Trading Basics

Prediction markets allow you to trade on the outcome of future events. On Winnr, markets are typically binary (Yes/No questions).

Market Shares​

When you trade on a market, you are buying "Shares" of a specific outcome.

  • YES Shares: Payout $1 (or 1 USDC) if the event occurs.
  • NO Shares: Payout $1 (or 1 USDC) if the event does not occur.

The price of a share reflects the market's perceived probability of that outcome. For example, if a YES share costs $0.60, the market estimates a 60% chance of the event happening.

Taking a Position​

To take a position:

  1. Select the outcome you believe is correct (YES or NO).
  2. Enter the amount you wish to invest, or the number of shares you wish to buy.
  3. Confirm the transaction in your connected wallet.

Selling a Position​

You don't have to hold a position until the market resolves. You can sell your shares at any time before the market closes at the current market price to lock in profits or cut losses.
