Building a Polymarket Copy-Trading Bot, Part 9: Turning It Off A quick note on language and scope before I get into it. I write this series in English because Polymarket isn’t accessible in every jurisdiction, and English reaches the widest audience of people who might actually run something like this. On the money side, I … Read more

The Connection That Lies to You A quick note on language and scope before we get into it. I write this series in English because Polymarket isn’t accessible in every jurisdiction, and the audience for this kind of technical detail is scattered globally. I also stay deliberately vague about anything that constitutes edge — which … Read more

A note on language and opacity I write this series in English because Polymarket itself operates in English and is inaccessible in a number of jurisdictions — writing in English keeps the audience roughly aligned with the platform.

The first two were about things that refused to work: orders that were rejected before they could exist, and a logging bug that hid every other bug behind it. This one is … Read more

In Part 1 I fixed the obvious things — contract approvals, the signature type, and filtering out closed markets — and orders finally started flowing. Then, weeks later, they stopped again.
