What Changed

PolySnipe Bot has just shipped a significant update. Two features traders have been asking for since launch are now live:

  1. BTC 15-minute market support — all 8 strategies now work on the Polymarket BTC 15-minute prediction market, not just the 5-minute window.
  2. Active days and active hours scheduling — you can now restrict any strategy to specific days of the week and specific hours of the day, giving you precise control over when the bot is live.

Here is everything you need to know about both changes.

BTC 15-Minute Market Support

The Polymarket BTC 15-minute market runs alongside the 5-minute market but with a longer window, different liquidity profile, and a different microstructure rhythm. Some setups that are too slow for the 5-minute window become viable entries in the 15-minute context.

All 8 built-in strategies — Reversal Snipe, Collapse Snipe, Conviction, Late Flip, Mid Flip, Scalp, Deep Discount Fade, and Resolution Snipe — are now fully compatible with the 15-minute market. The timing thresholds and signal windows are adapted automatically to the longer market duration.

Why the 15-minute market matters

  • More time per window — entries that require 30–90 seconds to confirm are viable in the 15-minute market but too slow for the 5-minute market
  • Different token price dynamics — the longer window produces different probability curves, which suits strategies like Conviction and Mid Flip that rely on directional momentum building over time
  • Complementary edge — running the bot across both markets means you are not sitting idle between 5-minute resolutions. The markets interleave, so you have continuous coverage

You can run strategies independently on each market. Configure the 5-minute and 15-minute markets with different strategy profiles, different position sizes, and different risk thresholds — or mirror the same config across both. It is entirely up to you.

Active Days — Run Strategies Only On Your Schedule

The active days feature lets you specify which days of the week each strategy is allowed to fire. If a day is not in your active list, the bot skips that day entirely regardless of signal conditions.

Why this matters

Crypto prediction markets behave differently across the week. BTC volatility patterns, liquidity depth, and market participation all shift between weekdays and weekends. If you have backtested and found that a particular strategy underperforms on Saturdays, you can now simply exclude Saturdays from that strategy's active schedule.

Practical use cases:

  • Weekend exclusion — some traders disable automation entirely over the weekend when liquidity is thinner and outcomes are harder to predict
  • Weekday-only profiles — running a high-frequency strategy only Monday through Friday when BTC correlation with macro events is higher
  • Day-specific playbooks — enabling a contrarian fade strategy only on days where historical performance has been strongest

Active Hours — Fine-Grained Time Control

Active hours takes the same concept one level deeper. You can now specify a time window — a start hour and end hour — during which each strategy is permitted to run. Outside those hours, the bot pauses automatically.

Why this matters

Markets are not uniform across the 24-hour clock. US market open (around 14:30–16:00 UTC) historically produces sharper moves and more reliable signal confirmation in BTC-related markets. Asian session hours may be quieter. If your edge is concentrated in a specific session, there is no reason to deploy capital outside it.

Use cases:

  • Session filtering — run Reversal Snipe only during London or New York session hours when liquidity is deepest
  • Overnight off switch — disable all strategies during low-volume overnight hours to reduce noise trades
  • Personal schedule alignment — if you want to monitor the bot's first few trades of the day before leaving it unattended, set active hours to start after you are at your desk

Active days and active hours can be set independently per strategy. You can have one strategy running 24/7, another restricted to Monday through Friday only, and a third running only between 13:00 and 21:00 UTC — all simultaneously.

How to Configure

Both features are configured through the existing strategy settings panel in the bot's interface. For each strategy:

  1. Open the strategy configuration screen
  2. Navigate to the Schedule section
  3. Toggle the days you want active (all 7 are enabled by default)
  4. Set an optional active hours range (leave blank for 24-hour operation)
  5. Save and the schedule takes effect immediately — no restart required

The journal continues to log all events, including skipped windows caused by schedule restrictions. This means you can review exactly how many opportunities were skipped by your schedule and adjust accordingly.

Recommended Starting Point

If you are new to using schedule controls, start conservative:

  • Active days: Begin with all days enabled. After 2–4 weeks of data, check your journal for day-of-week PnL variance. Only then restrict days that are consistently negative.
  • Active hours: Start with a broad window (e.g. 08:00–22:00 UTC) and narrow from there once you have evidence of which hours perform best.

Over-restricting too early means you miss sample data that could inform better decisions later. Let the journal accumulate enough trades before optimising your schedule.

Bottom Line

The BTC 15-minute market adds a second liquid arena for your strategies without any extra setup. Active days and active hours give you the scheduling discipline that professional systematic traders take for granted.
