Place your first trade

Before you begin, sign in and make sure your wallet is funded. If it isn’t, start with Get started with Oddeon.

1. Choose a market you understand

Open a market and read its resolution rules. Pay attention to the winning condition, resolution source, and closing time.

2. Select an outcome and amount

Choose an outcome and enter an amount. The price beside the outcome is a useful reference; the live quote is the estimate for your actual order size.

3. Review the quote

Before you confirm, check:

Buy or sell, and the selected outcome.
Amount and estimated shares.
Estimated average execution price.
Estimated payout if the outcome wins.
Fees and total cost or proceeds.
Slippage and any warning.
Execution venue or routes.
Time remaining before the quote expires.

4. Confirm and follow the order

After confirmation, the order moves to Processing. If the update takes a little longer than expected, check order history instead of submitting the trade again.

The order may fill, partially fill, be rejected, or fail. Order statuses explains each result.

5. Track the position

A fill creates or updates a position in your portfolio. Its displayed value and unrealized P&L will move with the market. Neither becomes final until you sell or the market settles.
