- He started trading with just $16 and grew his starting capital to $64,334.
Is it possible to trade successfully relying solely on intuition? In conditions of high volatility, instantly changing odds, and geopolitical tensions, it’s crucial to react incredibly quickly, and algorithms are better at this than humans.
Recently, a trading bot operating under the account “woshfq19”, demonstrated his abilities in the forecast market polymarketIn a very short period of time, namely four days of operation, it brought its owner $64,334.
His strategy was focused on ultra-short-term contracts “up or down” trades tied to Bitcoin (BTC), each of which lasted only five minutes.
The most impressive trade took place on April 3 between 19:30 and 19:35 PM ET. The bot entered the trade at $0,01 and exited a few minutes later.

Instead of a simple directional bet, he accumulated 16,262 shares at prices close to zero, exploiting short-term price inefficiencies caused by liquidity imbalances. This allowed the contract to move sharply as the market normalized.
As a result, $16 turned into approximately $16,000 (a profit of approximately 9900%). Similar five-minute trades brought the total profit to $64,000.
As we can see, short-term binary options markets can produce extreme results when liquidity, time and price are the same.
By operating in prediction markets, automated AI-powered trading bots turn small bets into huge profits. For example, a bot using Anthropic’s Claude turned $1 to $3,3 million through high frequency arbitrage in sports markets, making over 37,000 trades and quickly exploiting price gaps.
Another bot, 0x8dxd, focused on short-term cryptocurrency contracts and converted $313 into $550,000 by exploiting the difference in latency between polymarket and exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase.
At the same time, most users are still losing money, relying not only on quick reactions and calculations, but also on luck.
