Choose **Log In** or **Sign Up** and follow an available sign-in method. Complete the account setup and review any wallet connection or transaction request. Your market account is where you manage collateral and outcome positions. #### Step 2: Add collateral Open **Portfolio** and choose **Deposit**. Check the supported asset, network, destination, and any minimum amount shown before sending funds. The trading collateral is USDT on BNB Smart Chain. Use another deposit asset only if the interface explicitly offers it and explains how it is credited. Wait until the deposit is confirmed and your available balance updates. #### Step 3: Choose a market Read the complete resolution rules. Check the instrument, threshold, observation window, time zone, data source, and any exceptions. The market title summarizes the question. The rules determine the payout. #### Step 4: Choose an outcome and order Select **Yes** or **No** according to the question and the exposure you want to take. For example, a holder hedging a decline may buy Yes in a market asking whether the asset will fall below a threshold. The same holder may need No in a market asking whether the asset will remain above that threshold. Choose an available order type, enter the size, and review the expected execution price, potential payout, and costs. Confirm the order only after checking the summary. #### Step 5: Check execution An open order is not yet a filled hedge. Review its status and the quantity actually executed. A partially filled order gives you exposure only for its filled quantity. Use Portfolio to review your shares, average entry price, outstanding orders, and available collateral. #### Step 6: Manage or settle the position Before trading closes, you may place an order to reduce or exit a position. A sale requires available liquidity at an acceptable price. After resolution is finalized, use **Claim** for eligible shares and follow the transaction instructions. Claiming a payout into your market account and withdrawing funds to an external wallet are separate actions. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
