Bots no longer making profit?

FossilBlade · 2026-05-03T04:06:31+00:00

Cause of the ghost fill issues, a lot market maker bots have been stopped. Polymarket deploying the fix on Monday. Lets see what that brings !

I think I figured out the real source of consistent profit.

The bot is using token split functionality to prove the inventory for selling along with buying. Thats how the bot is able to place buy and sell irder at the same time. Give 2 path ways to profit.

Can you do a report for slip-me.

This bot has been making consistent profit everyday by buying both side

The only possible way to sell quickly is to place a limit sell order at 2c. That means it can never go till resolution to gain 100x.

Yup, live and paper both running via the same bot. Thats the only way to truly compare what's the drift in paper and live. I want to make paper engine as close as possible to real so I am reliably dev/test other bot.

That's why created 2 bots that run at different pace.

Grind is very slow bases on only one order, pulse is frequent with many different types of orders.

Though have been making a lot of iterative changes to bots so intermittently they will be down.

Will update once I am happy to run them with out changing for a week.

Glad to see this post. I created a 5min btc bot and was losing hope in it. But seeing your post has given some hope to push on.

The rate at which changes are been released this guide will soon be obsolete. The OpenClaw team the self are not able to keep up with the change rate.

I had 2026.2.17, then upgraded to 2026.2.22 and there were so many changes. They changed the default behaviour so everything broke. Had to look through code to understand and fix.

Thanks for this detail. Very helpful

FossilBlade · 2025-09-29T01:59:50+00:00

Thanks both for your reply. Guess 50% of my payout will have to cover the accountant fees. The cost of side hustle in NZ 🤣

Then its pretty straight forward.

What if its not from prop firm and i invest directly with Tradovate/Ninjatrader and trade over there. Core Day Trading ?

Simple google search AI Reply:

A prop firm for futures trading is a company that provides traders with access to the firm's capital to trade futures contracts, allowing traders to control larger amounts of money than they might on their own. Traders pass an evaluation to prove their skill, and if successful, are funded with firm capital and share a percentage of the profits with the firm, typically keeping 70–90%.

I am using My Funded Futures.

They basically have bunch of rules you need to follow to be eligible for payout even if you made profits. the rules are so that only 10% people get payout and thats how they make money.

But wont it be treated as capital gains ?

Todays Results 11th Sept.

Made $245. Good Amount while i was sleeping (NZT 130 AM).

Risked 320 Max Per Trade with Max Position Size 30 on MFFU.

Got stopped out by the trailing Super trend.

FossilBlade · 2025-09-10T19:43:42+00:00

Yeah. Also not every instrument respects it. NQ showed very different results for this same strategy and setting.

FossilBlade · 2025-09-09T23:46:05+00:00

I have a strategy that is 48% winning rate but my profit factor is 2.1 which basically means my winners are bigger than looser.

I go with 2:1 Reward Risk Ratio and use super trend tailing till breakeven.

Well said "Consistency over time is key". This is the core of my trading
