Indie Trader Builds Quant Bot with Claude, Nets Over $210K in 64 Days
expertwith_AI · x · 2026-07-07
According to @expertwithAI, an independent trader built a quantitative trading bot using Claude and the Polymarket API. Running for 64 days since April 5, the bot executed 48,018 predictions (31 trades per hour) with a 52% win rate. The account grew from $304,800 to $372,000, yielding a 71.7% total ROI and averaging about $3,413 in daily profit. Core logic: Polymarket odds have a 30-90 second lag following news releases, during which the bot enters to arbitrage and then exits. This showcases a viable path for individuals to monetize AI combined with prediction markets.
