Playground Strategy Builder
The Playground is Polyblock's most powerful automation tool. It lets you build complex trading strategies by chatting with an AI assistant — no coding required.
How It Works
- 1Describe your strategy
Tell the AI what you want in plain English. Example: "Buy BTC YES when RSI drops below 30 and sell when it crosses above 70."
- 2AI builds the configuration
The assistant translates your description into a structured strategy with entry/exit rules, indicators, and risk parameters.
- 3Review and customise
Fine-tune every parameter — entry price, position size, indicators, timeframes, and more.
- 4Deploy
Activate your strategy and it starts trading automatically. Monitor performance in real-time.
Technical Indicators
Playground strategies can use a range of technical indicators to make trading decisions:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Identify overbought and oversold conditions. Classic mean-reversion signal for prediction markets.
MACD
Moving Average Convergence Divergence for trend-following strategies and momentum detection.
Bollinger Bands
Volatility-based bands for identifying breakouts and mean-reversion opportunities.
Moving Averages
Simple and exponential moving averages for trend identification and crossover strategies.
You can combine multiple indicators in a single strategy. For example: "Buy when RSI is below 30 AND price is below the lower Bollinger Band."
Strategy Marketplace
The Playground includes a marketplace where traders can publish their strategies for others to subscribe to:
- Browse proven strategies — See performance metrics, subscriber counts, and trade history for every public strategy.
- One-click subscribe — Subscribe to any strategy and it automatically trades on your behalf using your funds.
- Earn as a creator — Publish your strategy and earn a fee every time a subscriber's trade executes.
- No capital required to earn — Strategy creators earn from subscriber fees — you don't need to trade your own money.
Backtesting
Before deploying real money, you can backtest your strategies against historical market data to see how they would have performed:
- Historical data — Backtest against real Polymarket price data stored in TimescaleDB.
- Performance metrics — See win rate, total PnL, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and more.
- Iterate quickly — Adjust parameters and re-run backtests instantly to optimise your strategy.
