OpenClaw 评估

The skill's purpose (near-expiry trading on Polymarket) matches most of the code, but there are transparency and scope inconsistencies around requested secrets and environment variables that the user should understand before installing (notably an undeclared wallet private key and other env vars read by the code).

# Mert Sniper

Near-expiry conviction trading on Polymarket. Snipe markets about to resolve when the odds are heavily skewed.

> Strategy by [@mert](https://x.com/mert/status/2020216613279060433) — filter by topic, cap your bets, wait until near expiry, and only trade strong splits.

> **This is a template.** The default logic (expiry + split filter) gets you started — remix it with your own filters, timing rules, or market selection criteria. The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, trade execution, safeguards). Your agent provides the alpha.

## When to Use This Skill

> **Polymarket only.** All trades execute on Polymarket with real USDC. Use `--live` for real trades, dry-run is the default.

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Trade markets that are about to resolve (last-minute conviction bets)
- Filter by topic (e.g. only SOL/crypto markets)
- Cap bet size (e.g. never more than $10)
- Only trade when odds are strongly skewed (e.g. 60/40 or better)
- Run an automated expiry-sniping strategy

## Setup Flow

1. **Ask for Simmer API key**
   - Get it from simmer.markets/dashboard -> SDK tab
   - Store in environment as `SIMMER_API_KEY`

2. **Ask for wallet private key** (required for live trading)
   - This is the private key for their Polymarket wallet (the wallet that holds USDC)
   - Store in environment as `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY`
   - The SDK uses this to sign orders client-side automatically — no manual signing needed

3. **Ask about settings** (or confirm defaults)
   - Market filter: Which markets to scan (default: all)
   - Max bet: Maximum per trade (default $10)
   - Expiry window: How close to resolution (default 2 minutes)
   - Min split: Minimum odds skew (default 60/40)

4. **Save settings to config.json or environment variables**

## Configuration

| Setting | Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---------|---------------------|---------|-------------|
| Market filter | `SIMMER_MERT_FILTER` | (all) | Tag or keyword filter (e.g. `solana`, `crypto`) |
| Max bet | `SIMMER_MERT_MAX_BET` | 10.00 | Maximum USD per trade |
| Expiry window | `SIMMER_MERT_EXPIRY_MINS` | 2 | Only trade markets resolving within N minutes |
| Min split | `SIMMER_MERT_MIN_SPLIT` | 0.60 | Only trade when YES or NO >= this (e.g. 0.60 = 60/40) |
| Max trades/run | `SIMMER_MERT_MAX_TRADES` | 5 | Maximum trades per scan cycle |
| Smart sizing % | `SIMMER_MERT_SIZING_PCT` | 0.05 | % of balance per trade |

## Quick Commands

```bash
# Check account balance and positions
python scripts/status.py

# Detailed position list
python scripts/status.py --positions
```

**API Reference:**
- Base URL: `https://api.simmer.markets`
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer $SIMMER_API_KEY`
- Portfolio: `GET /api/sdk/portfolio`
- Positions: `GET /api/sdk/positions`

## Running the Skill

```bash
# Dry run (default -- shows opportunities, no trades)
python mert_sniper.py

# Execute real trades
python mert_sniper.py --live

# Filter to specific markets
python mert_sniper.py --filter solana

# Custom expiry window (5 minutes)
python mert_sniper.py --expiry 5

# With smart position sizing (uses portfolio balance)
python mert_sniper.py --live --smart-sizing

# Check positions only
python mert_sniper.py --positions

# View config
python mert_sniper.py --config

# Disable safeguards (not recommended)
python mert_sniper.py --no-safeguards
```

## How It Works

Each cycle the script:
1. Fetches active markets from Simmer API (optionally filtered by tag/keyword)
2. Filters to markets resolving within the expiry window (default 2 minutes)
3. Checks the price split -- only trades when one side >= min_split (default 60%)
4. Determines direction: backs the favored side (higher probability)
5. **Safeguards**: Checks context for flip-flop warnings, slippage, market status
6. **Execution**: Places trade on the favored side, capped at max bet
7. Reports summary of scanned, filtered, and traded markets

## Example Output

```
🎯 Mert Sniper - Near-Expiry Conviction Trading
==================================================

  [DRY RUN] No trades will be executed. Use --live to enable trading.

  Configuration:
  Filter:        solana
  Max bet:       $10.00
  Expiry window: 2 minutes
  Min split:     60/40
  Max trades:    5
  Smart sizing:  Disabled
  Safeguards:    Enabled

  Fetching markets (filter: solana)...
  Found 12 active markets

  Markets expiring within 2 minutes: 2

  SOL highest price on Feb 10?
     Resolves in: 1m 34s
     Split: YES 72% / NO 28%
     Side: YES (72% >= 60%)
     [DRY RUN] Would buy $10.00 on YES

  Summary:
  Markets scanned: 12
  Near expiry:     2
  Strong split:    1
  Trades executed: 0

  [DRY RUN MODE - no real trades executed]
```

## Troubleshooting

**"No markets found"**
- Check your filter -- try without a filter first
- Markets may not be available (check simmer.markets)

**"No markets expiring within window"**
- Increase expiry window: `--expiry 10` (10 minutes)
- Or run more frequently (cron every minute)

**"Split too narrow"**
- Lower the min split: `--set min_split=0.55`
- This trades more often but with less conviction

**"Resolves in: 17h" on 15-min markets**
- Polymarket's `endDate` is the event-level end-of-day, not the individual market close time
- For 15-min crypto markets (e.g. "BTC Up or Down - Feb 8, 11PM ET"), the actual close time is in the question text but not in the API
- This is a Polymarket data limitation — widen the expiry window (`--expiry 1080`) as a workaround, or use the split filter to find conviction opportunities regardless of timing

**"External wallet requires a pre-signed order"**
- `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY` is not set in the environment
- The SDK signs orders automatically when this env var is present — no manual signing code needed
- Fix: `export WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x<your-polymarket-wallet-private-key>`
- Do NOT attempt to sign orders manually or modify the skill code — the SDK handles it

**"Balance shows $0 but I have USDC on Polygon"**
- Polymarket uses **USDC.e** (bridged USDC, contract `0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174`) — not native USDC
- If you bridged USDC to Polygon recently, you likely received native USDC
- Swap native USDC to USDC.e, then retry

**"API key invalid"**
- Get new key from simmer.markets/dashboard -> SDK tab
