THE
FASTEST
The difference between winning and losing a copy trade is measured in milliseconds. Here's exactly how we achieve HFT-grade speed.
Total Latency
Detection
WHY OTHER COPY TRADERS LOSE
API Polling = Always Behind
Most copy trading platforms use API polling to detect trades. They repeatedly ask Polymarket: "Did anything happen?" This creates a fundamental delay.
- Poll Interval Delay
Checking every 100-500ms means you're always that far behind
- Network Round-Trip
Each poll adds 20-50ms network latency
- API Processing
API servers batch and queue responses
MEMPOOL MONITORING
We detect trades BEFORE they're confirmed on the blockchain. By monitoring the Polygon mempool, we see pending transactions as soon as they're broadcast.
Catch Trades at the Source
The mempool is where transactions wait before being included in a block. By watching it directly, we skip the entire confirmation and indexing delay.
- Pre-Confirmation Detection
See trades before they hit the blockchain
- Direct Calldata Decoding
Extract order details from raw transaction data
- No API Dependency
Direct blockchain connection, no middleman
SIGNAL TO EXECUTION
Every millisecond counts. Here's our optimized pipeline.
MEMPOOL DETECTION
Our WebSocket connection to Polygon nodes catches pending transactions targeting the tracked trader's address. Transactions are filtered by contract interaction with Polymarket's Fee Module.
CALLDATA DECODING
Raw transaction calldata is decoded to extract the embedded order: token_id, side (BUY/SELL), size, and price. Optimized parsing achieves faster decoding than standard JSON.
RISK CHECK
Position limits, available balance, and slippage tolerance are validated against your configuration. Lock-free data structures ensure zero contention.
ORDER PLACEMENT
Pre-authenticated API credentials eliminate handshake delay. Order is sent directly to Polymarket CLOB with slippage-adjusted pricing.
FILL TRACKING
WebSocket connection monitors for fill confirmation. Position state is updated atomically to prevent duplicate orders.
From mempool detection to order placed (end-to-end)
HFT-GRADE OPTIMIZATIONS
The same techniques used by institutional high-frequency traders, now powering your copy trades.
Critical threads are pinned to dedicated CPU cores, eliminating context switch overhead and ensuring consistent latency.
Direct CPU timestamp counter reads provide sub-nanosecond precision timing with minimal overhead.
Crossbeam lock-free channels pass signals between threads without blocking or mutex overhead.
Data structures are aligned to CPU cache lines, preventing false sharing between cores.
AVX2/SSE4 vectorized JSON parsing achieves 2-3x throughput compared to traditional parsers. Critical for processing high-volume WebSocket feeds.
Price and quantity fields are extracted via direct string scanning without full JSON deserialization. 5x faster for hot-path data.
API authentication is pre-computed and cached, saving 50-100ms per order that would otherwise be spent on handshakes.
DETECTION METHODS
Not all trade detection is created equal. Here's the difference.
Direct subscription to Polygon mempool. Detects trades before blockchain confirmation. Total end-to-end under 500ms.
- Pre-confirmation detection
- Direct blockchain access
- Zero API dependency
- Real-time transaction stream
Periodically requests trade data from Polymarket API. Always behind real-time.
- Pre-confirmation detection
- Direct blockchain access
- Zero API dependency
- Real-time transaction stream
Subscribes to Polymarket WebSocket for trade updates. Faster than polling, still post-confirmation.
- Pre-confirmation detection
- Direct blockchain access
- Zero API dependency
- Real-time transaction stream

Markets move fast. When a whale buys, the price starts climbing immediately. Every 100ms delay can mean:
- 100ms delay0.1-0.3% worse price
- 500ms delay0.5-1.5% worse price
- 1000ms delay1-3% worse price
Polymarket uses a first-come-first-served order book. Your position in the queue determines if you get filled at your price.
- Front of queueHigh fill probability
- Middle of queuePartial fills likely
- Back of queueOften unfilled
