Bosona vs StepAhead

What Bosona does

Self-hosted Python bot for Polymarket's crypto Up or Down markets, sold as full source for $499 once and backed by the public Polymarket account its seller runs it on, @bosona. It does not call direction: near the open it buys whichever side is a little cheaper, buys the other side once the price swings and the pair costs well under $1, and merges each Up and Down pair back into $1 before the close. It never sells; whatever is left unpaired rides to the result. Three of every four fills are in Bitcoin's 5-minute windows, with 15-minute to daily windows and five other coins on the side. Paper mode, a daily loss stop, an exposure cap and setup through an AI coding assistant are built in.

• Full Python source, run on your own computer or VPS; orders are signed there and the wallet key stays on that machine
• Opens near a coin flip on the cheaper side, then buys the other side once the pair costs well under $1
• Merges every Up and Down pair back into $1 during the window, so the cash returns before the close; never sells
• Late in the window buys the losing side at 1–10¢ as a cheap ticket on a reversal
• Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and BNB windows, from 5 minutes to a day

• The account checks out, and the site understates it. @bosona is Polymarket wallet 0xc2ad…40ed, opened on May 21, 2026, with its first fill on Jun 2. On Nov 10, 2026 Polymarket's P&L feed, which counts fees and rebates, had it at +$505,000 on $28.3 million traded; the site's $472K and $26.7M are where the profile stood in the first days of November. Polymarket's all-time leaderboard, which counts fees but not rebates, credits it with $436,291, 478th place. Every month has ended up: +$52K, +$86K, +$134K, +$102K and +$96K from June to October, and +$34K in the first ten days of November. The deepest drop from a high was about $6,800, from Oct 17 to 21, and 27 of 161 days closed down.
• Most of it is trading, not rebates. Of the $505,000, about $68,500 came from Polymarket's rebates and liquidity rewards, roughly 14%; before them the account is up $436,000 after $51,400 of taker fees. The rebates it does earn are mostly for resting orders, $55,200 against $8,600 for taker fills, which fits how it trades: of its latest 500 fills on Nov 10, 463 were resting bids that someone else hit. Since so little of it hangs on the rebate tier, a small account gives up less of the result than with bots whose records are mostly rebates.
• The site's sample holds up. Rebuilt from the account's activity for Oct 30 to Nov 3, Eastern time, we count 19,225 fills, every one a buy, beside 614 merges and 2,906 redemptions; 76% of the fills were in Bitcoin's 5-minute windows and 92% in Bitcoin overall. Its 1,215 Bitcoin 5-minute markets returned $353,971 in merges and payouts on $344,636 spent, about +$9,300, in line with the site's +$7,797 on a narrower 1,079. The window the site charts, Nov 2, 11:20–11:25 AM ET, matches the fills to the cent: $131.88 spent, 255 pairs merged for $255.12, +$123.24.
