Market Search Guide

Discover and trade markets directly from Telegram using PolyBot’s Market Search. Browse by Volume, Trending, New, or Category, or type keywords to find specific markets. Every result includes deep‑links to trade in‑bot or view on Polymarket.

  • Main Menu → 🔎 Search Markets
  • You’ll see a root screen with four modes:
    • 📊 Volume
    • 🗂️ Category
    • 🔥 Trending
    • ✨ New

Use on-screen buttons to switch modes. Pagination controls and a back/home row appear on every list.

Modes​

Volume (Top N)​

Shows the most active markets by 24h volume. Great for quickly finding liquid opportunities.

Highlights markets with rising activity.

New (Top N)​

Surfaces newly active markets created recently.

Category​

  • First pick a parent category, then a subcategory.
  • Lists the most active markets in that category (by liquidity).
  • Category rows include an emoji for fast recognition.

From the Search root, simply type your query in chat (e.g., "bitcoin etf", "election polls"). PolyBot returns a paginated list with the same layout and controls as the curated modes.

What Each Result Shows​

For each market item, PolyBot renders:

  • Title
  • Market Stats
    • Volume (24h): compact dollars
    • Liquidity: precise dollars
  • Current Prices (when available)
    • YES and/or NO shown in cents (¢)
  • Timeline
    • Expires: human‑readable date
  • Actions
    • [ Trade ] deep-links back into the bot to open the market screen
    • [ View on Polymarket ] opens the market’s web page

Note: Price display prefers last trade when available; else a sane mid between bid/ask; else a cached price.

Controls​

  • Pagination: ⬅️ Prev and Next ➡️
  • Back: returns to the previous menu (root or category selection)
  • 🏠 Main Menu: returns to Home
  • Trade: opens https://t.me/<your_bot>?start=m_<slug> to launch the in‑bot market view with Buy/Limit buttons.
  • View: opens the Polymarket web page for more details.

You can share these deep‑links with friends or trigger them from outside the Search screen.

Tips​

  • Use Category to narrow down to specific verticals (e.g., Politics, Crypto, Sports).
  • Try free‑text search for news‑driven opportunities (“debate”, “ETF”, “earnings”).
  • Volume lists are useful for quick routing to liquid markets; Trending and New help discover momentum and recency.
  • Each list shows Top N results and paginates according to your page size; use Next ➡️ to see more.

Troubleshooting​

  • “No obvious results”: Try a broader term, different spelling, or browse by Category.
  • “List didn’t change”: Data may be unchanged since the last refresh; check other modes or try again later.
  • “Trade link didn’t open the right screen”: Ensure the bot is started (/start), then retry the deep‑link.
