# Pulse Overview

**A live three-lane feed — new markets on the left, active markets in the middle, closing markets on the right.**

Pulse is the running heartbeat of Predictions. Three side-by-side lanes show markets at each stage of their life cycle: **New Prediction** (just opened), **Active Prediction** (live and trading), **Closing Soon** (minutes from resolution). New rows slide in at the top of each lane; old ones fall off as they age out.

Use Pulse when you want to watch the market without scrolling a table — it surfaces what is moving, not what exists.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Watch a lane, not a row**

Pick one lane and let it scroll. New for early entry, Active for confirmed flow, Closing for short-window catch-ups before resolution.
{% endhint %}

## The three lanes

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-cover data-type="image">Cover image</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>New Prediction</strong></td><td>Markets that just opened — seconds to a few minutes old.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Active Prediction</strong></td><td>Markets with live order-book activity — most volume sits here.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Closing Soon</strong></td><td>Markets minutes from settlement — last call for entry.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

## ANATOMY OF A LANE

Each lane shows the same per-row layout:

* **Market name** with category badge.
* **Window** — short-window ("5M") or long-window ("1d", "24h").
* **Implied odds** — current Yes/No or Up/Down split (e.g. "51% / 49%").
* **Volume** — total traded so far on this market.
* **Direction buttons** — `Up / Down` or `Yes / No` at your Quick Buy preset.

Each lane has its own filter pill at the top so you can constrain that lane independently — e.g. New filtered to `Crypto`, Closing filtered to `Elections`.

## READING ACROSS LANES

The same market can pass through all three lanes over its lifetime:

1. **New Prediction** — just spawned. Volume is $0 or near it. Spread is wide. Implied probability is whatever the first orders set.
2. **Active Prediction** — orders are filling. Volume grows. Implied probability stabilises toward consensus.
3. **Closing Soon** — last few minutes. Spreads tighten or widen depending on demand. Late entries are riskier — see [Execution Risks](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/execution-risks.md).

Watching a single market move across lanes tells you whether the market is gaining traction or fading.

## FROM PULSE INTO TRADING

A click on any Pulse row opens the [market page](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/market-page.md). The Up/Down quick-buy on the Pulse row uses the same defaults as Research — your Speed preset and amount preset apply everywhere.

See [From Signal to Trade](/graphdex-docs/pulse-predictions/from-signal-to-trade.md) for the recommended workflow.

Pulse is for discovery — it shows you markets, not advice. Treat the lanes as a live filter; the trade decision still belongs to you.

## FAQs

<details>

<summary>How often does Pulse update?</summary>

Live. Rows slide in and out as markets are created, traded, and approach closing.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why do I see the same market in two lanes?</summary>

A market can briefly straddle a lane boundary — for example, just opened (still in New) but already trading (Active). The lanes use timing rules, not exclusivity.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I act on a Pulse row without opening the market page?</summary>

Yes — Up/Down buttons on each Pulse row execute at your defaults. To check the chart, order book, or outcomes before trading, click the row to open the market page.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Are Pulse and Research filtered together?</summary>

Category pills are shared — picking Politics on Research keeps Politics on Pulse. Per-lane filters within Pulse are local to that lane.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What's the difference between Pulse and Trends?</summary>

Trends is sorted by total volume — biggest markets all the time. Pulse is sorted by life-cycle stage — what is new, what is live, what is closing right now.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://graphdex-1.gitbook.io/graphdex-docs/pulse-predictions/pulse-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
