Get free Polymarket whale alerts via Telegram. Polyscope detects large Polymarket trades in real time and sends Polymarket Telegram alerts with the market context you need to judge whether the move matters.
Big trades can reveal urgency, conviction, or information entering a market before broad sentiment fully catches up. On Polymarket, a single $20,000 buy can move a market several percentage points — especially in thinner markets where liquidity depth is limited.
The problem is that most traders have no way to see these trades in real time. By the time the move shows up in the price chart, the market has already absorbed part of it. Polymarket whale alerts from Polyscope compress that delay by detecting the trade the instant it executes and pushing the alert via Polymarket Telegram alerts in under 5 seconds.
Whether you follow whale trades, fade them, or just use them as context, knowing that large size entered a market gives you information the crowd does not have yet.
Polyscope connects directly to Polymarket's CLOB WebSocket feed and streams every last_trade_price event as it executes. There is no polling interval for whale trade detection — trades are processed the moment they hit the feed.
For each trade event, the scanner calculates the USD value by multiplying shares × price. If that value meets or exceeds a threshold, the alert fires immediately with full market context.
Tokens are subscribed in batches across all active markets via the Polymarket scanner, and the WebSocket connection auto-reconnects with exponential backoff if interrupted — so coverage does not drop even during network instability.

A single trade at or above $5,000 in USD value. These trades are meaningful size in most Polymarket markets and often represent deliberate positioning rather than casual bets.
A single trade at or above $10,000 in USD value. At this level, the trade is likely to move the market price — especially in markets with limited order book depth on the other side.
A single trade at or above $20,000 in USD value. These are the trades that often represent the strongest conviction or information edge. Polyscope's premium channel only sends alerts at this tier and above.
A bare trade notification is not useful. A trader needs context to decide whether the whale trade is actionable. Every Polyscope whale alert includes:
This context turns a raw trade notification into a decision surface. You can judge in seconds whether the trade is worth following, fading, or ignoring.
There is no single "correct" way to trade on whale activity. How you use the alert depends on your prediction market trading strategy. But there are common patterns:
Following the whale. If a $20K+ buy hits a market with a tight spread and deep order book, the whale may have conviction that the market is mispriced. Following means buying in the same direction and hoping the trade was informed.
Fading the whale. If a large trade pushes the price sharply in thin liquidity, there may be an overreaction. Fading means taking the other side, betting the price will revert once the liquidity imbalance normalizes.
Using whales as context. Not every whale alert is a trade signal. Sometimes the most valuable use is simply knowing that large size entered a market — adding that to your existing thesis alongside news, probability shifts, and volume trends.
The Polymarket trading course teaches a complete framework for interpreting whale activity, including how to read order book context, assess liquidity depth, and combine whale signals with other alert types.
Volatile markets can generate multiple large trades in quick succession. To prevent alert spam, Polyscope applies a 30-minute cooldown per market per alert type. If a whale alert fires on a market, no additional whale alerts will fire on that same market for 30 minutes.
However, other alert types — probability shifts, volume spikes, emerging markets — can still fire on the same market during that window. This means you get a complete picture when multiple signals converge without getting buried in repetitive whale pings.
Polyscope defines whale trades using three tiers: Large ($5,000+), Major ($10,000+), and Whale ($20,000+). These thresholds are based on the USD value of a single trade, calculated from shares multiplied by price.
