Market tracker template

Opinionated playbook for mirroring a Polymarket market into MonitorTower projects, monitors, and alerts.


Use this template to translate any Polymarket market into MonitorTower building blocks.

Project setup

Create a project named after the market (e.g., “Will GTA 6 release before 2025?”) and store the Polymarket URL in the description for quick reference.

Source suggestions

  • Rockstar/X accounts (@RockstarGames with the latest 5 posts)
  • Rockstar Newswire RSS feed
  • Gaming press RSS feeds (IGN, GameSpot)
  • Keyword RSS for “GTA 6 trailer”

You can add manual sources such as GitHub repos, price APIs, or ticket feeds—the schema allows any metadata JSON.

Rule stack

Define monitors with multiple evaluators:

  • r1: keyword match for release, launch, trailer coming from Rockstar sources.
  • r2: semantic similarity comparing new posts to launch-related copy.
  • r3: numeric expression for market odds (price > 0.65).

Set the monitor logic_expression to (r1 AND r2) OR r3 so only high-confidence events or sharp price moves trigger alerts.

Alerting

Attach Telegram and webhook destinations to a single alerting rule.

  • Use renotify_type = 'WHILE_ACTIVE' with a 30-minute cooldown.
  • Cap spam with rate_limit_max_alerts = 3 per 2-hour window.

History + trust

Each run stores:

  • monitor_evaluations — status, worker, and rule outcomes.
  • monitor_evaluation_sources — which snapshot fed the decision.
  • alerts — delivery timestamps and status.

Duplicate this template for any other market, swap the sources, and tweak the evaluators. The pipeline is always Source → Monitor → Evaluator → Alert.
