What 5MTBot is actually trading

Polymarket runs crypto up or down markets that open and settle on a clock of every 5 minutes. One question decides everything: is the price higher or lower when the round ends? Get it right and every share you hold settles at $1. Get it wrong and it settles at $0.

5MTBot takes those positions on your behalf. It follows live pricing, calls UP or DOWN according to the strategy you picked, and buys through your own wallet, then holds until the round settles. Your funds never sit with 5MTBot; everything executes on Polymarket itself against pUSD collateral on Polygon.

The strategy and the rules are yours. Timing, order placement and the risk ceilings are the bot's job.

Dial in your own rules under Settings, or open the app and follow the rounds live.
