π€ Consensus Strategy
Consensus is a copy strategy that monitors a pool of top-ranked Polymarket traders and only places a trade when a configurable number of them all buy the same outcome of a market within the same time window.
Instead of following a single wallet, it waits for agreement across many.
How it works
- Olympus watches a pool of top-ranked wallets (configurable size, e.g. 75 or 150).
- When K or more wallets in that pool all buy the same outcome of a market within a rolling time window, Olympus treats that as a consensus signal and places the trade.
- The trade executes as a market or limit order, depending on your preset.
The three signal knobs are: pool size, threshold (K), and time window.
Presets
| Preset | Order type | Pool size | Threshold | Window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max ROI (recommended) | Market | 75 | 7 | 48 h |
| Best Limit | Limit | 150 | 15 | 24 h |
Max ROI is the recommended starting point. Market orders execute when 7 of the 75 top wallets agree within 48 hours. Backtesting shows this produces the strongest uncapped ROI.
Best Limit uses a higher agreement bar (15 of 150 wallets) and places patient limit orders at the best ask rather than sweeping the book. Fewer fills, but stronger measured PnL per trade.
Trade sizing
- Fixed amount β every triggered trade uses the same dollar amount.
- Percent of wallet β each trade uses a percentage of your current cash balance.
Take profit
Set a take profit % to automatically close the position once it reaches that gain. Leaving it blank only turns off the take-profit exit. Olympus still sells your whole position if at least half of the wallets that triggered the signal sell it early.
Backtesting
Before going live, run a backtest directly on the Consensus page. It replays the signal against historical data and shows simulated PnL for each triggered trade. Use it to compare presets or tune a custom configuration before committing real funds.
Backtesting is a simulation. It does not account for slippage, order book depth, or positions that were not yet closed at the end of the test window.
Getting started
- Go to Consensus in the top navigation.
- Pick a preset, or configure the knobs manually.
- Set your trade size and optional take profit.
- Click Save β the strategy goes live immediately.
Your wallet must have a pUSD balance for trades to execute.
