Connect your integrations

Choose how you want to receive signals and execute trades. You can configure one or more of these — none are mandatory to get started.

Webhook

Send signals to your own server or bot. No Polymarket credentials needed. Great for custom integrations.

Payload reference
Telegram

Get alerts in a Telegram chat for every signal, execution, and daily summary.

Polymarket

Connect your Polymarket wallet to let PolySpy execute trades automatically on your behalf.

You can configure all three, or just one — it's up to you. Webhooks are the easiest way to start receiving signals without sharing any credentials.

3

Create your first strategy

The strategy builder walks you through four sections: signal sources, entry sizing, risk controls, and exit rules. Start simple — you can always fine-tune later.

Recommended first-strategy settings
  • Start with Copy Trading and Fresh Wallet detection for the broadest signal coverage
  • Use Fixed sizing mode for simplicity while you learn how signals behave
  • Consider configuring a stop-loss and daily loss limit to manage downside risk
  • Start in paper mode and evaluate performance before committing real capital

Activate in paper mode

Every strategy starts in paper mode by default. Paper mode uses the same signal detection and execution logic as live mode, but simulates trades instead of placing real orders. This lets you validate performance risk-free before committing capital.

Review results and go live

When you're ready, switch to live mode from the strategy detail page. Your dashboard tracks P&L, win rate, open positions, and full trade history across all strategies. Be aware that paper performance does not guarantee live results — strategies often lose alpha when trading with real money due to market impact, slippage, and other participants reacting to the same signals.
