FAQ

What is a Market Buy order?

A Market Buy order purchases shares at the current market price.

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, tap Open Orders. Unfilled orders will be shown 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 displayed price when you placed the order.

Why can a market order fail?

Market orders can fail when the event has low liquidity, high slippage, or fast price changes on Polymarket.

If your buy market order fails multiple times, try these:

● Use a Limit order instead.

● Increase your order price based on market conditions.

● Try again later when liquidity is better.

For sell orders, ELLIPAL currently only supports full market sell. If the sell order fails multiple times, please try again later or use Polymarket directly.
