Backtest it at your size before it trades
The builder replays the wallet or signal at your size against recorded Polymarket trades and shows every match behind the number. Signal backtests split the history into a training period and a validation period, so a rule that only fits the past shows up before it costs you. Then paper mode tracks new trades with virtual money, scored as each market settles.
Polymarket US and Polymarket Global are separate accounts
Polymarket Global runs on Polygon and signs every order in your browser wallet. Polymarket US is the regulated US exchange with its own accounts, balances, books and API credentials.
- Polymarket Global. The live feed, wallet records, alerts, backtests and paper bots, with the terminal's order ticket placing a trade from your connected wallet when you decide to.
- Polymarket US. Live signal bots place real orders through your own connected Polymarket US account, inside your per-trade and per-day ceilings.
Rivo never routes between the two, and the builder shows which modes each venue offers before you save.
Stay in control of a live bot
- Two ceilings, both yours. A maximum per trade and a maximum per day. The bot stops at both.
- It skips rather than chases. A trade past the window, a book too thin to fill, or a price that has already decided the market is skipped and logged.
- It stops itself. Three execution failures in a row pause the bot.
- Exits are yours. Close by hand, or arm a stop-loss and take-profit per position.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Polymarket trading bot?
A bot that makes Polymarket trades for you when something happens. In Rivo it trades when a wallet you chose opens a position, when an incoming trade fits a signal you built, or when one market's price hits your rule. It can alert you, trade on paper at your size, or place a real order where the venue supports a live bot.
Can a bot trade live on Polymarket?
On Polymarket US, yes: a signal bot places real orders through your own connected Polymarket US account. On Polymarket Global, orders are signed in your browser wallet, so a bot there runs as alerts and on paper, and the terminal's order ticket places the trade from your wallet when you decide to.
Which wallets can a bot copy?
Any tracked Polymarket wallet with a public record. Every profile shows the trades Rivo saw, how they settled, and the profit computed from those outcomes, not a number the wallet reported. A profile hands the wallet straight into the builder.
Does the bot need my private key?
No. A paper bot needs nothing. A live bot on Polymarket US uses the API credentials you connect in settings and can revoke at any time. Rivo never asks for a wallet private key and never holds a balance for you.
What can a signal match on Polymarket?
Venue, category, minimum trade size, keywords in the market title, specific markets, an entry price band, and whether the whale opened a position, added to one, or flipped sides. Four templates give you a working signal in one click.
How much does it cost?
Every bot is part of the subscription at $9 a week or $15 a month, with no charge per bot and no cut of your trades. Just one trade can pay for it. Venue fees are paid to the venue.
