N 00 / Prediction Market Strategies

Build, test, and run Polymarket/Kalshi strategies.

Find a strategy template, clone a public playbook, or bring your own Python. Paper-trade against live prediction-market data with hard limits, logs, fills, and P&L. Live execution is not yet available in the public beta.

test -> paper fills on live market data

N 01 / Strategy Library

Start with a playbook.

Most users should not start from a blank editor. Start from a strategy, inspect the assumptions, run it in paper, then decide whether the idea behaves as intended.

    Polymarket Long-Tail Liquidity Provider

    A market-making style strategy on long-tail Polymarket markets. Places small bids and asks around the midpoint to capture spread. Educational only: real market-making needs inventory management and adverse-selection protection that a v0 strategy can't do safely. Use as a starting point.

  • Banger Demo

    Kalshi NFL Underdog Catch

    Buys YES on Kalshi NFL game-line markets where the spread has moved against the underdog by ≥3 points in the final 6 hours before kickoff. Late line moves often overshoot; this fades the overshoot. Requires KALSHI_API_KEY_ID + KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY in your venue credentials.

    Polymarket Volume Surge Follow

    When a Polymarket market sees a sudden volume spike with directional move, follow it for a small position. Treats high-conviction informed flow as signal. Filters: min volume_24h, min absolute price move in the last hour, max position size capped tight.

N 02 / Workflow

From idea to observable paper.

  • 01

    Find or build a strategy

    Start from a Polymarket or Kalshi template, clone a public strategy, paste Python, or generate a first draft with your AI tool.

  • 02

    Paper-trade safely

    Run against live market data first. Inspect simulated fills, logs, positions, and P&L before any real order is allowed.

  • 03

    Review with evidence

    Inspect fills, logs, drawdown, and behavior over time. Live execution remains disabled during the public paper beta.

  • 04

    Manage every action

    Track fills, performance snapshots, logs, and stop controls across all running deployments from one surface.

N 03 / Risk controls

Paper testing starts with hard limits.

Banger should make the risk boundary more obvious than the trade. Every deployment path is built around caps, allowed markets, and a stop button. Venue credentials are not required for paper mode.

Per-trade cap

Maximum dollars any strategy can place on one order.

Daily loss stop

New orders halt when a deployment breaches your loss limit.

Market allowlist

Restrict a strategy to chosen venues, categories, or tickers.

Paper-first design

The same strategy interface is being hardened before live release.

Kill switch

Stop the deployment from the dashboard or CLI.

N 04 / Visibility

Know what the strategy did.

Fills

Every simulated fill tied to venue, market, side, size, and price.

Logs

Strategy and runtime logs stream back to the deployment timeline.

P&L

Performance snapshots, open positions, realized and unrealized P&L.

The pitch is not that every strategy wins. The pitch is that every strategy can be tested, constrained, inspected, and stopped without rebuilding the same brittle bot infrastructure.

N 05 / Build

Customize with Python or AI.

Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT are useful for drafting strategy code. They are not the product. Banger is where the strategy gets tested, constrained, activated, and monitored.

N 06 / Why now

Manual traders are competing with automated markets.

$40M

reported as extracted by arbitrage bots on Polymarket between April 2024 and April 2025. Of the top 20 wallets, 14 were reported as bots. In short-duration crypto markets, bots accounted for 55-62% of volume.

The conclusion is not that everyone should trust a black-box agent. The conclusion is that strategy testing, activation, and monitoring need to be built like a product.

FAQ

Common questions

What is Banger?
Banger is a strategy-automation runtime for prediction markets. You write or clone a strategy and run it in paper mode against live Polymarket and Kalshi data with logs, simulated fills, and risk controls.
Is Banger free?
The Free plan includes up to 3 strategies and 3 concurrent paper deployments. Paid tiers add paper capacity, MCP access, and higher AI-authoring limits; live execution is not yet available.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You can clone a strategy from the marketplace and configure it with simple form fields. If you do write code, strategies are real Python implementing the banger.Strategy interface.
Which venues does Banger support?
Banger currently consumes public market data from Polymarket and Kalshi for paper testing. Real-money venue availability depends on the user's jurisdiction and current venue terms.
Does Banger hold my funds or keys?
Banger does not custody funds. Venue credentials are not needed for public-beta paper trading; future live execution will remain opt-in and use encrypted credentials.
Is it legal to run a trading bot on prediction markets?
Rules differ by venue and jurisdiction and can change. Banger's public beta is paper-only; users must review current venue terms and obtain their own legal advice before any future real-money use.
