Indicators for Polymarket markets

The core indicator suite

Every indicator runs on the market's real executed-trade history and updates as new trades print. There is nothing to configure to get started — open a market, add what you need, and it computes live on the chart.

• EMA & SMA — exponential and simple moving averages for trend and dynamic support/resistance
• RSI — relative strength for momentum and overbought/oversold reads
• MACD — moving-average convergence/divergence for trend and momentum shifts
• Bollinger Bands — volatility envelopes for mean-reversion and squeeze context
• VWAP ± σ — volume-weighted average price with standard-deviation bands

Tuned for prediction-market price

A Polymarket price is a probability that lives between 0 and 1, and it moves on real trades. That makes indicators genuinely useful: a moving average still defines trend, RSI still flags stretched moves, and Bollinger Bands still mark when a market has run too far from its mean.

Because the terminal supports tick candles as well as time candles, your indicators can be computed over trade-based bars too — so momentum and volatility reads stay meaningful even when a market sits quiet for hours and then trades explosively around a headline.

VWAP as a fair-value anchor

VWAP — volume-weighted average price — answers a question prediction-market traders care about: where did the volume actually change hands? With standard-deviation bands around it, VWAP becomes a reference for whether a market is rich or cheap relative to where the crowd really traded, not just where it last ticked.

Write your own indicator

When the built-ins don't cover your method, you can write a custom indicator in JavaScript and it runs live against the chart's data, right alongside the defaults. That means your edge isn't capped by a preset list — if you can express it in code, you can plot it on a Polymarket market.

From there, an indicator-based idea can go straight into the strategy lab to be backtested on real history and scanned across thousands of markets.
