FAQs

How do I place a limit order?

Navigate to your desired market's page. In the 'Buy' modal, select your preferred action (Buy or Sell) and order type (Limit). Next, choose the share you want to set the order for (YES or NO).

From here, you'll need to input the price that a single share must reach before your order is triggered, and the number of shares you want to buy. For instance, if you wanted to purchase 500 YES shares at a price of 60¢, you'd input 60 in the When 1 Share = field and 500 in the You Buy field.

When this information is provided, you can view your projected outcome should the market resolve in your favor.

Finally, select your preferred order expiry from the drop-down (or leave it as is if you don't want it to expire), and click Create Buy Order / Create Sell Order.

Once the order is confirmed, it will appear under the Open Orders tab on the market.

How do I place a market order?

Navigate to your desired market's page. In the 'Buy' modal, select your preferred action (Buy or Sell). Next, choose the type of share you want to buy (YES or NO).

Finally, input the amount you'd like to spend to populate the To Win and You Get fields. If you're happy with the result, hit the Buy X / Sell X button to initiate the transaction.

As a market order takes from the order book and could potentially match with invalid orders, you may receive less shares than estimated.

How many orders can I have open concurrently?

On a single market, you can have up to 10 limit orders open at the same time.

Note that this is a per-market limit — so you could, for example, have 30 orders open across three separate markets.

When do markets resolve?

It depends on the market. You can find this information for any given market on its respective page.

What happens in case of a UMA dispute?

Rest assured — UMA disputes are a feature, not a bug.

Disputes arise in the event where a UMA user that proposes an event outcome (called an "Asserter") responds with an answer another user (the "Disputer") deems incorrect.
