Seven trading bots. Arbitrage scanner, resolution scanner, copy trader, Claude MCP agent, contrarian bot, and a multi-strategy portfolio manager. Working Python code, real fee math, and the position-sizing formula that turns a 68% win rate from a loss into a profit.
You built a bot. It wins 68% of the time. It still loses money. Chapter 10 is why. This playbook walks through the seven trading bots behind the $178K and $203K wallets posted on r/PolymarketProtestClub — arbitrage scanner, resolution scanner, copy trader, Claude MCP agent, contrarian bot, multi-strategy portfolio manager — with working Python code and the fee math most tutorials skip.
