Why You Need a Professional Terminal
Polymarket's native interface is designed for casual users. If you're trading seriously — especially on fast-resolving crypto markets like 5-minute (5M), 15-minute or 1-hour — you need professional tools that give you an edge:
- Speed — Real-time WebSocket data means you see price changes before they hit the standard interface.
- Depth — Full orderbook visibility lets you see exactly where liquidity sits and plan your entries.
- Execution — Custodial wallets eliminate blockchain confirmation delays — your orders execute instantly.
- Analytics — Historical charts, spread analysis, and market insights help you make informed decisions.
Core Features
Live Orderbook
Real-time bid/ask data streamed via WebSocket. See every order, every price level, every change as it happens.
Instant Execution
Custodial wallets mean no MetaMask popups, no confirmation waits. Click and trade.
Historical Charts
Price history stored in TimescaleDB for comprehensive analysis. Zoom in on any timeframe.

Position Management
Track all your open positions, pending orders, and trade history in one unified dashboard.
Spread Analysis
Automatic detection of arbitrage opportunities when YES + NO prices don't sum to $1.00.
Real-Time Orderbook
The orderbook is the central component of the trading terminal. It shows every pending buy and sell order in the market, updated in real-time:
- Bid side (green) — All buy orders sorted by price. The highest bid is the best price someone is willing to pay.
- Ask side (red) — All sell orders sorted by price. The lowest ask is the cheapest price someone is willing to sell at.
- Spread indicator — The gap between best bid and best ask — tighter spreads mean more efficient markets.
- Depth visualisation — See cumulative volume at each price level to understand where large orders are stacked.
Custodial Wallets
One of Polyblock's biggest advantages is the custodial wallet system. Instead of connecting MetaMask and signing every transaction, Polyblock manages a dedicated wallet for you:
- 1No Web3 setup required
Sign up with your email. We create and manage your trading wallet automatically.
- 2Instant execution
Orders are signed and submitted server-side — no wallet popups, no gas estimation, no confirmation delays.
- 3Low fees
Polyblock charges a small per-trade fee. See the platform for current pricing.
- 4Secure by design
Private keys are encrypted and stored securely. Only your authenticated session can trigger trades.
Order Management
Market Orders
Execute immediately at the best available price. The terminal shows you the estimated fill price and slippage before you confirm.
Limit Orders
Set your exact entry price. The order sits in the orderbook until the market reaches your price or you cancel it. Perfect for getting precise entries on volatile markets.
Position Tracking
The terminal shows all your open positions with real-time PnL, average entry price, and current market value. You can close positions with one click.
Market Analytics
Beyond the orderbook, Polyblock provides analytics tools to help you make better trading decisions:
- Price history charts — Historical price data with customisable timeframes stored in TimescaleDB.
- Volume analysis — Track trading volume across markets to identify where the action is.
- AI market insights — AI-generated analysis of current market conditions and potential opportunities.
- Trader leaderboard — See how top traders are performing and what markets they're active in.
