Settlement & PnL

Polymarket outcomes are binary: at resolution the winning side is worth $1 per share and the losing side $0. PolyEdge tracks both your unrealized PnL while a position is open and your realized PnL once it settles.

While a position is open

Unrealized PnL marks your position to the current market price:

unrealized = (currentPrice − entryPrice) × shares

You can see this live on each bot's Performance tab and on your Portfolio.

At resolution

When a market resolves, the bot reads the final outcome from Polymarket and settles each affected position:

• The winning outcome token pays $1.00; the losing one pays $0.00.
• Realized PnL is locked in as (payout − entryPrice) × shares.
• The trade is marked CLOSED with its exit price and settlement time.

To avoid acting on noisy mid-prices, settlement only triggers on a decisive outcome (a token trading at essentially 0 or 1). Markets that aren't resolved yet are re-checked on a short interval, and resolved outcomes are cached briefly to avoid redundant lookups.
