✨ Features

Core Functionality

• 📊 Real-time Market Monitoring - Track probability shifts, volume spikes, and market movements
• 🔔 Custom Alerts - Get notified of significant market changes based on your thresholds
• 🐋 Whale Watching - Detect and track large trades as they happen
• 📈 Advanced Analytics - Historical trends, correlations, and predictive signals
• 💼 Portfolio Tracking - Monitor your positions and P&L in real-time
• 📤 Data Export - Export to JSON/CSV for further analysis

Live Data Features ✅

• 100% Current Data - All markets from 2025 or later
• Real Volume - Accurate 24hr trading volumes ($100K+)
• Auto-Validation - Automatically rejects stale or closed markets
• Multi-Source - Integrates Gamma, CLOB, and Subgraph APIs
• Smart Fallback - Automatic failover if one API is down
• Data Freshness - Visual indicators showing market end dates

⚠️ Known Limitations

Due to PolyMarket API constraints, some features have limitations:

• Portfolio Tracking: The Subgraph API has been removed by The Graph. Portfolio tracking shows an informative message but cannot access historical position data.

• Whale Detection: Individual trade data is not exposed by current APIs. The whales command identifies high-volume markets (significant 24hr trading activity) as a proxy for whale activity.

• Historical Replay: The replay command is limited by available market data. Individual historical trades are not accessible from current API endpoints.

• Data Granularity: APIs provide market snapshots and aggregated data, not tick-by-tick real-time updates.

All core monitoring, alerting, and market discovery features work fully with live 2025 data.

🔧 Configuration

PolyTerm uses ~/.polyterm/config.toml for configuration:

[alerts]
probability_threshold = 10.0  # Alert on 10%+ probability shifts
volume_threshold = 50.0       # Alert on 50%+ volume spikes
check_interval = 60           # Check every 60 seconds

[api]
gamma_base_url = "https://gamma-api.polymarket.com"
gamma_markets_endpoint = "/events"  # Live data endpoint
clob_rest_endpoint = "https://clob.polymarket.com"
clob_endpoint = "wss://clob.polymarket.com/ws"
subgraph_endpoint = "https://api.thegraph.com/subgraphs/name/polymarket/matic-markets"

[wallet]
address = ""  # Your wallet address for portfolio tracking

[display]
use_colors = true
max_markets = 20
refresh_rate = 2

[data_validation]
max_market_age_hours = 24      # Reject markets older than 24 hours
require_volume_data = true     # Only show markets with volume
min_volume_threshold = 0.01    # Minimum 24hr volume in USD
reject_closed_markets = true   # Filter out closed markets
enable_api_fallback = true     # Use fallback APIs if primary fails

📊 Data Sources & API

PolyTerm integrates with multiple PolyMarket APIs for comprehensive data:

Primary Sources

1. Gamma Markets API (/events) - Live markets with volume data ✅
2. CLOB API (/sampling-markets) - Current markets (fallback)
3. Subgraph (The Graph) - On-chain historical data

Data Validation

All data is automatically validated for:

• ✅ Current year (2025+)
• ✅ Active/open markets only
• ✅ Real trading volume
• ✅ Recent timestamps
• ✅ Market end dates in future

API Fallback System

Primary: Gamma /events (has volume) 
    ↓ (if fails)
Fallback: CLOB /sampling-markets (current markets)
    ↓ (if fails)
Enrichment: Subgraph (on-chain data)

See API_SETUP.md for detailed API documentation and troubleshooting.

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=polyterm tests/

# Test live data integration
pytest tests/test_live_data/ -v

# Critical tests only
pytest tests/test_live_data/test_integration.py::test_critical_no_old_markets_in_results -v

Verify Live Data

python3 << 'EOF'
from polyterm.api.gamma import GammaClient
from polyterm.api.aggregator import APIAggregator
from polyterm.api.clob import CLOBClient
from polyterm.api.subgraph import SubgraphClient

gamma = GammaClient()
clob = CLOBClient()
subgraph = SubgraphClient()
aggregator = APIAggregator(gamma, clob, subgraph)

# Get top 5 markets
markets = aggregator.get_top_markets_by_volume(limit=5)

print("🔴 TOP 5 MOST ACTIVE MARKETS:")
for i, m in enumerate(markets, 1):
    vol = float(m.get('volume24hr', 0) or 0)
    print(f"{i}. {m.get('question', 'Unknown')[:60]}")
    print(f"   24hr Volume: ${vol:,.2f}\n")
EOF

Expected output:

🔴 TOP 5 MOST ACTIVE MARKETS:
1. What price will Ethereum hit in 2025?
   24hr Volume: $203,519.22

2. What price will Bitcoin hit in 2025?
   24hr Volume: $122,038.38

🚨 Troubleshooting

No markets showing up?

# Lower volume threshold
polyterm config --set data_validation.min_volume_threshold 0.01

# Or disable volume requirement
polyterm config --set data_validation.require_volume_data false

Getting old markets from 2024 or earlier?

This shouldn't happen anymore! The app now validates all data. If you see this:

# Verify your config
polyterm config --get api.gamma_markets_endpoint
# Should return: /events

# Test the API directly
curl "https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/events?active=true&closed=false&limit=5"

Rate limiting issues?

# Increase refresh interval
polyterm monitor --refresh 10  # 10 second refresh

# Set in config
polyterm config --set display.refresh_rate 10

All volume showing $0?

The app now requires volume by default. If needed:

polyterm config --set data_validation.require_volume_data false

For more troubleshooting, see API_SETUP.md
