Trading Overview
The market page — chart, order book, direction buttons, outcomes. Where every prediction trade actually lives.
When you click a market from Research, Pulse, or a Bubble, you land on the market page. URL pattern: /predictions/terminal/{marketId}. It is a single screen with everything you need to size and submit a trade: a chart of the implied probability over time, an order book of working bids and offers, the Buy / Sell widget with direction toggles and presets, and (for multi-outcome markets) the list of outcomes you can pick from.
This section walks the screen end-to-end and explains the trade-offs behind each control.
Walkthrough
Header · Chart · Order Book · Widget · Outcomes — what each panel does.
Reading depth, spread, and the probability time-series.
Picking direction, sizing the order, executing.
EXECUTION TOOLBOX
Each market exposes the same execution controls:
Market vs Limit — fill now at the best available price, or post a price and wait. See Limit Orders.
Up / Down (or Yes / No) — which side you take.
Amount presets
0.01 / 0.05 / 0.1 / 1— pick or type your own.Speed presets
Slow / Fast / Turbo— how aggressively the order is routed. See Speed Presets.Trading settings — defaults that apply across every market you touch. See Trading Settings.
MULTI-OUTCOME MARKETS
Some markets resolve to one of many outcomes — Will Spain win the 2026 FIFA World Cup? spawns a single market with rows for Spain, France, Argentina, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland and more. Each outcome is its own line in the Outcomes panel; you pick one and trade Up/Down on it specifically.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG
Predictions trading is not the same as token trading. A few failure modes show up here that don't on Solana spot:
Liquidity gaps on small markets — Quick Buy lands a worse fill than the row suggested.
Resolution delays when a real-world event takes time to settle.
Oracle disputes when the data source for resolution is contested.
See Execution Risks for the full list and how to avoid each one.

Trading on prediction markets is non-recourse. There is no refund button, no support override for a bad trade. Read the order book before you click.
FAQs
How do I get to a market page?
Click any row in Research, Pulse, or Bubble; click a market name from your Wallet → My Orders; or paste a market URL directly.
Is the chart the price or the probability?
For Up/Down markets the chart is the underlying asset price (e.g. BTC). For Yes/No and multi-outcome markets it is the implied probability of the leading side. See Order Book & Chart.
Can I trade two outcomes on the same multi-outcome market?
Yes — each outcome is a separate sub-market. You can hold Up on Spain and Down on France simultaneously.
What happens if a market doesn't resolve?
Resolution rules are per-market and visible on the page. Disputed or delayed markets are handled per platform policy — see Execution Risks for guidance on what to expect.
Where do I check my open trades after submitting?
Wallet → My Orders for working orders, My Assets for filled positions, Transaction History for everything chronological.
