# 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.,<kbd>10,50, \$100</kbd>)
   * **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
