 ## Features
 
-### Copy Trade Bot (`npm start`)
+### Copy Trade Bot
 - **Watch Trader** — Monitor any Polymarket wallet address in real time via WebSocket
 - **Copy Buy** — Automatically mirror buy orders with configurable position sizing
 - **Copy Sell** — Automatically mirror sell orders (market or limit)
 - **Auto Sell** — Place a GTC limit sell at a target profit % immediately after a buy fills
 - **Auto Redeem** — Periodically check and redeem winning positions on-chain
-- **Deduplication** — Each market is entered at most once; no double buys
-- **Balance Guard** — Checks USDC.e balance before every order
+- **Market Expiry Guard** — Skip buys if market closes within `MIN_MARKET_TIME_LEFT` seconds
+- **GTC Fallback** — Falls back to a GTC limit order when copying "next market" trades with no liquidity
+- **Per-Market Queue** — Concurrent events for the same market are serialized to prevent duplicate buys
 - **Dry Run Mode** — Simulate the full flow without placing real orders
 
-### Market Maker Bot (`npm run mm`)
+### Market Maker Bot
 - **Automated Liquidity** — Splits USDC into YES+NO tokens and places limit sells on both sides at $0.50 entry
 - **Cut-Loss Protection** — Merges unsold tokens back to USDC before market close
 - **Recovery Buy** — Optional directional bet after a cut-loss triggers
 - **Multi-Asset** — Supports BTC, ETH, SOL, and any 5m/15m Polymarket market
-- **Simulation Mode** — Full dry-run with P&L tracking (`npm run mm-sim`)
+- **Simulation Mode** — Full dry-run with P&L tracking
 
-### Orderbook Sniper Bot (`npm run sniper`)
+### Orderbook Sniper Bot
 - **Low-Price Orders** — Places tiny GTC BUY orders at a configurable price (e.g. $0.01) on both sides
 - **Multi-Asset** — Targets ETH, SOL, XRP, and more simultaneously
-- **Simulation Mode** — Preview orders without spending funds (`npm run sniper-sim`)

 ## Usage
 
+### Terminal UI (local)
+
+Runs with an interactive split-panel dashboard (blessed TUI).
+
 ```bash
-# ── Copy Trade Bot ─────────────────────────────────
-npm start           # Production mode
-npm run dev         # Development mode (auto-reload on file changes)
+# Copy Trade Bot
+npm start           # live trading
+npm run dev         # live + auto-reload on file changes
 
-# ── Market Maker Bot ───────────────────────────────

-npm run mm-sim      # Simulation mode (DRY_RUN=true)
-npm run mm-dev      # Simulation + auto-reload

+npm run mm          # live trading

-npm run sniper-dev  # Simulation + auto-reload
+# Orderbook Sniper Bot

+npm run sniper-sim  # simulation
+npm run sniper-dev  # simulation + auto-reload
 ```
 
-> **Always test with `DRY_RUN=true` first** before committing real funds.
+### Plain Log Mode (no TUI)
+
+Writes plain timestamped text to stdout — suitable for piping, `tail -f`, or PM2.
+
+```bash
+# Copy Trade Bot
+npm run bot         # live trading
+npm run bot-sim     # simulation
+npm run bot-dev     # simulation + auto-reload
+
+# Market Maker Bot
+npm run mm-bot      # live trading
+npm run mm-bot-sim  # simulation
+npm run mm-bot-dev  # simulation + auto-reload
+```
+
+> **Always test with `DRY_RUN=true` (or `*-sim` scripts) first** before committing real funds.
+
+---
+
+## Running on VPS with PM2
+
+Each bot has its own PM2 config file inside the `pm2/` folder.
+
+### Install PM2
+
+```bash
+npm install -g pm2
+```
+
+### Copy Trade Bot
+
+```bash
+# Live trading
+pm2 start pm2/copy.config.cjs
+
+# Simulation
+pm2 start pm2/copy.config.cjs --env sim
+
+# View logs
+pm2 logs polymarket-copy
+tail -f logs/copy-out.log
+
+# Management
+pm2 restart polymarket-copy
+pm2 stop polymarket-copy
+pm2 delete polymarket-copy
+```
+
+### Market Maker Bot
+
+```bash
+# Live trading
+pm2 start pm2/mm.config.cjs
+
+# Simulation
+pm2 start pm2/mm.config.cjs --env sim

+# View logs

+tail -f logs/mm-out.log
+
+# Management
+pm2 restart polymarket-mm
+pm2 stop polymarket-mm
+pm2 delete polymarket-mm

+
+### Auto-start on reboot
+

+pm2 save           # saves current process list
+```

 ## Important Warnings
 
 - **Never commit your `.env` file.** Your private key must remain secret. The `.gitignore` already excludes it.
-- **Always start with `DRY_RUN=true`** to verify the bot behaves as expected before using real funds.
+- **Always start with `DRY_RUN=true`** (or a `*-sim` script) to verify the bot behaves as expected before using real funds.
 - **Use a small `SIZE_PERCENT`** for initial live runs to limit exposure.
 - **Keep MATIC in your EOA wallet** for gas fees (redeem operations and on-chain CTF calls).
 - **This software is provided as-is, with no guarantees.** Prediction market trading carries significant financial risk. You are solely responsible for any losses.
