What is arbitrage-trading-bot?

This is an automated trading bot for Polymarket, a prediction market platform where people bet on the outcomes of events, in this case, binary crypto markets where you bet whether a cryptocurrency price will go UP or DOWN within a set time window. Rather than placing bets manually, this bot monitors live prices every second and executes buy or sell orders automatically based on rules you configure. The bot connects to Polymarket's CLOB (Central Limit Order Book, an exchange mechanism that matches buyers and sellers), reads the current buy and sell prices for UP and DOWN outcome tokens, and applies one of two configurable strategies. The first strategy ("trade_1") only exits existing positions when certain time or price thresholds are reached. The second ("trade_2") also enters new positions and can "emergency swap" from one side to the other if conditions shift rapidly. Your trading rules are defined in a configuration file called trade.toml, where you set things like which cryptocurrency to trade, which time window (5, 15, 60, 240, or 1440 minutes), order size in US dollars, and the specific ratio thresholds that trigger entries and exits. The bot executes orders through a Gnosis Safe proxy wallet, a type of blockchain wallet on the Polygon network, funded with USDC (a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar). It's written in TypeScript and runs on Node.js. The README notes that binary prediction markets carry full loss risk and recommends starting with small amounts.
