Reading a market

What to check before buying or selling shares.

Reading a market

Before trading, slow down and read the full market.

Check the basics

  • market title and description;
  • YES and NO labels;
  • category, tags, and any location context;
  • current price and recent movement;
  • trading cutoff and expected resolution timing;
  • resolver information where shown.

Read the outcomes carefully

Some markets are easy to misunderstand. Make sure you know what YES means and what NO means before you trade.

Use social signals carefully

Comments and recent trades can be useful context. They are not proof that an outcome will win.
