Trading Basics

ForeGate's prediction market offers two core trading types: price prediction and event prediction. Understanding the mechanisms of both modes is crucial for mastering trade timing and managing risks.

The platform provides three structured trading markets for users to conduct professional operations based on their needs.

On our platform's homepage, you can select from the three major markets according to your requirements. If you wish to engage in traditional trading with precise pricing, use the order book mode in the FG Market. If you want to support creators and participate in trending event predictions, enter the Creator Market, which combines automated market maker (AMM) and parimutuel mechanisms. Apart from these options, if you simply want to place bets on price movements, choose the Price Market, which focuses on parimutuel predictions for financial price changes. Each market is clearly labeled with real-time data to help you quickly start trading or predicting.
