Polymarket Bitcoin 5min up down trading Betting Automation Bot

Hi need to make a bot to work on Polymarket 5 min BTC up down market.

logic is simple (provided), should only take very few hours. follow up work to continue most likely.
should be 90% doable with AI vibe coding.

prefer node js but py also ok.



I need a small, self-contained script that runs on Windows and talks directly to Polymarket. The bot must do two things reliably:

1. Monitor live Bitcoin price feeds so it always knows the latest spot price.
2. Use that data to place bets on Polymarket automatically whenever preset market-condition rules are met.

A simple command-line interface is all I want; I’ll launch the bot from PowerShell, pass a few flags or an .ini file with my thresholds, and let it work. No GUI, no web panel—just clean CLI output with clear logging so I can audit every action the bot takes.

I’m comfortable editing configs, but I don’t want to touch the source. Please keep the code readable (Python is preferred, but another language is fine if dependencies are straightforward) and document any API keys or Polymarket authentication steps in a short README.

Deliverables
• Source code with clear configuration section
• README covering setup, required libraries, and usage examples
• A quick test demonstrating the bot tracking price and simulating a bet (paper mode) so I can confirm logic before going live

Acceptance Criteria
• Bot starts from the command line without errors on Windows 10/11
• Real-time BTC price updates display in the console
• When a rule triggers, the bot places—or in test mode, simulates placing—a bet and logs the transaction with timestamp, stake, and market odds

If you’ve built trading or prediction-market bots before, tell me; otherwise, show you can meet the criteria above and I’m happy to get this moving.
