Trade Polymarket from WhatsApp: OpenClaw Automation Guide

About This Guide

The Polymarket Trading Automation Guide shows you how to build an OpenClaw agent that monitors prediction markets on Polymarket and executes trades automatically based on configurable rules. Polymarket uses USDC on the Polygon blockchain for settlement, so the guide covers setting up a Polygon wallet, funding it with USDC, and authenticating with the Polymarket CLOB API using API key credentials tied to your wallet address. You will learn how to fetch market data and order books, place limit and market orders programmatically, track open positions, and configure WhatsApp or Telegram alerts for fills and position changes. The guide includes a backtesting framework for testing strategies against historical market data before deploying real capital. Risk management rules and position sizing logic are also covered. Estimated time to a running automated agent is 2-3 hours. Requires basic Python knowledge and a funded Polygon wallet with USDC.
