​
When to Sell

If you bought shares at a lower price and the market has moved in your favor, selling locks in your profit without waiting for resolution.Example:
  • Bought 100 YES shares at $0.30 ($30 cost)
  • Current YES price: $0.70
  • Sell all 100 shares for ~$70
  • Profit: ~$40

​
Partial Sells

You don’t have to sell your entire position. Enter any quantity up to your total holdings:
  • Sell 50% to take some profit while keeping upside
  • Sell a specific dollar amount worth of shares
  • Reduce to a size you’re comfortable holding to resolution

​
Understanding Sell Prices

The price you receive when selling reflects current market conditions. A 0.25% fee applies only when the sell is matched across multiple venues.

​
Sell Limitations

Very large positions may be harder to sell at once. If you receive a poor quote on a large order, try selling in smaller chunks.
As markets approach their resolution date, liquidity may decrease as fewer traders want to take on short-term risk.
Sell quotes have a limited validity window. If you don’t confirm in time, request a new quote.
