Hey, I've thought about arbitrage on Poly, but I haven't delved deeply into the BTC prediction part... Feels like gas fees eat up the profits. That's a good question. Indeed, I find those mouthy analysts annoying, throwing out theories left and right. Have you actually stepped on any mines? Like slippage killers? I'd love to hear how you tune the parameters. Honestly, how's the liquidity on Poly? Worried about insufficient trading depth.

I've taken quite a few detours, and those low-liquidity trading pairs on Poly have become so frustrating that it's not even fun anymore. Speaking of which, the biggest fear when writing my own system is over-optimization; doing data fitting too well can lead to poor results once launched. There is indeed arbitrage potential on Polygon, but you need to find the overlooked corners; the obvious opportunities have already been exploited. Deep discussions like this are hard to find. Most people either boast or keep things to themselves. I really want to hear your actual experiences of getting burned and how you recovered. Currently, I'm testing a set of parameter self-adaptive methods. The results are okay, but I haven't gone all-in yet. What do you think? Have you ever had a bad experience on Poly and managed to recover? Strategy backtesting is one thing, but running with real money is another. I believe you guys understand this. Having a clear understanding of the underlying logic is the most important. Fancy models can often lead to self-deception.

honestly, been running some arb bots on polygon for a minute now—gas optimization is legit the game here, not the strategy itself. the real question is whether you're actually backtesting against realistic slippage or just living in a fantasy spreadsheet tbh.

Arbitrage on Poly has been saturated for a long time, bro. Most of those still researching are basically just running in place.

I've tinkered with Poly, mainly in liquidity mining. I haven't really done a systematic study on BTC prediction. I'd love to hear how you guys are approaching it, after all, just chasing the market is too exhausting.

Damn, finally someone asked about this. I've had countless pitfalls on Poly. The liquidity on Poly is a death trap, and the BTC prediction itself isn't a problem, just worried about slippage. The biggest risk when writing your own system isn't strategy failure, but gas fees that can eat up all your profits if you're not careful. Can anyone share how to do low-frequency trading profitably on Poly? Honestly, compared to those hyped-up claims, I really want to hear how much everyone has actually lost. I've been tuning my parameters for over a year, and it's still half-dead, it's frustrating. Has anyone used composite strategies? Feels like single arbitrage can't be played on Poly anymore. But to be honest, making money on this chain requires effort. Lazy people really can't do it.

Had some fun on Poly, but honestly, the returns aren't as good as I imagined.

I've tried, but honestly, there are too many liquidity pits on Polygon. The arbitrage opportunities sound great, but the execution costs are enough to drink a whole pot.

Bro, I've also been navigating Poly, playing around with BTC arbitrage before, but now mainly focusing on MEV. Indeed, you have to go through the pitfalls yourself.

I've tried it. The low gas fees on Poly are an advantage, but the trading pair depth is really a major flaw, so I bailed. Arbitrage on Polygon sounds sexy, but it took a lot of pitfalls to understand. I've written my own strategies, ran them for two weeks, and got liquidated. I'm still reviewing. Honestly, the liquidity of the Poly ecosystem BTC is just so-so; the arbitrage opportunities aren't as big as imagined. Do you have any real, practical experience to share? Don't just talk about theory.
