Polymarket Trade Collector
Cloud-based real-time data pipeline capturing prediction market microstructure from Polymarket via WebSocket. The system collects full order book depth and trade streams, currently amassing 650K+ rows and 13K+ trades with automated cloud-to-local replication and daily archival. Built to study market microstructure dynamics in prediction markets, with early analysis revealing potential alpha signals in tail-size trades and asymmetric Yes/No position dynamics.
Key features include real-time WebSocket connection to Polymarket API, SQLite storage with automated syncing, structured data capture of bids/asks/trades, and cloud infrastructure for 24/7 collection with local backup. Future work includes statistical analysis of order flow patterns, visualization dashboards, and potential strategy development.
