What your traders see

Know exactly what a trader on an enabled brand finds in the WebTrader, so your desk can answer questions about it.

Once you turn Predictions on for a brand, its traders get a Predictions entry in the WebTrader navigation — on desktop and on mobile, always together. Nothing else changes for them, and there is no separate sign-up.

Watch it end to end

Two short walkthroughs follow a trader through the whole journey: buying a prediction and funding a prediction wallet.

The section and its tabs

Opening Predictions gives the trader two tabs — Dashboard, where they browse and buy, and Portfolio, where they see what they hold — plus a settlement history reached from Portfolio.

While the section is open, the account figures at the top of the screen switch from the trading account to the prediction wallet: Cash, Committed, and Potential payout. A trader who has never funded a prediction wallet sees Not funded yet rather than zeros invented for them. See The trader's prediction wallet.

The Dashboard

From top to bottom the trader sees:

  • A search box. Typing at least two characters replaces the browse content with results — a trader who has typed a question is not also browsing. If there are more matches than fit, the page asks them to narrow the query; if there are none but the words map to a category, it offers that category instead.
  • A featured area — the market your team put first, with the headline and context you wrote in Featured copy, a 30-day chance chart, and the two outcome buttons.
  • Category tabs across the market categories your firm offers in that trader's country — see Choose which categories each country sees.
  • Rails of market cards, including Closing soon and New, each with a View all.
  • Per-category sections below the rails, each with a See all.

A rail or section that cannot fill a row is hidden rather than shown half-empty, so a small catalog looks deliberate instead of broken.

Market statistics are not measured yet

Volume and price-movement figures are not being recorded in this release, so where a card would show 24-hour volume or movement the trader is told the statistics are not available — the platform never substitutes a zero for a number nobody recorded. The rails that would rank on those figures stay empty and are therefore hidden; Closing soon and New are unaffected. The 30-day chance chart is drawn from recorded price history, so it shows an empty frame until a market has some — never a made-up line.

A market page

Tapping a card opens the market:

  • The question, the payout per contract, and a countdown to the cutoff.
  • The Yes and No outcomes with their prices.
  • A 30-day chance chart.
  • The Rules and the Resolution source, exactly as the source states them, together with any context your team wrote.
  • A line naming the market and result source.

Back to Dashboard returns the trader to where they were, even across a page refresh.

Buying a contract

Buying is a two-step ticket, and the second step is timed:

  1. The trader picks a side, sets the number of Contracts, and taps Get price. The ticket states Maximum N contracts — the per-order ceiling from your risk policy — so the limit is known before the order rather than after it. The field is not clamped: a trader may type more, and the platform refuses it.
  2. The platform returns a firm price with a countdown — about three seconds by default, set by your pricing policy. The ticket shows the Price, the Cost, the Commission, the Total, the Maximum payout, the Maximum profit, and what the wallet will hold afterwards.
  3. The trader taps Buy before the countdown ends. If it lapses first, the ticket says the price expired and offers Get a new price — it is never a dead button.

Why a price expires

The price your firm offers is only honored for as long as your pricing policy says. Rather than letting a trader confirm a stale number, the ticket lapses and re-prices. A repeated confirmation of the same ticket can never create two positions.

Buying is the only direction. There is no selling short and no selling back: a contract is held until the market's result is known.

A refusal is always explained in the trader's own words — not enough funds, the cutoff has passed, the market is suspended, prices are out of date, a risk limit has been reached, or verification must be completed first. Every one of those refusals is also recorded on your Orders screen with its reason, so your desk can see exactly what the trader saw.

An order over the per-order contract ceiling is refused outright — nothing partially fills — and the trader is told how many contracts they can buy in one order, so they are never left bisecting a limit only your firm knows.

Portfolio and settlement history

Portfolio shows the wallet figures and every unresolved position, grouped into Still selling and Waiting for the result, with the side taken, the quantity, the total paid, the market's state, and the trading cutoff. A trader who holds nothing is invited to browse markets instead.

Settlement history, reached from Portfolio, lists everything that has settled, filterable by Won, Lost, and Refunded, with the cost basis, the opening commission, the result, when it settled, and the wallet credit.

Traders are also notified in the WebTrader when a prediction settles — won, lost, or refunded after a void — with a link into their settlement history.

When Predictions is not available

If the brand does not offer Predictions, the entry point is simply absent. If a trader reaches the section on an account that cannot use it — or every category is hidden for their country — they are told Predictions is not available on that account right now, never shown an error page or an empty product.
