Polymarket Perps Trading Competition

Step by step guide Polymarket Perps Trading Competition

1. Sign up and fund your account

   Visit Polymarket and create an account or log in if you already have one.

   → Sign in with Google, email or a supported wallet/social account.

   → Select Deposit and choose your preferred funding method:

   • Use Crypto: Transfer supported cryptocurrencies from your wallet or connect an exchange.

   • Use Cash: Deposit using a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Cash App, where available.

   → Follow the deposit instructions to fund your Polymarket account.

   📌 By trading, you agree to Polymarket’s Terms of Use and confirm that you are not a U.S. person or located in a restricted geographic jurisdiction.

2. Explore prediction markets and trading opportunities

   Explore Polymarket’s markets to trade on real-world events, price movements and future outcomes. Each prediction market offers shares representing possible outcomes, with prices between $0 and $1 reflecting the market’s estimated probability.

   → Yes/No markets: Buy Yes shares if you believe an event will happen, or No shares if you believe it won’t. For example, predict whether Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by a specific date.

   → Multiple-outcome markets: Choose from several possible results, such as which candidate will win an election or which team will win a tournament.

   → Time-based markets: Predict whether Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency will move Up or Down over a specified period, including short-term markets lasting just minutes.

   → Perps trading: Take leveraged long positions if you expect prices to rise, or short positions if you expect them to fall, across crypto, stocks, indices, commodities and pre-IPO markets.

   💡 How prediction trading works: If you buy a Yes share for $0.60 and the event happens, that share pays $1 when the market resolves, giving you a $0.40 profit before fees. If the event doesn’t happen, you lose the $0.60 invested. You can also sell your shares before resolution at the available market price.

   ↳ Auto-Redeem: Enable automatic redemption with a one-time approval to have winning prediction-market payouts credited to your balance after resolution.
