What is poly-maker?

The documented CLOB V2 engine reconciles quotes with live orders and changes behavior across quiet, trending, event, reduce-only and halted regimes. TOML stores configuration; SQLite and an event journal retain state for investigating quote decisions.

Use --paper for the live-feed pipeline without posting orders. Historical replay over journals is not implemented, and external polling, news and cross-venue inputs are not built in. A filled complementary pair differs from one-sided inventory. Neither live nor paper execution or safeguard effectiveness was tested for this profile.

Our take on poly-maker

Paper mode, inventory controls and documented limits make a substantial maker-bot reference. Missing replay and explicit live-action commands require supervised setup.
