Ballista is a trading client for Polymarket. It gives you limit orders, copy trading, backtesting and price alerts on top of the markets Polymarket already runs — from a Telegram chat, a web terminal, or a Chrome extension that sits on the Polymarket site itself. Ballista is not an exchange and does not hold a market of its own. Every order you place is signed and sent to Polymarket’s central limit order book. The markets, the prices, the liquidity and the resolution of every question are Polymarket’s.

​
One account, three surfaces

You register once, in the Telegram bot. That one registration creates your wallet and your Polymarket account, and the terminal and the extension sign in to the same account with the Telegram login widget. There is one balance and one set of positions behind all three — deposit in the bot, trade in the terminal, close in the extension.

Telegram bot

Where you register, deposit, and build full copy-trade configurations.

Web terminal

Markets, portfolio, the leaderboard and the backtester on a full screen.

Chrome extension

Trade and set price alerts without leaving polymarket.com.

​
Which surface does what

Feature coverage is not the same everywhere, and it is worth knowing before you go looking for something.
The Telegram bot is buy-only. It has no sell action anywhere — not on the positions screen, not in a market. To close a position, or to cancel an order you placed from the bot, use the terminal or the extension.
The Telegram copy-trade form exposes every setting the engine supports; the terminal’s is a short form for the common case. See Copy-trade settings for what each control does.

Create your account

One /start in the bot provisions everything.
