# Browsing markets

The Browse tab is where you scan for opportunities. Every market on Polymarket with active trading is displayed as a card in a responsive grid. Here's what every element means and how to interact with it.

## Anatomy of a market card

Each card packs a lot of information into a compact format:

### Header section

| Element           | Description                                                                                                                                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Market icon**   | Category-specific icon (politics, crypto, sports, etc.)                                                                                           |
| **Question text** | The market question, truncated to 2 lines. Full text visible in the detail panel.                                                                 |
| **AI Pick badge** | Appears at the top center when the AI has a signal. **Emerald** = bullish (AI favors YES), **Rose** = bearish (AI favors NO), **Gray** = neutral. |
| **Asset tag**     | If the market references a specific asset (e.g., "BTC", "ETH"), shown as a small badge.                                                           |
| **Timeframe tag** | If the market has a known timeframe category.                                                                                                     |

### Stats section

| Element             | Description                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Category badges** | One or more category labels (Politics, Crypto, Sports, etc.)                                                                                               |
| **Trending tag**    | Orange "Trending" or "Hot" badge if the market has above-average volume spikes.                                                                            |
| **Volume**          | Total lifetime USDC traded in this market. Higher = more liquid, better price discovery.                                                                   |
| **24h Volume**      | USDC traded in the last 24 hours. Shows how active the market is right now.                                                                                |
| **Countdown**       | Time until resolution. Color-coded: **Red** = less than 1 hour, **Amber** = less than 24 hours, **Gray** = more than 24 hours. Ended markets show "Ended". |

### Price section

| Element              | Description                                                                                                                                        |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Probability bars** | Two horizontal bars showing YES and NO percentages. Green for YES, red for NO. The wider the bar, the higher the probability.                      |
| **Outcome buttons**  | Two buttons — **YES** (green tint) and **NO** (red tint) — each showing the current price in cents. Clicking either opens the inline trading flow. |
| **Bookmark icon**    | Click to add/remove from your [Watchlist](/trading/watchlist). Filled = watched, outlined = not watched.                                           |

### Card styling

The card's left border color indicates the AI's stance:

* **Green border** — AI favors YES (bullish)
* **Red border** — AI favors NO (bearish)
* **No special border** — No AI signal or neutral

On hover, the card lifts slightly with a shadow. During active trading (when you've clicked an outcome button), the card gets an amber border with a pulse animation.

## Inline trading flow

You can trade directly from any market card without opening the detail panel:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click an outcome button">
    Click **YES** or **NO** on any card. The button highlights and an amount picker slides in below the card. Only one card can be in trading mode at a time — clicking another card closes the current one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your amount">
    Quick presets: **`$1,` `$5,` `$10,` `$25,` `$50,` `$100`**. Or type a custom amount. The interface instantly shows:

    * Number of shares you'll receive
    * Average price per share
    * Potential return if you're right (`$1` per share)
    * Potential profit (return minus cost)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the trade">
    A confirmation panel slides in showing the full trade summary. Click **Confirm** to execute. The trade hits Polymarket's CLOB as a FAK (Fill-And-Kill) order.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Position created">
    Your position appears immediately in the Portfolio tab via optimistic updates — you don't need to wait for the blockchain to confirm. The optimistic entry auto-cleans when the real position data arrives from Polymarket's API.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Grid modes

Toggle between two views using the switch in the category sidebar:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Normal View (Grid)">
    Flat grid layout. Every market is its own card. 1 column on mobile, 2 on tablet, 3 on desktop. Best for scanning broadly and spotting new opportunities. This is the default.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Stacked View (Events)">
    Markets grouped by parent event using `event_id`. Multi-market events (e.g., "2024 Election" with 10+ sub-markets) collapse into a single **EventStackCard** showing the event title and count of sub-markets. Click to expand into an accordion of sub-markets. Single-market events render as normal cards.

    Uses the same virtualization as normal view — handles thousands of events efficiently. See [Stacked View](/markets/stacked-view) for full details.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Pagination

Markets load in pages of 50 using infinite scroll. As you scroll within 3 rows of the bottom, the next page loads automatically. The total market count is shown and updates as filters change. There is no "Load More" button — it's seamless.

<Tip>
  The most efficient workflow: filter by category, sort by volume or trending, scan the AI Pick badges for markets where the AI has a strong signal, and open the detail panel on anything interesting. Don't trade from the card alone — always check the detail panel for orderbook depth, price chart, and War Room analysis before sizing up.
</Tip>
