Categories & Filters

The 11 category pills and the filter toolbar — what each one narrows, and when to use which.

Research, Pulse, and Bubble share the same eleven category pills. They are stateful: the pill you pick stays selected as you switch between tabs. Filters above the table further narrow the visible markets.

The eleven categories

Pill	What it covers	Typical market shape
All	No category filter	every active market
Politics	Elections, legislative votes, leadership changes	Yes/No, long-window
Sports	Championships, finals, individual results	Yes/No or multi-outcome
Crypto	Token price movement, protocol events	Up/Down, often short-window
Finance	Stock prices, ETF flows, corporate actions	Up/Down, mostly short-window
Geopolitics	International deals, ceasefires, sanctions	Yes/No, medium-to-long window
Earnings	Corporate earnings beats / misses	Yes/No, fixed-date
Tech	Product launches, regulatory actions on tech firms	Yes/No
World	Generic world-events not covered elsewhere	mixed
Economy	Macro releases (CPI, employment), rate decisions	Yes/No or Up/Down
Climate & Science	Climate data, scientific milestones	Yes/No, long-window
Elections	Specific election outcomes (US, EU, regional)	Yes/No or multi-outcome

Pick All to see everything; pick a category to thin the table to a manageable size.

Filter toolbar

The toolbar sits above the table and exposes:

• Filters modal — minimums for volume, liquidity, participants; min/max time-to-close; market type (Yes/No vs Up/Down vs multi-outcome).

• Amount preset — 0.01 / 0.05 / 0.1 / 1. The Quick Buy buttons in every row use this amount.

• Speed preset — Slow / Fast / Turbo. The Quick Buy buttons use this speed. See Speed Presets.

• Settings cog — opens the trading defaults modal (slippage, fees, confirmation behaviour).

Sensible combinations

• Trends + Politics — biggest political markets right now. Useful around election cycles.

• New + Crypto — newest short-window crypto markets the moment they open. Pair with a tight Speed preset (Fast or Turbo).

• Bubble + All + min-volume slider raised — visual scan of the biggest active markets across every category.

• Trends + Sports + tournament window — championship-style markets during major events.

Things to know

• Category and filter selections persist across tabs. Switching from Research → Pulse keeps your Politics pill active.

• The filters do not affect what is in the order book — they only change what you see.

• If a category looks empty, try All; some categories are seasonal (Elections, Earnings) and may have no active markets between events.

Filter combinations are persisted in your browser, not in your account. If you sign in on another device, you'll start from defaults.

FAQs

Can I add my own category?

No. The 11 categories are platform-defined and assigned per market by the GraphDex team.

Why does "Earnings" sometimes have very few markets?

Earnings markets cluster around corporate reporting seasons. Outside those weeks, the category will be sparse or empty.

Do filters apply when I click into a market page?

No. Filters only constrain the list views. Once you are on a market page, you see the full order book and full outcomes regardless of which category filter brought you there.
