymarket's 15-minute crypto windows — BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP — sold per coin and capped at fifty seats each. You rent a small Linux VPS outside the US, unpack a package of compiled Python 3.14 modules built for your CPU, and enter per-coin licence keys plus your Polymarket wallet credentials in a dashboard that runs on localhost; the credentials stay in a local .env and the bot connects outbound to Polymarket, a Polygon RPC, the vendor's signal server and its licence server. Every coin starts in demo mode with real data and virtual positions, and you flip it to live yourself. Basic runs the strategy; Premium adds one-second order-book updates, 2x and 3x signal multipliers, entry-price filters and a daily digest. The results page shows 138 days, 3,455 closed trades, a 54.6% win rate and +$3,501 on $2,000 — self-reported, with the caveats below.

Crypto Markets1 out of 5 stars1.0 (1)

Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's 5-minute BTC and ETH up/down markets, sold with its complete live trading record — losses included. A free GitHub repo publishes every fill from two generations of testing plus a 1,934-window study in which every automated signal scored roughly coin-flip against the human's 59%; the published numbers reproduce exactly from the raw CSVs, though the logs omit market ids, so the record is self-attested rather than on-chain verifiable. Both generations together lost about $270 — mostly execution and a since-fixed ghost-fill bug — while the configuration that ships as default closed its live run at +7.3% ROI on a 40% win rate over a small 25-trade sample: momentum entries, stop re-anchored to execution price minus 10¢, winners held to binary resolution. Dry-run is the default, with fills simulated from slippage measured on real trades; live mode takes two explicit flags and a dedicated wallet.

Poly Research & Robotics

Platforms & Tools

Free community and toolset for people who write their own Polymarket bots, paid for by a store of historical market data. Poly Research & Robotics, PR&R for short, runs a Discord of about 2,000 members and publishes build guides written to be worked through with an AI coding agent, 36 reports that take apart how individual high-volume accounts trade, a live monitor for the crypto Up or Down windows and a self-hosted bot for those windows that it describes as open source. Guides and reports are open to read and the monitor runs without an account; the bot and the dataset samples need a PR&R account with your Discord linked to it. The store sells one-second order-book history for crypto, weather, tennis and competitive-gaming markets in packs from $5 to $75.

Copy Trading

Six self-hosted Polymarket bots from one developer, sold separately at $10 a month each and delivered as full source with a browser dashboard, tests and a Docker setup for your own PC or VPS. CopyBot follows wallets you choose, or candidates it ranks from Polymarket's public leaderboard, with fixed, proportional or Kelly-fraction sizing, ten-plus individually switchable guards and exits that follow the leader out. Crypto5min and Crypto15min trade the 5- and 15-minute up/down windows on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB and HYPE from tree-based models retrained every 60 or 90 minutes. ARB scans the order books for binary YES and NO asks that sum to less than $1 after fees. WeatherBot prices temperature buckets from a weighted blend of Open-Meteo models, NWS, NOAA and Met.no forecasts and compares the result with the live asks. PolyLiq rests two-sided quotes in the markets that pay Polymarket's liquidity rewards, or takes over the resting orders you placed yourself. Every bot starts with real orders switched off, keeps the wallet key in a local env file and, from the current releases, updates itself from its own dashboard. The vendor advertises no returns; a free Polymarket terminal from the same developer is in beta on the same domain.

Platforms & Tools

Web terminal for Polymarket's own markets and order books, built around the way in and the record after rather than any strategy: sign in with an email code or Google, fund a Polygon trading account with USDC or USDT from six networks from $10, and trade with no gas to pay. The Screener puts every tradable market into one table — price, 1h and 24h change, spread, 24h and all-time volume, depth, close time and match start — with range filters on each column, a topic filter and five presets: All markets, Undecided at 40–60¢, Top movers, Live now and Closing soon. The trade panel takes market orders and a beta limit mode with an expiry, shows the book and spread underneath and folds the fees into the total before you confirm. Analytics covers your own trades: realized and unrealized P&L by day, win rate, average stake, time in trade for wins and for losses, best and worst trade, and a Price vs. win block that sets your entry prices against how often you actually won. Pulse Points accrue per trade; rule-based automation, an AI assistant and API trading are marked coming soon.

Copy Trading

Telegram bots for Polymarket and Kalshi built around copy trading. Each copy task follows one wallet with its own buy mode — fixed amount, exact copy, a percentage of the leader's size or portfolio-weighted — under minimum and maximum buy, daily, total and per-market spend caps, category and price-range filters, slippage tolerance, stop-loss and take-profit, a monitoring mode that watches without buying, and a schedule; bulk settings edit dozens of tasks at once. Auto Trade runs rule-based entries on the crypto Up/Down windows and on sports, with presets, an auto-hedge that takes the other side when the pair is net-positive after fees, and up to 10x on selected markets. Around it: a wallet tracker, unusual-activity and new-market alerts, charts, parlays, and a backtest and portfolio lookup. Polymarket wallets are Gnosis Safes secured by Privy enclaves with the owner key exportable; deposits by crypto or card. Fees follow a bell curve per share, from 0.3¢ at the extremes to 1.75¢ at 50/50, with cashback tiers.

What the 5- and 15-minute BTC markets are

Polymarket runs recurring "Bitcoin Up or Down" markets: a fresh binary market opens every five minutes, every fifteen minutes and every hour, asking whether BTC — and on some series ETH, SOL and the other majors — will finish the window above or below its opening reference price. A window resolves the moment it ends, the next one is already trading, and the cycle repeats around the clock.

That rhythm is why the windows are the most bot-traded books on Polymarket. Hundreds of identical markets a day mean a strategy can be backtested and paper-traded at a scale no election or sports market allows, and the edge — where one exists — lives in speed and in fees: spot on the exchanges leads the Polymarket book by seconds, and makers earn rebates on the very markets where takers pay the platform's highest fee.

Every bot on this page names the windows it trades on its listing. The dedicated bots come first; the platforms that add a minute-market module to a copy-trading terminal or an agent framework are grouped second, because you buy those for the platform and get the windows as one feature among many. Last come the venues that run the same five-minute question themselves — not bots at all, and the shortest route into the window: no software to host, no exchange account to fund, and a result that settles on a public candle within five minutes of the decision.

How to pick a minute-market bot

Start with the window and the asset. A 15-minute-only bot cannot trade the 5-minute series, a BTC-only bot ignores ETH, and the hourly windows behave differently again — slower, thinner, less crowded. The markets line on each card says exactly which series a bot covers.

Ask whether it takes or makes. Crypto windows carry Polymarket's highest taker fee — about 1.75% of notional per fill at a 50-cent price — so a bot that crosses the spread needs a large edge on every trade, while a bot that quotes pays nothing and earns rebates. The strategy line tells you which side of the book it lives on; the minute-markets guide below has the full fee math.

Insist on a paper mode and a record you can check. This is the one corner of Polymarket where performance is cheap to prove — thousands of comparable windows a month — so an author with no paper mode and no published fills is telling you something. Run the paper mode through a few hundred windows before funding it, and size each window as a small fraction of the bankroll: losing streaks here arrive in clusters.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free or open-source Polymarket 15-minute bot?
Yes. BTC 15-Min Bot is an open-source repository you clone and run on your own machine, and it ships a paper mode. PolymTradeBot, Uruguabot, PolySnipe and PolySigma are sold once with the full source included, so you can read the code before funding them. The open-source collection lists every repository in the catalog.
Which bots trade the 5-minute market, not only the 15-minute one?
PolymTradeBot and Uruguabot cover both the 5- and 15-minute series on BTC and ETH, PolySnipe covers both on BTC, and PolyWin and PolymarketAlpha cover the 5-minute, 15-minute and hourly windows as one module of a wider platform. PolySigma and BTC 15-Min Bot trade the 15-minute series only.
Do these bots trade only Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the deepest series and every bot here trades it. PolymTradeBot and Uruguabot add ETH, and PolyWin's crypto module lists BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE and HYPE. Check the markets line on the listing — a bot marked "BTC up/down · 15m" is exactly that and nothing else.
Are the 5- and 15-minute markets the same as "Bitcoin Up or Down" in the Polymarket app?
Yes — that is Polymarket's own name for the series. Each market asks whether the price at the end of the window is above the price at its start and resolves automatically against the reference price the market lists. The windows run back to back, so a bot moves from one to the next without waiting.
Can I trade the five-minute Bitcoin question without Polymarket?
Yes — Up or Down BTC runs the window itself and is listed in the last group above. Every round is one public Binance BTCUSDT candle, the payout is on the button before you tap, and a new round opens every five minutes, so there is nothing to install, no wallet to connect and no bot to keep running. It starts you on a 25 USDT welcome balance, stakes go from a cent, and the result of any round can be checked against Binance in a click.
How much capital does a minute-market bot need?
Less than most strategies — every position resolves within minutes, so there is no lockup — but the taker fee is a fixed cost on every fill and losing streaks of ten windows are normal. Size each window at a small fraction of the bankroll, keep the daily-loss kill switch on, and treat the first weeks as paid data collection rather than income.
