What GoodFallen does
Self-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.
Features- Full Python source, run on your own computer or VPS; orders go straight from your machine to Polymarket and the wallet key stays there
- Buys both Up and Down through the window, at the ask and as resting bids; never sells, holds to settlement
- Paper mode on live order books and real settlements, charging every taker fee and adding only the rebate rate you set, zero by default
- Daily loss limit that cancels open orders and halts trading, an exposure cap and a STOP file
- Winning shares redeemed automatically about a minute after each close
- The account checks out. On Oct 20, 2026 Polymarket's APIs showed @GoodFallen opened on Jul 16, 2026, $10.8 million traded across 23,276 markets, a profile profit of $192,667 before fees and 13th place on the month's Crypto leaderboard by profit. Its last 500 actions were 486 buys and 14 redemptions, with no sells.
- The site does the fee arithmetic itself, and the numbers hold. Polymarket's P&L feed puts the trading result at +$192,667 and taker fees at $126,223; the account's activity feed lists $60,015 in taker rebates over 93 daily payouts and $6,950 more for its resting orders. That leaves about $133,400 net, the figure the site prints, and half of it is rebates. Polymarket's all-time leaderboard, which counts fees but not rebates, credits the account with $66,252. Rebuilt from the same data, the daily log matches the site's: 80 of 95 days in profit, the worst −$1,658 on Sep 15.
- Two things the page does not stress. The account trades almost only Bitcoin's 5-minute windows: in samples spread over three months we found Ethereum once and no Solana or 15-minute fills, so the other markets the bot supports have no public record here. And both sides does not mean balanced: in a typical window the smaller side was about two-thirds of the larger, and the window the site charted when we read it held 155 Up shares against 378 Down, so each window still leans one way.
What ZCL Bot does
Self-hosted TypeScript bot for Polymarket's 5-minute crypto Up or Down markets on Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, sold on Gumroad as full source for $99 once. It watches Binance's 5-minute candles and, after a run of same-direction candles, buys the opposite side of the next window. A losing bet is followed by a bigger one on a martingale ladder until a set number of losses stops the chain, with a price cap for each step, cancelling of unfilled orders near the close and automatic redemption of winnings. Backtest, paper and live modes are built in, and live orders need two separate switches turned on. The name, 斩长龙, is Chinese for “slaying the long dragon”: betting against a streak.
Features- Full TypeScript source and a compiled build; runs on Node 18+ on Windows, macOS or Linux, with the wallet key kept on your machine
- Signal: N same-direction Binance 5-minute candles in a row, then a buy on the opposite side of the next window
- Martingale ladder: each loss multiplies the next stake by a set factor, up to a maximum number of steps, then the chain stops
- Maximum buy price for each step of the ladder
- Cancels orders still unfilled near the end of a window
- There is no record to check. The seller, “kai xie” on Gumroad, has no other products, no reviews, no stated sales count, no website and no Polymarket account or wallet linked to the bot, so the strategy has to be judged on its own. In the category where live results are the easiest to show, that is a gap.
- The signal is thin. We pulled 90 days of Binance 5-minute candles, Aug 14 to Nov 12, 2026, and counted how often the next candle reversed a run. After three to five candles the same way it reversed 51–56% of the time across the three coins: a slight lean toward reversal, not a strong one, and it did not grow steadily with longer runs. Polymarket's crypto taker fee at 50¢ is 3.5% of the money spent, so a buy at 50¢ needs a 51.75% hit rate to break even before the spread. The edge, if there is one, is about the size of the fee. Polymarket also settles these markets on Chainlink's price, not Binance's candle, so the two do not always agree.
- The martingale does not change that arithmetic; it changes the shape of the losses. Doubling from a $1 stake, a chain stopped after six losses costs $63 plus fees to win back $1, and long runs come in clusters on 5-minute candles. The seller says this plainly: the page gives the maximum loss of a chain as base stake × (factor^n − 1)/(factor − 1) plus fees, calls these markets close to coin flips and promises no return. Use the backtest and paper modes with Polymarket's current fee before funding a wallet, and size the base stake from the chain's maximum loss, not from the hoped-for win.
