Alerts & Notifications

Polyman sends real-time Telegram messages for trade executions, daily PnL summaries, and whale activity on watched traders.

Alert Types

Trade Executed

Sent immediately when a copy trade is placed. Includes market, position, size, and current probability.

Trade Failed

Sent if a copy trade fails. Includes reason (insufficient balance, slippage, etc.) and retry status.

Daily PnL Summary

Sent at midnight UTC. Includes total PnL, win/loss count, and top performing copied trade.

Whale Alert

Sent when a watched trader opens a new position. Includes market, direction, and size.

Loss Limit Hit

Sent when daily loss limit is reached. Copy trading is paused until the next UTC day.

Risk Management

Polyman includes multiple layers of risk protection to prevent catastrophic losses from copy trading.

›Per-Trade Max Bet

Set a maximum USDC amount per copied trade. Even if the original trader bets $100K, your copy is capped at your limit.

›Daily Loss Limit

If your total daily PnL drops below the configured threshold, all copy trading is automatically paused until the next UTC day.

›Probability Filters

Skip markets that are too certain (>90%) or too unlikely (<10%) to avoid copying degenerate bets.

›Category Filters

Only copy trades in categories you understand. Avoid copying political trades if you don't follow politics.

›Slippage Protection

Polyman sets a 2% slippage tolerance by default. Trades that would execute at worse prices are rejected.
