Deposit Methods
Making your First Trade
Once youâve signed up and deposited, youâre ready to get started trading.
Choose a Market
On Polymarket, there are a handful of ways to identify a market you want to trade. You can view every market on the markets page. There, you can narrow your search with the search, sort, and filter tools.
Buy Shares
Once youâve found a market you want to trade, click on it.
On the market page, youâll find helpful details about the market, like the graph, rules, and current odds.
To make your first trade, use the âbuyâ modal on the right side of the screen:
- Click the outcome you want to buy (usually Yes or No), then enter a dollar amount.
- Click Buy.
Once your trade has gone through, youâll see a notification that it was successful. Congrats, youâre officially a Polymarket trader đ
Remember, youâre not locked into your bet: you can sell your position at the current odds any time before the market ends.
Share your Trade
Youâll also see a bet slip to share on social media. We love sending $$$ to traders who post their trades on Twitter and tag us!
Simple, right? If you think youâve got the hang of it, itâs time to learn about more advanced trading and order types.
