How buying YES or NO shares works on Polynion.
Buying shares
Buying shares is how you take a position in an Opinion Market.
How it works
- Open a market.
- Choose YES or NO.
- Enter how many Credits you want to use.
- Review estimated shares, fee, and price impact.
- Confirm the trade.
What happens after confirm
The trade is queued, then processed. Your trade history shows whether it processed or failed.
Credits are deducted when the trade is processed. If the queue cannot accept the trade, the app marks the attempt failed instead of silently pretending it worked.
Why the quote can change
Prices move when other users trade. If market state changes before your trade processes, final execution can differ from the preview. The app also blocks unsafe boundary cases.
