Paper Trading (Live Proxy)
Paper Trading allows you to forward-test your strategies against Live Polymarket data without using real funds.
How it Works
- Market Data: The backend proxies requests to the real Polymarket CLOB API.
- Execution: Orders are intercepted by the Shadow Exchange and matched simulated-ly. They are NOT sent to the Polymarket Exchange.
Usage
python
from fivesight_clob_client.client import ClobClient
client = ClobClient(
host="https://api.fivesight.ai/api/simulation",
key="dummy",
chain_id=137,
simulation_mode=True
)
# Create PAPER session
client.create_simulation_session(mode="PAPER", initial_balance=10000)
# All standard method calls work as expected, but return LIVE data
book = client.get_order_book(token_id="...")
# Start trading
client.create_and_post_order(...)
