FAQ

Common questions about Predictr answered.


Getting Started

What is Predictr?

Predictr is a Telegram bot that lets you trade on Polymarketarrow-up-right prediction markets. You can browse markets, place trades, manage your wallet, and automatically copy trades from other traders — all from Telegram.

How do I start using Predictr?

  1. Tap Start — your wallet is created automatically

  2. Deposit USDC to your deposit address

  3. Start browsing markets or set up copy trading

Is Predictr free to use?

The bot is free to use. A small trading fee may be applied to executed orders, depending on the current fee configuration.


Wallet & Deposits

What kind of wallet does Predictr create?

Predictr creates a SAFE smart contract wallet on Polygon. It's non-custodial — you hold the private key, not us. You can export your private key at any time and import it into MetaMask or any EVM wallet.

Deposits are automatically bridged to USDC on Polygon via Polymarket's official Cross-Chain Bridge.

What is the minimum deposit?

The cross-chain bridge requires a $10 minimum. For copy trading, we recommend depositing at least $50 to ensure your trades can execute properly.

How long do deposits take?

Polygon deposits are near-instant. Cross-chain bridge deposits typically take 1-5 minutes depending on the source chain.

How do I withdraw?

Go to Wallet → Withdraw, enter the amount, enter a Polygon wallet address, and confirm. Withdrawals are processed via relayer and typically complete within a few minutes.


Trading

What is the minimum trade size?

The minimum trade amount is $1 USDC for market orders.

What does Fill-or-Kill (FOK) mean?

Fill-or-Kill means your order either fills completely at your specified price (within slippage tolerance) or is cancelled entirely. You won't get stuck with partial fills at bad prices.

What is slippage?

Slippage is the maximum price deviation you're willing to accept. If you buy at $0.50 with 10% slippage, the order can fill up to $0.55. If the market moves beyond that, the order is cancelled. You can configure slippage in Settings.

Can I use my wallet on Polymarket.com?

Yes. Export your private key from Settings → Export Private Key, import it into MetaMask, and connect to polymarket.comarrow-up-right. You'll see all your positions and can trade from the web interface.


Copy Trading

How does copy trading work?

You subscribe to a trader's wallet address. When they execute a trade on Polymarket, Predictr detects it on-chain via Polygon WebSocket and automatically mirrors the trade in your account, applying your configured filters and limits.

How fast are copy trades?

Trades are detected on-chain as soon as they're included in a Polygon block (typically within 2 seconds). Your copy order is submitted immediately after detection.

What happens if a copy trade is skipped?

Trades can be skipped for various reasons: price out of range, insufficient balance, spend limits exceeded, trade too small, etc. You can view all skipped trades with their reasons in the Activity section of each subscription.

Can I copy multiple traders at the same time?

Yes. You can create multiple subscriptions, each with their own parameters and spend limits. Each subscription operates independently.

What if I don't have enough balance for a copy trade?

The trade is skipped with the reason "insufficient_balance." Your other subscriptions continue working normally. Top up your balance and future trades will execute.

What happens when the bot restarts?

On first run after restart, the monitor seeds recent trades without executing them. This prevents a flood of historical trades from executing. Only new trades detected after startup are copied.

How do Take Profit and Stop Loss work?

TP/SL are set per-position when a copy trade BUY executes. The PriceMonitor watches real-time prices via Polymarket WebSocket. When the price crosses your target, it automatically sells 99% of your position (safety margin) via a market order.

Can I set TP/SL as a percentage?

Yes. Enter a percentage like 20% for take profit or 15% for stop loss. The percentage is resolved to an absolute price based on your entry price at execution time.


Referrals

How does the referral program work?

Whitelisted users can generate a referral link. When someone joins Predictr through your link and starts trading, you earn a share of their trading fees.

Tap Referrals from the main menu. Your link will be in the format t.me/predictr_trade_bot?start=ref_USERNAME. You need a Telegram username set for this to work.

What is the minimum referral withdrawal?

You need at least $25 in referral earnings to withdraw. Withdrawals go directly to your wallet address.

Can referred users also refer others?

No. Only whitelisted users can generate referral links. Users who joined via a referral link cannot refer others.


Security

Is my wallet safe?

Yes. Your wallet is a non-custodial SAFE smart contract. Private keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored encrypted in the database. Only you can access your funds.

What if Predictr goes offline?

Your funds are safe. Export your private key, import it into MetaMask, and access Polymarket.com directly. Your wallet and positions exist on-chain regardless of the bot's status.

Should I share my private key?

Never. Your private key gives full control over your wallet. Never share it with anyone, including people claiming to be from Predictr support.


Troubleshooting

I'm getting "400 no orders found" errors on copy trades

This usually means your slippage is too low. The market has moved beyond your slippage tolerance by the time your order reaches the orderbook. Increase buy slippage to 20-30% for normal conditions, or 30-50% for volatile markets.

My copy trades keep getting skipped

Check the skip reason in your subscription's Activity log. Common causes:

  • price_out_of_range — adjust Price Range Min/Max

  • insufficient_balance — deposit more USDC

  • total_spend_exceeded — increase or remove Total Spend Limit

  • below_min_per_trade — enable Buy at Min or lower Min Per Trade

  • max_markets_exceeded — increase Max Markets limit

I can't access the bot

Predictr is currently in closed beta. You need to be either whitelisted or invited via a referral link from a whitelisted user.
