Monitoring Your Positions

Price Changes

Position values change as the market moves:

• If you hold YES and YES price goes up, your value increases

• If you hold YES and YES price goes down, your value decreases

Approaching Resolution

Watch for markets nearing their end time:

• The time remaining badge shows urgency

• Prices often become volatile near resolution

• Decide whether to hold or sell before resolution

News and Events

Stay informed about events affecting your markets:

• Price can move quickly on news

• Set alerts if available

• Check regularly for developments

When to Take Action

Consider Selling When

• You've hit your profit target

• News suggests you're wrong

• Risk/reward has changed

• You need the capital elsewhere

Consider Holding When

• Your thesis remains valid

• Price drop is emotional, not fundamental

• Resolution is imminent and you're confident

• P&L percentage is minimal

Consider Adding When

• Price moved against you but thesis is stronger

• You're underexposed to a high-conviction bet

• The market offers better risk/reward than before

Position Sizing Best Practices

Diversification

• Don't put all funds in one market

• Spread across different categories

• Vary your timeframes

Risk Management

• Never bet more than you can lose

• Size positions based on conviction

• Keep reserves for opportunities

Review Regularly

• Check positions at least daily

• Reassess thesis when prices move significantly

• Adjust based on new information

Closed Positions

Once a market resolves:

• Position moves from Active to History

• Final P&L is locked in

• Winnings (or losses) reflected in balance
