π Olympus Market Pages
Olympus market pages are where you research markets and place manual trades on Polymarket.
Whether you are checking a market before following a wallet or trading directly yourself, these pages give you the core tools you need in one place.
π Finding Markets
You can open any market page through the global search bar in the header.
Start typing a market name, topic, team, or event, then click the result you want to open.
Market pages are useful for:
- researching price action
- checking liquidity
- watching live trades
- placing manual trades directly
π Price Chart
The price chart shows how a market has moved over time.
Depending on the market, you can use it to:
- switch between different timeframes
- inspect recent or long-term price action
- compare outcomes
- hover to see exact prices and timestamps
For binary markets, the chart helps you understand how Yes and No have moved.
For multi-outcome events, it helps you compare different candidates or outcomes more clearly.
π Order Book
The order book shows current bids and asks in the market.
This is one of the most useful parts of the page if you care about execution quality.
What to look at
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Price | The price level for current orders |
| Size | The size available at that level |
| Total | The cumulative size up to that level |
Why it matters
- Bids show what buyers are willing to pay
- Asks show what sellers are asking
- Spread shows the gap between the best bid and best ask
- Depth shows how much size is sitting near the current market
Tighter spreads and better depth usually mean cleaner execution.
If the spread is wide, market orders can become much more expensive than they first appear.
β‘ Live Trades
The live trades feed shows market activity as trades happen.
This helps you see:
- whether the market is active right now
- where recent executions are happening
- whether aggressive buyers or sellers are moving the market
- whether a sudden price move is happening with real volume behind it
Watching live trades is especially useful before entering thinner or faster-moving markets.
π― Multi-Outcome Events
Some Polymarket events have more than two possible outcomes.
In these cases, Olympus lets you inspect the event at a broader level instead of treating it like a simple Yes/No market.
You can:
- view the different outcomes in one event
- compare probabilities across outcomes
- switch between outcomes in the chart and trading panel
- inspect volume and liquidity for each outcome
This is especially useful for markets like elections, awards, or other outcome sets with many candidates.
πΉ Trading Panel
The trading panel is where you place manual trades.
It updates based on the market, outcome, and order type you choose.
Common controls
- Buy / Sell selection
- Outcome selection
- Amount or share inputs
- Price previews
- execution or slippage warnings
- order-type controls
Manual trading on market pages is separate from copy trading.
Your copy bot handles followed-wallet trades automatically, while market pages are for your own direct trading decisions.
π Order Types
Olympus market pages support multiple order types depending on how you want to trade.
Market Buy
Use this when you want to enter immediately.
- buys at the best available ask
- prioritizes speed
- can cost more when spreads are wide
This is the most direct way to enter a position, but it also means you are crossing the spread.
Market Sell
Use this when you want to exit immediately.
- sells at the best available bid
- prioritizes speed
- can give you a worse exit when liquidity is thin
Like market buys, this crosses the spread.
Limit Buy
Use this when you want more control over your entry price.
- you choose the maximum price you are willing to pay
- the order rests until someone sells into it
- you avoid paying above your limit price
- the trade may never fill if price runs away
This is often the better choice when spreads are wide or when you care more about price discipline than instant execution.
Limit Sell
Use this when you want more control over your exit price.
- you choose the minimum price you are willing to accept
- the order rests until someone buys from you
- you avoid dumping immediately at a weak bid
- the trade may stay open longer or fail to fill if price moves away
This can help protect exits, but it also introduces timing risk.
β±οΈ Limit Order Expiration
When using limit orders, Olympus lets you control how long those orders stay open.
That matters because an unfilled order can sit for a while if the market never returns to your price.
In practice, expiration settings help you balance:
- patience for a better fill
- risk of missing the trade
- how long you want capital tied up in an open order
π± Mobile Experience
Market pages also work on mobile.
On smaller screens, the layout is organized into tabs so you can switch between the main views more easily, such as:
- trading
- chart
- order book
- live market activity
That makes it possible to research and trade without needing the full desktop layout.
π‘ Tips for Using Market Pages
- check the spread before placing market orders
- use the order book to judge whether your size is realistic
- watch live trades to see whether the move is active or fading
- use limit orders when price matters more than immediate entry
- compare outcomes before trading multi-outcome events
- be more careful in thin markets, especially when entering with size
π― Final Takeaway
Market pages are where Olympus becomes more than just a copy-trading tool.
They give you a full manual trading workspace for Polymarket, with the context you need to evaluate a market, understand execution, and choose how to enter or exit with more control.
