Live pipeline test — minimum-size real-money runbook

Goal: a few $5 trades through the full pipe (detect → filter → size → place → settle → redeem) with hard caps bounding worst-case loss to the deposit.

Caps in config.live.json (gitignored — holds your key, never commit): $5/trade · $25/day · $30 max exposure · 6 open positions · 2 per event · prices 0.05–0.95 · FAK marketable orders. Worst case ≈ the $30 exposure cap.

1. Fund a dedicated account (you)

• Use (or create) a Polymarket account you're comfortable putting a key on this machine for — deposit only the test money (~$50). The key controls only what's in the account; keep it that way.
• Deposit USDC to the account (the profile/deposit address = your funder).
• Send ~1 POL to the signing EOA for redeem gas (skip if you set live.auto_redeem: false and redeem manually in the UI).
• Export the private key: email-login accounts → Polymarket Settings → Export private key (signature_type: 1, already set). Browser-wallet accounts → your wallet's key, and set signature_type: 2.

2. Fill config.live.json (you)

"live": {
  "private_key":    "0x…",   // the exported key
  "funder_address": "0x…",   // your Polymarket profile/deposit address
  "signature_type": 1        // 1 = email login · 2 = browser wallet
}

3. Preflight (read-only, no orders)

python3 preflight_live.py

Green across the board = auth, USDC balance, market access, and redeem gas all verified. Fix anything red before arming.

4. Pause the paper worker (avoids the two bots fighting over the feed)

cd ~/polymarket-smart-money && railway down --service copybot --yes
# …or pause the service in the Railway dashboard

Note: the worker is the push-mode webhook receiver — while it's down, Alchemy gets delivery failures and retries; a long pause can auto-disable the webhook (re-enable it at dashboard.alchemy.com → Webhooks). Keep test sessions short or expect to flip it back on.

5. Arm (you type the phrase — that's the point of it)

python3 copybot.py --config config.live.json \
    --state copybot_state.live.json --poll 60 --live

It prints the caps, asks for the confirmation phrase, then baselines (no retro-copying) and waits for the next conviction trade from Kruto2027 / shisan888 / fortuneking / LSB1. Placements log to the console/Railway logs (per-trade Discord pings were retired 2026-07-04). Watch the first fill: order accepted → shares in the account (Polymarket UI) → on resolution, SETTLE line + auto-redeem tx hash.

6. Wind down

Ctrl-C the live bot, then redeploy the paper worker:

cd ~/polymarket-smart-money && railway up --service copybot --detach

Notes

• Venue: the bot trades the international CLOB (clob.polymarket.com). If your account lives on the US exchange, its API differs — confirm which venue your funds are on before the test.
• Neg-risk markets can't auto-redeem — the bot warns; redeem those in the UI.
• The live book/state is separate (copybot_state.live.json); the paper July test's state is untouched.
• First redeem.py run is untested against live — verify the first redemption tx on Polygonscan before trusting the loop.
