πŸ“ˆMarkets View

The Markets View is the primary interface of PredicTools.

It provides a unified, real time overview of active prediction markets across supported platforms. The purpose of this view is to give users immediate visibility into what is happening, where attention is concentrated, and which markets are worth further inspection.

The design prioritizes density, clarity, and speed.


Unified Market Listing

All supported prediction markets are displayed in a single, structured list.

Each row represents one market and is formatted consistently, regardless of the source platform. This allows users to compare markets quickly without adapting to different layouts or conventions.

The Markets View eliminates the need to browse platforms individually and reduces friction when scanning large numbers of markets.


Market Information Displayed

Each market entry includes a standardized set of data points, such as:

  • Market question or title

  • Source platform

  • Current probability or outcome pricing

  • Total volume and recent volume changes

  • Time remaining until resolution

  • Market status (active, nearing resolution, resolved)

These fields are chosen to reflect the information most relevant for evaluation, without unnecessary detail.


Real Time Updates

Market data in the Markets View updates continuously.

Changes in probability, volume, or market status are reflected as they occur. This allows users to monitor evolving conditions without refreshing or switching pages.

PredicTools does not smooth, delay, or reinterpret updates. All changes reflect the underlying platforms directly.


Visual Hierarchy and Readability

The Markets View uses a terminal-style layout with a clear visual hierarchy.

Important information is easy to scan:

  • primary data is emphasized

  • secondary data is visually de-emphasized

  • inactive or low-signal markets are not visually distracting

This design allows users to process large amounts of information efficiently.


Cross Platform Comparison

By displaying markets from multiple platforms side by side, PredicTools enables direct comparison.

Users can:

  • identify similar or overlapping market questions

  • observe differences in pricing or volume

  • spot discrepancies that may warrant further attention

This cross-platform visibility is a key advantage of using a unified terminal.


Interaction and Navigation

The Markets View is designed for rapid interaction.

Users can:

  • scroll through large market lists smoothly

  • apply and remove filters without reloading

  • focus on subsets of markets based on strategy

Navigation is intentionally minimal to keep attention on market data.


Designed for Continuous Monitoring

The Markets View is not only for moments of execution.

Many users keep it open throughout the day to:

  • observe shifts in attention

  • track probability changes over time

  • stay aware of new or emerging questions

This supports a more informed and less reactive approach to decision-making.


Design Philosophy

The Markets View reflects the core philosophy of PredicTools.

It avoids:

  • notifications designed to provoke urgency

  • subjective labels or recommendations

  • visual clutter or gamification

Instead, it provides a calm, structured environment where users can think clearly.
