⚡ Ultra-Fast Limit Orders
Execute trades at your exact price point before the market moves, sniping opportunities in high-volatility events like crypto swings or political outcomes.
How the Sniper Works on Polymarket By PolyCop Bot
Prediction markets move fast when something actually happens. A candidate says something unexpected. A score comes in. BTC breaks a key level. The probability on a contract can go from 40% to 75% in the time it takes you to open your browser, find the market, and type in an order — and by the time your market order fills, you're paying 75% for something you wanted at 42%.
That's the problem the sniper feature solves. You set a limit order at your target price before anything happens. The bot watches the market and fires the moment that price is available. On Polygon, execution typically lands within two seconds. You get filled at the price you actually wanted, not the price after everyone else reacted.
It works for slower plays too. If you've done the research and think a contract is mispriced at 60 cents — that it's realistically worth 80 — you can set a sniper order at 58 and walk away. No need to watch a chart waiting for a dip. If the price never hits your target, the order expires and nothing gets bought. No missed trades, no accidental fills.
The fee is the same flat 0.5% as the rest of PolyCop. Polygon gas is essentially zero. The two settings that matter most are slippage tolerance and order lifetime — the settings guide has specific recommendations depending on whether you're trying to catch breaking news or find undervalued entries in slower markets.
