</Info>

## Browsing Markets

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Predict">
    Click the **Predict** tab in Jupiter's main navigation bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a section">
    By default, you land on **Browse**. Use the top navigation to switch between:

    * **Browse**: events across categories like sports, crypto, politics, economics, and more
    * **Degen**: short-duration crypto price markets
    * **For You**: personalised recommendations based on your activity
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter and search">
    Use category tabs, the **Live** filter, sorting, or search to narrow the market list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an event">
    Click any event card to see its markets, probability history, rules summary, and related events.

    <Tip>
      For multi-outcome events, only the top outcomes may be visible at first. Click **Show More** to see additional markets.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Placing an Order

Market orders are the main live trading path on Predict.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a market">
    From an event page, pick the outcome you want to trade on. Click **Yes** or **No** next to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your amount">
    Enter how much you want to spend. The app estimates how many contracts you can receive at the current price.

    <Tip>
      Use **HALF** or **MAX** to quickly set an amount from your available balance.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the quote">
    Check the selected side, estimated contracts, price, fees, and expected payout before confirming.

    The quote can change if the market moves or available liquidity changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and sign">
    Click the confirm button and sign in your wallet.

    If the order executes, your position appears in your Profile. If it cannot execute or only partially executes, any unused funds are returned automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Limit orders are temporarily paused.** The Limit tab may appear in the UI, but new limit orders are not currently available.
</Warning>

## Trading on Degen

Degen markets use the same wallet flow, but the market format is shorter and more price-focused.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch to Degen">
    Click the **Degen** tab in the top navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a market">
    Use the filters to choose a live asset and time window. The available assets and windows can change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Up or Down">
    Each card shows a reference price and current price. Click **Up** if you think the final price will be above the reference, or **Down** if you think it will be below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter amount and confirm">
    Review the quote, then sign in your wallet. If the route cannot execute, unused funds are returned automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Degen markets resolve after their time window ends. Settlement actions can vary by route: Profile shows whether the outcome is automatic, claimable, refundable, or final.

## Monitoring Your Positions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Profile">
    Click the **Profile** tab in the top navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View your positions">
    The **Positions** tab shows active positions with:

    * Current value and mark price
    * Average price paid
    * PnL, with a fee toggle where available
    * Potential payout if your side wins
    * Settlement status
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Open Orders">
    The **Open Orders** tab shows pending orders when that flow is available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review History">
    The **History** tab shows past trades, settlements, claims, and refunds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Closing a Position Early

You can try to exit a position before the market closes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Positions">
    In your Profile, find the position you want to close.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Close">
    Click **Close** on a position row to exit that position, or **Close All** to exit all eligible positions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and sign">
    The app attempts to sell your contracts at the current bid. If the close executes, the proceeds are returned to your wallet after any applicable fees.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Sells execute at the bid price, not the mid price. There is usually a spread between the price you pay to buy and the price you receive when you sell.

  Partial closes are not supported in the UI. Closing a position sells all your contracts in that market side.
</Warning>

You may not be able to close if trading has stopped, liquidity is too low, or the market's route is temporarily unavailable.

## Claiming Winnings

After a market settles in your favour, Profile shows whether your payout is claimable or has been settled automatically.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check settlement status">
    Profile must receive the final settlement status before it can show the final state. A market may show as pending on Jupiter for a short time after its source has resolved.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Claim if prompted">
    If Profile shows **Claim**, follow the prompt and sign in your wallet. A winning contract pays \$1 worth of the market's settlement asset. Some routes settle automatically and do not require a claim transaction.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If the market resolves against your position, the contracts are worthless and the position is marked as lost. No action is needed.

## Refunded Outcomes

Some markets can resolve to a refund or another non-standard outcome depending on the rules.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check Profile">
    Eligible refunds are processed on-chain and reflected in Profile. Profile shows the refund status and any available action after settlement status is available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow any available action">
    If the app shows a refund action, follow the prompt. Otherwise, wait for processing or raise a ticket via [Discord](https://discord.gg/jup) if something looks stuck for an unusually long time.
  </Step>
