Ultimate No-Code Guide: Build Your Polymarket Weather Trading Clawbot & Scale $100 → $5,000+ (2026 Edition)

Weather arbitrage bots on Polymarket are one of the hottest trends right now—users are automating trades by spotting mismatches between real-time NOAA forecasts and Polymarket's weather market odds (temperature buckets, rain probability, etc.). These simple, high-frequency opportunities have turned small stacks into serious profits for many.

Real examples buzzing on X:

One address scaled $1,000 → $24,000 since April 2025 trading London weather markets . Another bot printed $65,000 in profits across NYC, London, and Seoul weather events .

The strategy is beginner-friendly: The bot pulls NOAA forecast data → compares probabilities to Polymarket bucket prices → buys "Yes/No" shares when the forecast shows a strong edge (e.g., 70%+ chance vs. 40% market implied) → sells when odds converge or hit profit targets. Using OpenClaw (local AI agent) + Simmer SDK (@TheSpartanLabs), you can deploy this as a fully autonomous "Clawbot" with zero coding.

This updated guide is clearer, more professional, includes safety tips, and covers everything you need in 2026.

Critical Warning: Prediction markets involve substantial risk of loss—markets can move against you, liquidity can dry up, or forecasts can be wrong. This is not financial advice. Start small, test thoroughly, and only use money you can afford to lose entirely. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

5-Step Setup to Launch Your Weather Clawbot

Step 1: Install OpenClaw (Local AI Agent) OpenClaw runs on your machine (Mac, Linux, Windows) and executes tasks autonomously.

Open Terminal (Mac/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows).

Install with one command:

Mac/Linux

text

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

textiwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex

After install, run:

text

openclaw onboard

Step 2: Onboard & Connect AI + Telegram

• Accept risks → "Yes"

• Mode: Quick Start

• Provider: OpenAI (requires ChatGPT Plus subscription)

• Auth: OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT Auth) → log in via browser redirect

• Select model: openai-codex/gpt-5.2 (or latest available)

• Channel: Telegram (Bot API) for mobile-friendly control

Step 3: Create & Pair Your Telegram Bot

• In Telegram, message @BotFather → /newbot

• Set name & username (e.g., @WeatherClawBot)

• Copy the bot token

In terminal:

• Paste token

• Skills: YES

• Node manager: npm

• Dependencies: Skip for now

• Skip other APIs → Start Gateway

After Gateway starts:

• In terminal → Hatch (TUI) → interact via CLI

• In your new Telegram bot → send /start → get pairing code

• Terminal: openclaw pairing approve telegram

Now control your Clawbot directly in Telegram!

Step 4: Set Up Simmer SDK Agent & Fund It

Simmer (@TheSpartanLabs) lets AI agents trade on Polymarket with pre-built skills (weather trader, arbitrage, etc.).

• Go to simmer.markets

• Connect EVM wallet (MetaMask, etc. — Polygon network)

• Create account → access "agent wallet" (top-right)

• Deposit: USDC.e or POL on Polygon (start with $100–$200 for testing)

Your agent now has trading capital.

Step 5: Install Weather Skill & Configure Trading

On Simmer agent page → Overview → Manual install → copy message

(e.g., "Read https://simmer.markets/skill.md ...") Send to Clawbot in Telegram → follow link to claim agent (approve tx) Skills tab → select Weather Trader → copy command (usually clawhub install simmer-weather) Send to Clawbot

Bot is ready! Activate with this optimized config (copy-paste into Telegram chat):

textEntry threshold: 15% (buy when forecast edge ≥15%) Exit threshold: 45% (sell when edge ≥45% or profit target hit) Max position size: $2.00–$5.00 per trade (scale slowly) Locations: NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, London (add more as you test) Max trades per run: 5 Safeguards: Enabled (stop-loss, daily limits) Trend detection: Enabled (avoid fading strong weather patterns) Scan frequency: every 2 minutes Risk mode: Conservative (for $100 start)

Send → bot starts scanning NOAA vs. Polymarket → auto-trades undervalued buckets.

Pro Tips for $100 → $5,000 Challenge

• Start tiny: $1–$2 positions first week. Log every trade in Telegram.

• Monitor closely: Watch for NOAA updates (especially 6–12 hr forecasts) and Polymarket liquidity.

• Optimize over time: Test tighter thresholds (10% entry) or more cities once profitable.

• Diversify: Add precipitation or wind markets if available.

• Withdraw profits regularly: Move gains to a safe wallet to protect capital.

• Backup: Keep OpenClaw running 24/7 (use VPS if laptop sleeps).
