How bot limits work
Limits are hard caps. The bot checks them before every order and never goes past them. Our servers check them again on their side, so a limit holds even if the page is closed.
Position size
How much the bot puts into one trade.
Each strategy needs a certain amount to take every signal: an order on Polymarket is at least 5 shares, and a share can cost up to about 67¢ for our strategies. Below that amount some signals are skipped, they are not made bigger. The recommended value covers every signal of your strategy.
Max open positions and Max total exposure
How many trades can be open at once, and how much money they can hold together.
Example: with 3 open positions allowed, at most three positions' worth of money is in trades at the same time.
Managed capital
How much of your Polymarket balance the bot may use. Money above it stays untouched. The recommended value is your current balance, or 30 positions' worth if we can't read it yet.
Daily loss limit
If the day's realized losses reach this amount, the bot stops opening new trades until the next day (00:00 UTC). Open trades are still managed.
We recommend about 10 positions' worth. The worst day of these strategies so far lost about 8 positions' worth, so 10 doesn't stop ordinary trading but does stop a run that is worse than anything seen before.
Profit handling
Keep allocation fixed: the bot keeps using the same Managed capital. Reinvest profits: winnings are added to Managed capital, so positions can be placed from them too. Position size does not grow by itself.
Use recommended
The Use recommended button fills every field from your plan, your strategy and your Polymarket balance: position size that covers every signal, as many open positions as your plan allows, a daily stop of 10 positions, and capital equal to your balance. A field you changed can be put back with the small button next to it. Nothing is saved until you press Continue.
Turning a limit off
On the Bot tab you can switch Max total exposure or Daily loss limit to No limit. Then only your balance and the other limits stop the bot. We don't recommend turning off the daily loss limit: without it a bad streak can use a large part of your wallet in one day.
