Polymarket News Arbitrage Bot

This bot monitors news feeds and social media for breaking events (e.g., political announcements, economic data) and immediately places trades on related Polymarket contracts before the market fully prices in the information. It uses keyword matching or NLP sentiment scoring to determine direction (YES/NO) and confidence. Entry is triggered by a news signal with a confidence threshold; exit occurs when the market price stabilizes or a trailing stop is hit. The repo (benjee-inc/polymarket-arb-dashboard) includes a live dashboard for monitoring trades. Implementation requires integration with a news API (e.g., NewsAPI, Twitter), Polymarket CLOB API, and sentiment analysis logic. Results depend on speed of execution and accuracy of sentiment analysis—fast execution is critical due to latency advantages.
