Trading Settings

Set defaults once — every market inherits them. The settings cog opens the modal.

The trading defaults modal is reachable from the settings cog on the Research toolbar, on the Pulse lane filter, and on the trading widget itself. Every value here applies across every market unless overridden per click.

What's in the modal

• Default amount — the size loaded into the trading widget when you open a market. Independent from the preset chips, which are a quick-pick overlay.

• Default speed — Slow / Fast / Turbo. Applied to Quick Buy clicks and to the widget on every market.

• Slippage tolerance — maximum acceptable slippage on Market orders. Slow has a tight default; Turbo loosens it.

• Confirmation modal — toggle. Off (default) submits with a single click. On adds a confirmation step before every submit.

• Show outcomes on Pulse rows — toggle. When on, Pulse rows for multi-outcome markets expand inline.

Recommended starting profile

• Amount: an amount that matches your normal sizing for this market type. If unsure, leave it at 0.1.

• Speed: Slow unless you actively want every click to be aggressive.

• Slippage: leave at default for your speed preset.

• Confirmation: On when you start out — turn it off only when you trust your own clicks.

Overriding per click

The widget defaults can be overridden per market without changing the modal:

• Tap a different amount preset chip on the widget.

• Switch Speed from Slow → Fast on the widget.

• Type a custom amount.

Per-click changes do not modify your saved defaults.

When to change defaults

• You switched from testing to real-size trading — bump the default amount.

• You moved to a different style of market (short-window cycles vs long-window events) — adjust default speed to match urgency.

• You're getting bad fills — tighten slippage or downgrade Speed.

Default = applies everywhere. A default amount of "1" applied to Quick Buy on the cheapest preset chip means every accidental click is at "1" size. Match defaults to your risk tolerance.

FAQs

Are settings synced across devices?

Most settings are local to your browser. Sign in on a different device and you'll start from defaults until you re-configure.

Does the slippage tolerance apply to Limit orders?

No — Limit orders fill at the price you specify. Slippage only applies to Market orders.

What happens if I turn confirmation off?

Every Up/Down/Yes/No/Buy/Sell click submits immediately. No second-step prompt. Faster, riskier.

Can I reset everything to default?

Yes — there is a Reset button at the bottom of the modal that returns every setting to its first-install value.
