Polymarket Twin Engine

Deterministic trading infrastructure for prediction markets

Deterministic execution · Backtesting engine · Live trading infrastructure · Event-driven architecture

Placeholder preview for Polymarket Twin Engine - Automated Trading & Deterministic Backtesting Engine

I design & built a deterministic trading and backtesting platform where live trading and backtests run the exact same strategy and execution logic, ensuring directly comparable and reliable results.

It includes full infrastructure: real-time data ingestion, order book reconstruction, execution engine, order management, portfolio accounting, and research tooling for strategy development.

Impact

99.6% parity between backtests and live trading: using identical execution logic
Processes 200M+ market events/day through a real-time pipeline (P95 sub-100ms)
Order-to-book latency p95 ~90ms: submit → exchange acknowledgment → order book.

My Role

Architected the execution pipeline and deterministic replay model
Built ingestion + storage + replay engine (raw events → storage → reconstruction)
Implemented order management, risk limits, and portfolio/PnL accounting

Engineering highlights

Tick-by-tick replay with full market state reconstruction
Unified execution engine for live trading and backtesting
Parallel backtesting at scale: runs many independent simulations concurrently on shared datasets
High-throughput data egress: streams and persists multi-GB/day market data

Core technologies

TypeScript Node.js Python Parquet Postgres WebSocket Redis React Drizzle Zod Ethers/Viem
