Summary
Sharbel A. walks through building a self-improving copy trading bot for Polymarket using Hermes Agent. Unlike naive systems that blindly mirror profitable wallets, the bot first evaluates which wallets are worth following — scanning the top 500 Polymarket accounts and scoring each across three dimensions: ROI, consistency, and copyability. It also builds per-wallet category profiles (politics, crypto, sports, macro) so it never treats a wallet as universally smart when it only has edge in one market type.
Once candidate wallets are identified, every new trade signal gets scored before any action is taken: who made the trade, how far the market has moved since their entry, available liquidity, and time to resolution. The bot’s decision labels are Copy, Watchlist, or Skip — and every decision is logged to a structured journal with full reasoning, not just the outcome.
The self-improvement mechanism is the central innovation. After paper trading, Hermes Agent reviews its own decision journal and automatically tightens or loosens thresholds — such as maximum price slippage since entry or minimum liquidity cutoffs — based on which calls proved correct. Rule versions are tracked with evidence so the operator can audit every change. The tutorial concludes with a nine-part build sequence and a full system prompt viewers can use to construct the entire system themselves.
