Market coverage

28+ live markets
Seven assets across four timeframes, each with independent price feeds, signals, and orderbook data.

Supported assets

PolyMeta supports seven crypto prediction markets on Polymarket:

BTC Bitcoin — the most liquid market with the tightest spreads and most signal data.
ETH Ethereum — strong correlation patterns with BTC, independent signal generation.
SOL Solana — higher volatility in short windows, more momentum-based setups.
XRP Ripple — smaller price moves that still matter at the 5-minute scale.
DOGE Dogecoin — sentiment-driven with wider spreads, suited to momentum strategies.
BNB BNB — moderate volatility with Binance exchange correlation advantage.
HYPE Hyperliquid — newer market with emerging trading patterns.

Timeframes

Each asset is available across four prediction market timeframes:

  • 5 minutes: The fastest window. Most signal data and strategy validation has been done here.
  • 15 minutes: Slightly wider windows with more time for setups to develop.
  • 1 hour: Longer-duration markets with different volatility characteristics.
  • 4 hours: The widest window. Fewer trades but larger potential moves.

This means 7 assets × 4 timeframes = 28+ distinct markets available on the dashboard at any time.

Data sources

PolyMeta combines three independent feeds for each market:

  • Polymarket orderbook: YES/NO token prices, spread, and depth. This is where trades actually execute.
  • Binance price feed: Real-time exchange prices for directional context and lead-lag detection.
  • Chainlink oracle: On-chain reference pricing used for market resolution and as a clean price anchor.
Why three sources matter A single feed can lag, spike, or be manipulated. By cross-referencing Polymarket, Binance, and Chainlink, the system can distinguish real directional moves from noise.

Blocked hours and restrictions

Not every hour trades equally. PolyMeta blocks hours that have historically lost money — currently hours 1, 2, 3, 8, 14, 15, 16, and 20 UTC by default. You can customize blocked hours from the strategy dashboard.

The system also restricts trading when spreads are too wide, signals are too weak, or volatility conditions are unfavorable.
