How to Place a Market Buy Order in Predict?
Place a market buy order in ELLIPAL Predict with Titan 2.0 or X Card — enter a USD value, sign the transaction, and check your position in My Positions.
A market buy order in ELLIPAL Predict purchases shares at the current market price, which makes it easier to fill than a limit order. Enter a USD value, sign the transaction with your Titan 2.0 or X Card, and your new position appears in My Positions once the order is placed.

FAQ
What is a market buy order in ELLIPAL Predict?
A market buy order purchases shares at the current market price. Unlike a limit order, it does not let you set a specific price — the order fills immediately at whatever the market price is at the time.
Why can't I see my position after placing the order?
The order may still be processing. If you do not see it in My Positions, pull down to refresh. If it still does not appear, tap Open Orders — unfilled orders will be listed there.
Why did my final price change slightly?
Market orders are executed at the live market price, so the final filled price may differ slightly from the price displayed when you placed the order.
Why did my market order fail?
Market orders can fail when the event has low liquidity, high slippage, or fast price changes. If your buy market order fails multiple times, try switching to a Limit order, adjusting your price based on market conditions, or trying again when liquidity improves. For sell orders, ELLIPAL currently supports full market sell only — if the sell order fails repeatedly, try again later or use Polymarket directly.
