​
Understanding Position Metrics

Total amount invested to build this position.Calculated as: Shares × Entry Price (including fees paid)Example: 145.50 shares x 0.681 = 99.11This is your break-even point. Position must be worth more than this to profit.
Total shares you own in this outcome.
  • Accumulated from one or more buy orders
  • Can be partially sold (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
  • Shown in number of shares (not dollar value)
Example: 145.50 shares means you own 145.50 shares of the YES outcome.
Average price paid per share across all purchases.Calculated as: Total Cost ÷ Total SharesExample:
  • First buy: 100 shares at 0.65 = 65.00
  • Second buy: 45.5 shares at 0.75 = 34.14
  • Average: 99.13 / 145.5 = 0.681/share
Entry price accounts for all buys but not any sells. If you sell and rebuy, average may change.
Live market price for this outcome right now.
  • Updates in real-time from Polymarket order book
  • Shows best available bid (for selling)
  • Used to calculate current market value
  • Changes as traders buy and sell
If current price is higher than your entry price, you have unrealized profit. If lower, unrealized loss.
What your position is worth at current market price.Calculated as: Position Size × Current PriceExample: 145.50 shares x 0.725 = 105.49This is how much you’d receive (before fees) if you sold your entire position right now at market price.
Profit or loss on paper if you closed the position now.Calculated as: Market Value - Cost Basis
  • Positive (+) = Profitable position (in the money)
  • Negative (-) = Losing position (underwater)
  • Percentage = (P&L ÷ Cost Basis) × 100
Example: 105.49 - 99.68 = +$5.81 profit (+5.8%)
“Unrealized” means the profit/loss is not locked in yet. It changes as the market price moves. Only becomes “realized” when you sell.

Managing Positions

​
Selling Positions

Close or reduce your position to realize profits or cut losses:
1

Select Position

From Positions, click the market you want to sell.You’ll see:
  • Position details
  • Unrealized P&L
  • Close Position button
2

Choose Sell Amount

Select what percentage to sell:
Lock in profits while staying exposed:
  • 25% - Take small profit, keep most exposure
  • 50% - Split position, secure half the gains
  • 75% - Reduce risk, keep small remaining position
Partial sells are great when you have profits but think there’s more upside. Secure some gains while staying in the game.
3

Choose Order Type

  • Choose Market or Limit
  • Select price preset or input custom amount (for Limit only)
4

Execute Sell

  1. Review sell details:
    • Shares being sold

    • Fee (after 1% fee)

​
Managing Orders

Track and manage pending limit orders from Orders.

​
Order Status

Pending limit orders waiting in the order book:
  • Order ID (unique identifier)
  • Market name
  • Side (BUY/SELL)
  • Price and size
  • Filled amount (partial fills)
  • Time remaining (if expiring)
Live orders can be cancelled anytime. Funds are locked until filled or cancelled.

​
Cancelling Orders

Cancel limit orders that haven’t filled yet:
1

Find Order

Go to Orders and locate the live order you want to cancel.
2

Cancel Order

  1. Click the order to view details
  2. Click Cancel Order button
  3. Confirm cancellation
Cancellation is instant. Funds return to your tradable balance immediately.
Cannot cancel:
  • Orders that have already filled
  • Orders currently matching
  • Orders from other platforms (only Onsight orders)
If an order just filled, it will appear in your positions instead of orders list.

​
Why Cancel Orders?

Market price moved and your limit order is now too far from current price to fill.Example: You set buy limit at 0.60, market is now at 0.75. Cancel and place new order at $0.72.
Your analysis or prediction changed based on new information.Example: News broke that changes your thesis. Cancel and reassess before entering at different price or side.
You need the locked funds for another trade opportunity.Example: Better opportunity emerged. Cancel old order to free up cash for new trade.
Order has been open for a long time without filling.Example: Limit order open for 2 days with no partial fills. Market may never reach your price. Cancel and try market order or different price.

​
Balance Metrics

Your home screen displays your balance metrics:

​
Balances Overview

Balances Overview
BALANCES
🔹 POL USDC.e Available for Trades: 50.00
🔹 Open Positions Value: 100.00
🔹 Pending Limit Orders: 250.00
Available USDC.e for new trades.This is your “buying power” - liquid funds not locked in positions or orders.
Keep some tradable balance for opportunities. Don’t deploy 100% of funds at once.
Total market value of all open positions.Sum of: (Position Size × Current Price) for each positionThis is what you’d receive if you sold everything right now (before fees).
USDC.e locked in pending limit orders.For BUY orders: Price × Size locked For SELL orders: Shares locked (shown as dollar value)These funds return to tradable balance when orders fill or get cancelled.

​
Net Worth Calculation

Your total account value consists of: 
Net Worth = Tradable Balance
          + Positions Value
          + Open Orders Value

Example:
= $1,125.50 (tradable)
+ $2,450.25 (positions)
+ $325.00 (orders)
= $3,900.75 total

​
Performance Tracking

Check your portfolio daily to:
  • Review position P&L changes
  • Monitor limit order fills
  • Identify winners and losers
  • Adjust positions based on new info
  • Take profits on big winners
Set a daily routine: Morning check before markets heat up, evening check to plan tomorrow’s trades.
Once per week, analyze:
  • Overall portfolio ROI
  • Best and worst trades
  • Win rate (% of profitable trades)
  • Average profit per trade
  • Category performance (politics vs sports etc)
Learn from both winners and losers to improve your strategy.
Manage risk with proper position sizing:
  • Small positions (< 5% of portfolio) - High-risk speculative trades
  • Medium positions (5-10%) - Standard conviction trades
  • Large positions (10-20%) - High-conviction value plays
  • Never more than 20% in one position
Diversification is crucial. Never put all funds in one market, even if you’re very confident. Markets can surprise you.
Protect your capital with discipline:
  • Stop-losses - Close positions down X% (e.g., -15%)
  • Profit targets - Take profits at Y% (e.g., +25%)
  • Time limits - Exit if market doesn’t move in Z days
  • Max drawdown - Stop trading if down more than W% (e.g., -30%)
Professional traders have rules and stick to them. Emotional decisions lead to losses. Set rules when calm, follow them when stressed.

Best Practices

Regular Reviews

Check portfolio daily. Markets move fast - stay informed on your positions and adjust as needed.

Take Profits

Don’t get greedy. When you have solid gains (20%+), consider taking partial profits to lock in success.

Cut Losses

Bad trades happen. Cut losses quickly (10-15% down) rather than hoping for recovery. Capital preservation is key.

Diversify

Spread risk across markets, categories, and timeframes. Never go all-in on one outcome.
Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. Markets are probabilistic - even good trades can lose. Focus on making +EV decisions over many trades, not winning every single trade.
