What Uruguabot does
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.
Features- Full Python source, one-time purchase, bilingual EN/ES docs
- Published trade-by-trade record on GitHub: 4,086 gen-1 trades, 97 live gen-2 fills, raw CSVs under CC BY 4.0
- Dry-run simulator calibrated with slippage distributions measured from real fills, not zero-friction backtests
- Ghost-fill detection via USDC balance delta with on-chain fallback — the bug it fixes cost more than the strategy earned
- Asymmetric exits: stop at execution minus 10¢, winners held to $1 resolution
- Enters on multi-timeframe momentum consensus (30s/1m/5m) with entry gates — but the published audit shows the edge came from exit asymmetry, not prediction accuracy.
- Cuts losers at execution price minus 10¢ and holds winners to binary resolution, so average wins run about 3× average losses at a 40% win rate.
- Simulates first by default using friction measured from its own real fills, then requires deliberate opt-in for live trading.
