Polymarket-Specific Features
Yes/No Prices
Unlike Kalshi's single probability display, Polymarket shows both Yes and No prices. This helps you quickly see the market's full picture and identify any pricing inefficiencies.
Spread Indicator
The SPRD column shows the bid-ask spread in cents. Lower spreads (1-3¢) indicate better liquidity and tighter markets. Higher spreads (5¢+) suggest less competition and potentially harder execution.
24h Change
The Δ24H column shows recent price movement, color-coded:
- Green: Price increased
- Red: Price decreased
- Gray: No significant change
Tips for Effective Scanning
Watch for tight spreads. Markets with 1-2¢ spreads are highly liquid and easier to trade. Wide spreads might indicate less interest or upcoming volatility.
Sort by 24h volume to find what's trending. Sudden volume spikes often indicate breaking news or approaching resolution.
Use probability filters to find undervalued opportunities. Some traders focus on high-probability markets (80%+) for safer plays, while others look for long shots (0-20%) with potential upside.
Check multiple time frames. Use the expiration filter to separate short-term trades from longer-term positions.
