Open any market and you get the same layout: a chart on the left, the trade panel and order book stacked on the right, and four tabs of activity underneath.

Picking a market

An event can hold several markets — one per candidate, per team, per threshold. When it does, a row of buttons under the title lets you switch between them, each showing its own Yes price. Everything else on the page follows your choice. The star beside the title adds the event to your Watchlist.

The price chart

Above the chart, a Yes / No toggle shows both current prices; picking one selects which side the chart, the order book and the trade panel are about. Next to it is the 24-hour change for the side you are on. Five intervals on the right: 1H, 6H, 1D, 1W and MAX. Shorter intervals are drawn at a finer resolution — 1H is minute-by-minute, MAX is hourly. The chart opens on MAX. Both outcomes are drawn when there is enough history for them, so you can read Yes against No on the same axes. Live trades extend the line as they arrive rather than waiting for the next refresh. Crypto “Up or Down” markets get a different panel instead: the price to beat, the current Chainlink price and the gap between them, a countdown, the live price chart for that window with the target marked, and a link to the next window when this one ends.

The order book

Asks above, bids below, ten levels each, with the spread across the middle. Every row is price, size and running total, and the shaded bar behind it is that row’s share of the deepest total on screen. The strip at the top says whether you are looking at a live stream or a snapshot, and — when the stream is running — the price of the last trade. The book prefers the live feed and falls back to a periodic snapshot until it warms up. The book is for the outcome selected above it, which is why the header says Order book · YES or · NO.

The four tabs

Recent trades in this market: who traded, which outcome, at what price, for how many shares, and how long ago. Buys are green, sells red. Traders show under their Polymarket name or pseudonym, falling back to a short address.
The largest holders of each outcome, side by side, up to eight per side, with the value of each position.
Your open orders in this market only — outcome, side, price, how much has filled, status and age. Each row has an X that cancels it. Signed out, it asks you to sign in.
Your executed trades in this market — outcome, side, price, shares and when.
Your open orders across every market are on the Portfolio page. Fills are per-market only — there is no combined fill history in the terminal.

Market details

Below the tabs: volume, 24-hour volume, liquidity, end date, condition ID and slug. The market’s own description and Polymarket’s tags sit at the bottom. Above those, a row of badges — Active, Closed, Accepting orders, Order book. Each appears only when it is true, and there is no badge for the negative case: a market that has stopped taking orders does not say so, it simply has no Accepting orders badge. Absence is the only signal you get. When you are signed in, a strip of extra market statistics may appear above the chart. It is drawn from an external data source and is hidden entirely when that source has nothing for this market.
