# 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.

**Open a market and read it before you click**

Click any row in [Research](/graphdex-docs/research-predictions/research-overview.md) or [Pulse](/graphdex-docs/pulse-predictions/pulse-overview.md) to land on a market page. Glance at the order book before pressing Up or Down — it tells you whether the price is real.

## 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](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/limit-orders.md).
* **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](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/speed-presets.md).
* **Trading settings** — defaults that apply across every market you touch. See [Trading Settings](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/trading-settings.md).

## 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.

See [Outcomes & Top Holders](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/outcomes-and-holders.md).

## 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](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/execution-risks.md) 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

<details>

<summary>How do I get to a market page?</summary>

Click any row in Research, Pulse, or Bubble; click a market name from your Wallet → My Orders; or paste a market URL directly.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is the chart the price or the probability?</summary>

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](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/order-book-and-chart.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I trade two outcomes on the same multi-outcome market?</summary>

Yes — each outcome is a separate sub-market. You can hold Up on Spain and Down on France simultaneously.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if a market doesn't resolve?</summary>

Resolution rules are per-market and visible on the page. Disputed or delayed markets are handled per platform policy — see [Execution Risks](/graphdex-docs/trading-predictions/execution-risks.md) for guidance on what to expect.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Where do I check my open trades after submitting?</summary>

[Wallet](/graphdex-docs/wallet-predictions/wallet-overview.md) → My Orders for working orders, My Assets for filled positions, Transaction History for everything chronological.
