Bubble

A bubble-map of every active prediction market — bigger bubble means bigger volume, colour shows the leading side.

The Bubble tab in Research swaps the table for a single canvas of circles. Each circle is one market. Bigger circles carry more volume; colour shows which side is leading (green for the Up/Yes side, red for Down/No). Hover a bubble to see the question and current odds; click to open the market page.

This is the view for fast pattern-finding: spot the heavyweights, see where flow is clustering, and zoom in on the slices you care about.

Reading the canvas

• Size = volume. A bubble twice as wide as another carries roughly four times the volume.

• Colour = leading side. Green-leaning bubbles are biased toward Up/Yes; red-leaning bubbles toward Down/No. Tightly balanced markets sit near neutral.

• Position = clustered by category. Markets in the same category cluster together so you can scan a slice at a glance.

Filters on Bubble

The toolbar above the canvas lets you narrow what is drawn:

• Bubble count — cap the number of circles (e.g. top 100). Lower it on a slow connection.

• Volume / Liquidity — minimum-volume and minimum-liquidity sliders hide the long tail.

• Time-to-close — show only short-window or only long-window markets.

• Region / category — same 11 categories as the New and Trends views, plus a region flag set for Politics/Elections markets.

When Bubble is the right view

• You want to scan the whole universe in one glance and pick the visually loudest market.

• You are comparing categories — Politics vs Crypto vs Sports — without scrolling a long table.

• You want to spot one-sided markets quickly (deep green or deep red bubbles).

When Bubble is the wrong view

• You need to compare exact volumes side-by-side — use Trends, where they are sortable in a column.

• You need to act on the very newest market — use New; Bubble updates with the canvas but New surfaces fresh rows at the top instantly.

A big green bubble is not a "buy signal". Size and colour reflect what is in the book right now — not what is going to happen. Treat Bubble as a discovery tool, not a recommendation.

FAQs

Does the canvas refresh in real time?

Yes. Bubble sizes and colours update as the order book moves. The number of circles re-flows when you change a filter.

Can I trade directly from the bubble?

Click a bubble to open the full market page with Quick Buy controls. There is no in-canvas Up/Down button — it would be too easy to click the wrong market.

What do the flag icons in the toolbar do?

They filter to markets tied to that region — most useful on Politics and Elections markets ("US elections", "EU elections"). Leave them all on to see the full set.
