case-study
Polyphemus
Trading System Case Study
Built the trading system and documented the architecture, development workflow, and operating constraints in public.
Project Overview
Polyphemus is a Python trading system for Polymarket with signal detection, execution logic, risk controls, and operational tooling. This portfolio entry is published as a documented case study backed by the local codebase and first-party writing, not as a public live demo.
Challenge
Build a trading system that is explainable and well-instrumented enough to document honestly, without implying public access to a live production bot.
Key Features
Signal Detection
Consumes market data feeds and turns them into explicit trading signals.
Execution + Risk Controls
Combines execution logic, position management, and operational safeguards.
Operational Tooling
Includes dashboards, watchdogs, and supporting production operations code.
Lessons Learned
- school Operational rigor matters as much as model logic in trading systems.
- school Case-study-first framing is more truthful here than implying a public live product.
