Polymarket whale trades in real time
Whale Alerts is a Telegram bot that tracks large Polymarket trades in real time
Plugged into Polymarket's live WebSocket feed, the bot sends alerts with a one tap bet button and signs through the official API without a confirmation popup.
What the bot does
Whale Alerts is a Telegram bot for Polymarket that catches large whale trades as they happen and lets a user enter the market in one tap. The README describes it as built by an enthusiast for enthusiasts, and the pitch is removing two friction points: manually watching the market while price moves, and clicking through a confirmation flow that on Polymarket itself can lag, glitch or fail to appear. The bot is subscribed to Polymarket's live WebSocket feeds for activity and orders matched, plus live prices and sports scores, and it reacts within seconds. Each trade is checked against every active user's filters for a minimum amount and a probability range, and matching users get an alert with a bet button that signs in a single tap. The wallet lives inside the bot, so a bet signs the moment the user taps, with no confirmation popup to wait on.
Features beyond alerts
The feature list is broad. Personal whale alerts let a user set a minimum dollar amount and a probability range and start or stop with one button. Deposits and withdrawals go through the official Polymarket API with no extra proxy step, and because the wallet is the user's real Polymarket account, balance is the same whether topped up on the website or in the bot. Private keys and seed phrases are encrypted and stored on the server tied to the account, locked behind a personal PIN. Copy trading mirrors a specific trader with a budget, fixed amount or multiplier. A live sports section streams score and status updates for tennis and football with clearly labeled spread and handicap lines. Market search finds any event by name, a built in wallet bets from chat, and trade history records outcome, entry price and profit and loss. The interface supports ten languages, and trades over one hundred thousand dollars are also posted to a public Telegram channel.
Availability and how it works
The README states the bot is free to use until October 10, 2026, and it points to an open bot and an alerts channel on Telegram. The how it works section lays out the flow: subscribe to the live WebSocket feeds, check each trade against active filters, send an alert with a bet button, and if copy trading is enabled, open a position mirroring the followed trader. A demo file in the repository shows a standalone WebSocket connection with a heartbeat that keeps a zombie connection alive, and the README is explicit that this demo illustrates the connection technique only and does not contain the bot's business logic, filters or Telegram integration. Terms covering how to connect a wallet and security are presented inside the bot through a pinned menu button after the start command. The repository carries 157 stars and 59 forks with one open issue, the default branch is main, and the license is MIT.
Editorial conclusion
Whale Alerts is an MIT licensed Telegram bot on the main branch with 157 stars that streams Polymarket's live trade feed, offers one tap signing and copy trading, and is free to use until October 10, 2026.
