## 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 the **Browse** page. Use the top navigation to switch between:

    * **Browse**: events across all categories (politics, sports, crypto, economics, and more)
    * **Degen**: short-duration micro-bets on crypto prices (5min or 15min windows)
    * **For You**: personalised recommendations based on your activity
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter and search">
    In Browse, use the category tabs (Sports, Crypto, Politics, Esports, Culture, Economics, Tech, Finance, Weather, Mentions) or the **Live** filter to see only currently trading events.

    You can also sort by **Volume** or use the search bar to find a specific event.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open an event">
    Click on any event card to see all its markets, the probability chart over time, the rules summary, and related events.

    <Tip>
      For multi-outcome events (e.g., "Republican Presidential Nominee 2028"), the top outcomes are visible by default. Click **Show More** to drill down and see all sub-markets.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Placing an Order

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Market Order">
    A market order executes immediately at the best available price.

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

      <Step title="Select Market order type">
        In the order panel (right side), make sure **Market** is selected.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter your amount">
        Enter the amount of USDC you want to spend. The app calculates how many contracts you can buy at the current price.

        <Tip>
          Use the **HALF** or **MAX** buttons to quickly set the amount based on your USDC balance.
        </Tip>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Review">
        Check the displayed odds (e.g., "46% chance") and the implied number of contracts before confirming.
      </Step>

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

        Your USDC is reserved. If the order fills, your position appears in your Profile. If the order does not fill within 2 minutes (because the market moved beyond the ±\$0.02 slippage range), your USDC is returned automatically.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Limit Order">
    A limit order lets you set a target price and wait for the market to reach it.

    <Warning>
      **Limit orders are temporarily paused.** The Limit tab is visible in the UI but the feature is currently disabled. It will return once a fix is deployed.
    </Warning>

    When the feature returns, the flow will work as follows:

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Choose a market">
        Pick an outcome and click Yes or No.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select Limit order type">
        In the order panel, switch to **Limit**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set your price">
        Enter the price (in cents) at which you want to buy. For example, if the current YES price is \$0.37, you might set a limit at \$0.33 to buy cheaper if the price drops.

        <Info>
          Only limit buys are supported. There are no limit sells.
        </Info>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Enter your amount">
        Enter the USDC amount you want to spend at your limit price.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm and sign">
        Your order appears in the **Open Orders** tab of your Profile. It stays on the book until matched or until you cancel it.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    You can cancel a limit order at any time before it is matched.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Trading on Degen

Degen markets work like Browse markets but with a different format.

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

  <Step title="Pick a time window">
    Filter by **5m** (5-minute) or **15m** (15-minute) windows. You can also filter by token using the icons at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Up or Down">
    Each card shows a token, a "Price to beat" (reference price), and the current price. Click **Up** if you think the price will be above the reference at the end of the window, or **Down** if you think it will be below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter amount and confirm">
    Enter your USDC amount and sign the transaction. The process is the same as a regular market order.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Degen markets resolve automatically when the time window ends. If your prediction is correct, your contracts are worth \$1 USDC each.

## 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 all your active positions with:

    * Current value and mark price
    * Average price you paid
    * PNL (toggle to include or exclude fees)
    * Payout if your prediction is correct
    * Estimated settlement time
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Open Orders">
    The **Open Orders** tab shows any limit orders that haven't been matched yet.
  </Step>

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

## Closing a Position Early

You can exit a position before the market settles.

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

  <Step title="Click Close">
    Click **Close** on the position row to exit that single position, or **Close All** to exit every position at once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and sign">
    Your contracts are sold at the current market bid price. USDC is returned to your wallet after fees.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Sells execute at the bid price, not the mid-price. There is always a spread between what you pay to buy and what you receive when you sell. Closing and immediately re-opening a position has a cost, even if the price hasn't moved.

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

## Claiming Winnings

After a market settles in your favour, you can claim your payout.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Wait for settlement">
    The upstream provider (Kalshi or Polymarket) resolves the market first. Jupiter then records the result on-chain, typically within a few minutes. Your position shows as claimable in the Profile once this is done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Claim your payout">
    Go to your Profile, find the settled position, and click claim. Each winning contract pays \$1 USDC. No fees are charged.

    <Info>
      If you don't claim within 24 hours of the position becoming claimable, Jupiter automatically claims on your behalf. You don't lose your payout if you forget to claim.
    </Info>
  </Step>
</Steps>

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

<Info>
  A market that has already resolved on the upstream provider may temporarily show as pending on Jupiter. This is expected during the short window between upstream resolution and on-chain recording.
