# Terminal

Before placing your first order, familiarize yourself with the four main zones of the Trading Terminal.

### **Market Information & Rules (Top Bar)**

The top navigation bar provides all the essential context you need to understand and follow an event's progress:

* **Market header:** Displays the event name, source platform icon, time remaining.
* **Quick info:** Access the official **Rules**, **More Insights**, or view the source market directly.

On the right side of the market title, you will see a “v” button to see your **Favorites**, **Related** or **All Events**.

### **All Markets (Left Sidebar)**

The left column allows you to switch quickly between different prediction options within the same event:

* **Market selector:** Quickly switch between different outcomes within the same event (e.g., different price targets for Bitcoin or various interest rate levels).
* **Quick stats:** Each market in the list shows its current price and 24h trend so you can spot moving opportunities instantly.

### **Chart & Order Book (Center)**

The center area provides a deep look at price movements and the current buying or selling activity:

* **Live stats:** Instant view of the **Last Price**, **24h Change**, **Total Volume**, and **Open Interest**.
* **Interactive charting:** Analyze price action with candlestick or line charts. Switch **timeframes** from 1m to 1D to spot trends.
* **Live order book:** Watch the heartbeat of the market. See exactly where buyers (**Bids**) and sellers (**Asks**) are lining up their orders.
* **Market spread:** Monitor the gap between the best **buy** and **sell** **prices** to ensure the most efficient entry.

### **Execution Panel (Right Sidebar)**

The right sidebar is your main action area for placing orders and checking your available balance:

* **Trade interface:** This is your action zone. Switch between **Buy/Sell** or **Yes/No** outcomes.
* **Smart toggle:** Use the small "**<**" arrow button to expand the panel for trading or collapse it to maximize your chart view.
* **Balance & PnL:** View your available cash and see your potential "**To win**" amount before confirming a trade.

### **Data & Activity (Bottom Section)**

The bottom section helps you track market money flow and your personal activity for the selected event:

* **Trade history:** Switch between **Recent Trades**, **Top Traders**, and **Holders** to see who is active in this market.
* **My activity:** Toggle to **My Positions**, **Open Orders**, or Order **History** to manage your specific trades for this event.
* **Tracker sidebar:** Monitor other trending markets or your favorite wallets while you trade by clicking the \[star] icon in each row.
