Money
The $1 figure is the bot’s own floor, not a number the other surfaces check.
Below roughly a dollar an order rounds down to zero size at the exchange and is
rejected there, so the bot stops you before the round trip rather than after it.
The terminal and the extension are looser. They refuse an order worth less than
a cent, and a buy whose dollar amount cannot reach 0.01 shares at your limit
price, and leave anything above that to Polymarket. Whichever surface you are on,
the fix for a rejection is to increase the size.
Prices
Exactly 0 and exactly 1 are never valid. A market at those prices has resolved.
Presets
Six market buys, six market sells, six limit buys, six limit sells. Creating a
seventh in a full slot is refused; delete one first. See
Presets.
Backtests
The two-run cap is not a rate limit you should retry into — the only thing that
clears it is one of your own runs finishing. The 180-day ceiling is a cost bound:
window width drives how much trade history has to be pulled, which is the
expensive part of a run. See Backtesting.
Copy trades
Every spend cap — per trade, per market, per side, total — is optional and must
be greater than zero when set. Leaving one unset means it does not apply, not
that it is zero. See Copy-trade settings.
