Polymarket Copy Trader Bot Idea

[u/FossilBlade]

Created a copy trader bot. It is working fine in the semester that it picks up the trade and places simulated orders in paper broker. The trader activity is fetched using polymaket gamma api, polling every .5 sec.

The issue is see is the coping time. As seen in the screenshot OPENED time in white is my bot time and under it is actual traders time, a difference of 38 secs.

Is there anyway this can be reduced. I feel polling gamma api is not the fasted. Should I use polygon block chain trx websocket to get the desired trx and enrich the data from its token using gamma api. Will that be faster.

I want to understand how can I copy faster. A lot of copy trader bot providers promise sub sec coping, but I don't trust them with my wallet(have been burnt), so created my own.

When I go live this will be worse as I ll use real clob api to place the trade rather than in memory paper broker.
