Editor's Note: Recently, with the popularity of ClawdBot, the boundaries of AI as a tool are becoming increasingly blurred. When it no longer merely offers suggestions, but can independently execute strategies, manage risks, continuously review and improve, and genuinely generate profits for you, the division of labor between humans and machines must be reevaluated. Automation may no longer be just an efficiency tool—it is becoming a new form of competitive advantage.
This article comes from a real test by crypto trader @xmayeth. He created a Polymarket account, deposited $100, and provided the API key to ClawdBot. After one night, ClawdBot earned $247 by trading the 15-minute Bitcoin up-or-down market. Below is the detailed test:
Late last night, while browsing X, I stumbled upon a tweet about ClawdBot, which quickly went viral on the timeline.
Someone has connected ClawdBot to the Hyperliquid platform and made a deposit. Now, it can trade cryptocurrencies 24/7, scans Twitter sentiment, reacts to political tweets, and continuously optimizes itself.
After I finished reading, I couldn't fall asleep at all. Around 2 a.m., a sudden thought popped into my head: "What if I try using Polymarket?"
So I read a lot of guides on setting up ClawdBot on X, and successfully got it running locally on my computer within about 30 minutes.
To be honest, I didn't dare imagine it would be this simple. Then, I immediately created a Polymarket account, deposited $100, and gave my API key to ClawdBot.
Then I entered the following instructions:
· You have control over a $100 wallet on Polymarket
· Your goal: Trade the Bitcoin up and down market in 15 minutes and maximize profits within the next 24 hours.
· Trading strategies should be conservative and cautious, with strict risk management. Every effort should be made to protect the principal as much as possible.
· Suppose this is your last $100, treat your trades as you would your life.
After finishing these things, I closed my laptop and went to sleep. It was around five in the morning. To be honest, I didn't really expect anything big to happen.
But when I opened Polymarket, I saw a balance of $347. This means ClawdBot made $247 in one night, trading the Bitcoin market for just 15 minutes.
I stared at the screen for an hour.Realizing that this machine could outperform 99% of traders in just one night.
So I began to analyze everything it had done that night:
· Extracted more than 50 Bitcoin price charts of 15-minute intervals and identified momentum patterns
· Scanned real-time X sentiment and news feed
· Use simple technical analysis (RSI, short-term moving averages derived from data)
· Placed a series of high-probability bets during volatile trading sessions in the Asian/European markets.
· Leverage the power of compounding: Use small profits to expand into larger position sizes.
Each transaction has a complete record and justification, and it's even better that ClawdBot conducted self-reflection and summarized which methods were effective.
Once again, it's emphasized: ClawdBot earned 2.5 times its initial funding in just one night.
In 2026, mastering automation skills will become a core competency. There are now many articles on X about setting up ClawdBot. Start learning and building your own ClawdBot right away.
