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 (
@RockstarGameswith 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 forrelease,launch,trailercoming 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 = 3per 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.
