Trading & Market Mechanics
How does trading work?
When you Buy an outcome:
- You purchase shares in that outcome.
- The share price ranges between 0 and 1 USDT.
- The combined value of all outcomes equals 1 USDT.
When the market resolves:
- Winning shares are worth 1 USDT each.
- Losing shares are worth 0 USDT.
Why do prices change?
Prices move dynamically based on supply and demand.
When users buy an outcome:
- Its price increases.
When users sell:
- Its price decreases.
Prices update in real time.
What is slippage?
If you place a large trade:
- The final execution price may differ slightly from the displayed price.
- This difference is called slippage.
Reducing trade size may reduce slippage impact.
Why does my portfolio price differ from the live price?
Your portfolio reflects:
- Your average entry price
- Current market price
If market activity changes, live prices may differ from your original entry.
