Market Orders

Market orders execute immediately at the current market price. Use them when you want to enter or exit a position quickly.

Buying

From a Market Screen

  1. Open any market (paste a Polymarket URL or navigate from Positions)
  2. Tap an outcome button (e.g., “YES (45c)”)
  3. Choose your buy amount:
    • Preset amounts — tap one of your quick buy presets (e.g.,10,50, $100)
    • Custom amount — tap the custom amount button, then type a USD value
  4. The order is submitted and you’ll see a confirmation: “Transaction Submitted”

From a Position

If you already hold a position, you can buy more directly from the Position Detail screen:
  1. Go to Positions > tap a position
  2. On the Market tab, use the buy preset buttons or enter a custom amount
  3. The order is submitted with the same flow

Custom Amount Input

When entering a custom amount:
  • Type a positive number (e.g., 25 or 150.50)
  • The amount must be at least the minimum buy amount
  • The amount cannot exceed your available balance
If your input is invalid, the bot will re-prompt you with an error message.

Selling

Sell orders are available from the Position Detail screen (Market tab).
There are three ways to sell:

Sell Initial

Recovers your initial investment by selling just enough shares. Only available when your position is profitable (current value exceeds what you invested).

Preset Percentages

Sell a percentage of your position using your quick sell presets (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). The number of shares is calculated automatically based on your position size.

Custom Percentage

  1. Tap “Sell custom %”
  2. Enter an integer between 1 and 100
  3. The bot calculates how many shares that represents and submits the order

Order Confirmation

After submitting any market order, you’ll see a “Transaction Submitted” message. The order is processed in the background. Once completed, the message updates to show:
  • Success — order details, shares purchased/sold, and a link to view the transaction on Polygonscan
  • Failure — error details with a link back to the main menu
