Explore a new prediction market: Gate officially integrates with Polymarket

What is a Prediction Market?

A prediction market is a marketplace that allows investors to trade based on their judgments of future event outcomes. In these markets, users express their expectations for a particular event by purchasing “Yes” or “No” shares. After the event occurs, those with correct predictions receive corresponding rewards.

This form of trading not only involves traditional financial markets but also extends to sports events, political elections, social incidents, and more. The core of prediction markets lies in collective intelligence; market prices reflect the judgments of numerous participants about the probability of events happening, providing users with an alternative information-based investment method.

• Set Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Points: Due to significant price fluctuations, investors should set reasonable stop-loss and take-profit levels to lock in profits or prevent losses in time.
• Allocate Funds Reasonably: Control the amount invested in each trade, avoiding putting large sums into high-risk predictions.
