Resolution & risk

How positions close, and how a win gets counted

Every position rides all the way to the 5-minute window's resolution. As the round closes, the token settles at $1.00 on a win or $0.00 on a loss, and that is the sole exit available. These markets carry no mid-round stop-loss sell, so the bot has no way to bail out early; the stop-loss control governs averaging down and nothing else.

Every profit and loss figure on screen is pulled directly from your Polymarket account by way of their data API, and never inferred from the bot's own logs.

Every strategy carries ceilings: a limit on concurrent positions, a limit on trade size, hours you can switch off entirely, and a daily stop so one rough session cannot cascade. Trades execute through your own Polymarket wallet, which keeps your funds under your control.

5MTBot is an independent tool with no affiliation to Polymarket. Prediction markets carry real risk. None of this is financial advice.
