The Expert’s Guide to Discover Prediction Markets
This is where the real alpha is
It used to be if you were an expert polymarket trader, you would find markets on Polymarket by scanning the homepage and Trending/Top Markets to spot where liquidity is pooling. You could Search for a particular event or category (e.g., politics, crypto, macro) to narrow to domains where you had edge. Or you could sort by 24H volume, open interest, and recent price movement to gauge tradability, skim the order book for depth and spread tightness, and read the market rules/resolution source to avoid tail-risk ambiguity.
Today, Discovery for prediction markets has leveled up.
Stand, the advanced trading terminal for prediction market traders, is introducing two new tools to help traders find better trading opportunities: Discover & Pulse.
Discover - a market scanner that allows you to search, sort, filter, and trade with ease
Pulse - an opportunity highway, driving real-time markets across your three lane view
Both are powerful tools meant to save you time in a fast-evolving ecosystem. Let’s dig in.
Discover
Stand’s Discover is built for pros who search where liquidity is, how fast it’s moving, and when it resolves. Instead of wading through noise, you land on a ranked table that immediately exposes opportunity density: Spread, 24H Volume, Volume, Liquidity, 1D Rewards, Start Dates, and End Dates so you can calibrate risk appetite to the day’s tape before you touch a single market.
Every column is a signal. You can sort or filter these fields to surface exactly the kind of market you trade best: tight spreads for fast execution, rising 24H volume for momentum, high liquidity for sizing, short End dates for faster capital turns, or larger 1D Reward for maker-style strategies. Each column gives you control by sorting it to how you trade best.
The category filters give you a precision scanner, sorting across targeted tags like Crypto, Earnings, Elections, Fed, 15M, 1H, MrBeast, Tweets Markets, and so much more. Save them for repeat runs.
Best of all, you can execute trades right from Discovery. The Trade button is available on every row, so once your screen surfaces a target, you jump straight into the ticket—no context loss, no re-searching. Stand is built to save you minutes to get the best price possible.
Here’s an example of what you might do:
Sort by 24H Vol to find fresh flow.
Filter to your domain.
Re-sort by Spread and Liquidity to confirm execution quality.
Check 1D Reward to price maker yield.
Validate End vs your catalyst calendar.
Trade Instantly at the best price
Stand creates prediction market discovery into alpha generation because everything here is trade-first. Discover is your professional scanner. You use it to rank, filter, and time entries with the same discipline you bring to research and risk. The result is a faster path from idea to filled order, with fewer surprises between.
Pulse
Pulse on Stand gives you three signal lanes in one view—New, Trending, and Disputed—so you can decide what tape you want before you even touch a market. Instead of scrolling a single feed, you pick the route that matches your edge: fresh listings to front-run price discovery, momentum markets with thick books and clean exits, or contested markets where rule ambiguity creates mispricing.
But, we took it a step further: you are not limited to just New, Trending, and Disputed. Those are the defaults. You can view Proposed Markets in your lane or create a custom view that’s savable for future alpha. Set it to categories. Drill down on your filters. Sort accordingly. Stand gives you everything you need at your fingertips to find every possible trading opportunity.
On Pulse, the markets are set in cards. Each market card is a mini blotter: Yes/No price, Spread, 1D Reward, 24H/Total Volume, Liquidity, and Start/End are all visible. And again, Stand has made it dead simple to trade right there in the moment. You triage in seconds—tight spreads and high liquidity for sizing, hot 24H vs. total for fresh flow, near end dates for faster capital turns—and route straight from idea to trade execution without tab-hopping. Saved clicks are saved basis points.
Suppose you turned Pulse your repeatable morning playbook:
Choose lane (New/Trending/Disputed) to set regime.
Apply Category AND/OR logic to route to your domain.
Gate by Liquidity and Spread to ensure execution quality.
Overlay 24H/Total Volume for velocity vs. durability.
Add Price and 1D Reward to shape EV and carry.
Align End Date with catalysts.
Click Trade and size to book depth.
Bottom line: Pulse is your new discovery scanner. You don’t browse; you route. You can save your workflows into clean simple view lanes to save you time and money.
