Trading on Hexio
You're not buying crypto. You're buying shares in a prediction. Will BTC be higher or lower when the round ends? That's the whole game.
The mechanics
Each market is a timed round tied to a crypto asset. At the start of the round, a Beat Price is recorded — that's the asset's price right then. When the clock runs out:
- Price finished above the Beat Price → UP wins. UP shares redeem at $1.00. DOWN shares expire at $0.
- Price finished below the Beat Price → DOWN wins. DOWN shares redeem at $1.00. UP shares expire at $0.
Share prices move between $0.01 and $0.99. A share at $0.60 means the market prices that outcome at 60% likely. If you think it's actually 80%, that share is underpriced — that's your trade.
The flow
Select
Choose your asset and interval. 7 assets × 4 intervals = 28 live markets.
Predict
UP or DOWN. That's the binary.
Size & submit
Enter shares, pick order type (Market / Limit / Auto), hit the button.
Wait
Your order routes to the Polymarket CLOB. It fills against existing liquidity.
Resolve
Round ends. Winners redeem at $1.00. Or sell early to lock in a profit.
BUY vs SELL
BUY to enter a position. SELL to exit before the round resolves. Selling lets you lock in profit (or cut loss) without waiting for the timer. You don't have to hold until resolution — the order book is always open.
The Beat Price
The reference price at round start. It's what determines UP vs DOWN. Toggle the Beat Price overlay on the chart to see it as a horizontal line — useful for reading whether you're currently in winning territory.
