Every market is a Yes/No question. The price represents the market’s implied probability. Example: “Will BTC be above $100K on July 1?”- Yes at 65¢ → Market thinks there’s a 65% chance
- No at 35¢ → Market thinks there’s a 35% chance
3. Open the Trading Modal

| Orderbook | Current buy/sell orders with depth |

4. Place Your Trade
Select Market Order
For your first trade, stick with Market Order (default). It executes instantly at the best available price.

- Shares — How many shares you’ll receive
- Avg price — Your entry price per share
- Fee — Platform fee (1%)
- Potential return — What you’ll earn if you win
5. Check Your Position
After buying, go to Portfolio → Positions to see your trade:- Entry price — What you paid per share
- Current price — What it’s worth now
- Unrealized PnL — Your paper profit or loss
- Sell button — Exit anytime before the market resolves
6. What Happens Next?
Two possible outcomes: You sell early — If the price moves in your favor, you can sell your shares at the higher price and lock in profit. No need to wait for the market to resolve. You hold until resolution — When the market resolves:- 🟢 You win → Each share pays $1.00. Go to Portfolio → click Redeem.
- 🔴 You lose → Shares are worth $0. Better luck next time.
