TradingView for prediction markets

Why prediction markets need TradingView-style tooling

A prediction-market contract is a price that moves. A Polymarket YES share trades between 0 and 1 dollar, and that number reacts to news, order flow, and time the same way any tradable instrument does. Traders who came from futures, options, or crypto already think in candles, support and resistance, momentum, and volume — and they want to apply that lens to election odds, sports lines, and event probabilities.

The native Polymarket interface shows a simple probability line. That is fine for a quick glance, but it does not give you multi-timeframe analysis, a proper indicator stack, orderflow, or any way to test an idea against history. Serious traders need the same professional tooling they get on TradingView — just pointed at prediction-market data.

• Candles and timeframes instead of a single smoothed probability line
• An indicator stack: trend, momentum, volatility, and volume tools
• Orderflow to see where buyers and sellers actually transact
• A way to backtest a thesis before risking capital

Why TradingView does not fully solve prediction-market charting

TradingView is excellent, but it charts the instruments its data partners provide: stocks, futures, forex, and crypto. Polymarket and Kalshi markets are not in that catalog, so you cannot type a market ticker into TradingView and get a candlestick chart of a YES/NO probability. There is no clean way to stream individual prediction-market trades into it either.

Prediction markets are also structurally different. Prices are bounded between 0 and 1, contracts resolve to a fixed outcome, multi-outcome events split probability across several legs, and liquidity is thinner and more event-driven than a major equity. A generic charting platform is not built around those quirks. TruthTickTerminal is built around them from the ground up, which is why the orderflow, the tick candles, and the indicators behave correctly on prediction-market flow.

• TradingView does not list Polymarket or Kalshi markets
• Prices are bounded 0 to 1 and resolve to a fixed outcome
• Multi-outcome events split probability across several legs
• Liquidity is event-driven, not continuous like a large-cap stock

Polymarket and Kalshi market structure basics

Polymarket is a crypto-settled prediction market where each contract is a share that pays 1 dollar if its outcome resolves true and 0 if it resolves false. A binary market has a YES and a NO side; a multi-outcome market — an election with several candidates, a tournament with many teams — has one leg per outcome, and the legs roughly sum to 1. The current price reads directly as an implied probability. TruthTickTerminal charts any Polymarket market today, binary or multi-outcome, and lets you flip between the YES and NO side with one click.

Kalshi is a US-regulated, CFTC-overseen event exchange with a similar yes/no contract structure but a different venue and rule set. Kalshi support in TruthTickTerminal is planned and on the roadmap — it is not live yet. When the brief says Kalshi, read it as coming soon, not available. Everything described on this page that is live today runs on Polymarket data.

• Polymarket: live now — binary YES/NO and multi-outcome markets
• Kalshi: planned, on the roadmap, not live yet
• Contract price reads directly as an implied probability
• Flip YES/NO side on any Polymarket chart with one click

How TruthTickTerminal brings trader workflows to prediction markets

The terminal mirrors the muscle memory of a TradingView user. You open a market, get a real-time candlestick chart, and start applying analysis. Time candles run from 1 minute up to daily, so you can zoom from intraday noise out to the full life of a market. Because prediction-market activity is bursty, the terminal also offers tick candles — 1T, 5T, 10T, 25T, 50T, and 100T — where each bar closes after a fixed number of executed trades rather than a fixed number of minutes. That keeps each candle meaningful even when a market goes quiet for an hour and then erupts on a headline. Live trades fold into the forming candle in real time.

A continuous background collector ingests trades across more than 20,000 markets, so when you open a market the historical candles are already built and waiting — you are not staring at an empty chart while data backfills. TruthTickTerminal is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Polymarket; it is a research and analysis layer. Execution still happens on Polymarket itself, and automated trade execution is on the roadmap, not a current feature.

• Time candles from 1m to daily
• Tick candles: 1T, 5T, 10T, 25T, 50T, 100T — each bar is N trades, not N minutes
• Live trades fold into the forming candle in real time
• Historical candles ready on open via a 20,000+ market collector

Candles, indicators, orderflow, and backtesting

The indicator stack is what makes this feel like a real trading terminal rather than a chart viewer. Built-in indicators include EMA, SMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, VWAP with standard-deviation bands, high-volume-node (HVN) zones, Volume Profile with a histogram and a point-of-control line, naked swing levels, and cumulative delta. If a tool you want is missing, you can write your own custom indicator in JavaScript and it runs live on the chart.

Orderflow and footprint charts show per-price-level buy versus sell volume in real cells — built specifically for prediction-market trade flow, and live, not a mock. That lets you see where aggressive buyers and sellers are actually transacting around a probability level. The Pro tier ($19.99/month) adds the strategy lab: write backtest logic in TypeScript and run it against historical Polymarket trade data, then turn that strategy loose on a scanner that runs it across more than 20,000 markets and ranks the universe by net P&L. The backtester, the scanner, custom indicators, and the Resolved-markets tab are the Pro features; charts, indicators, and live trades are free. None of this guarantees profit — it is tooling to research and test ideas, not a promise of alpha.

• Indicators: EMA, SMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, VWAP ± σ, HVN zones, Volume Profile + POC, naked swing levels, cumulative delta
• Custom indicators written in JavaScript, running live on the chart
• Real-time orderflow / footprint charts with per-level buy vs sell cells
• Pro ($19.99/mo): TypeScript backtester, 20,000+ market scanner ranked by net P&L, Resolved-markets tab

Why it matters

Prediction markets are turning into a serious place to express a view on events, and the people trading them increasingly come from a market background where professional charting is table stakes. Reading event odds off a flat probability line, with no orderflow and no way to test an idea, leaves real edge on the table. The trader who can see momentum roll over on the RSI, watch sellers stack at a price level in the footprint, and confirm a setup against thousands of historical markets is operating on a different level than the one eyeballing a sparkline.

TruthTickTerminal matters because it gives prediction-market traders that professional layer without asking them to learn a new mental model. It is the TradingView-style workflow — candles, indicators, multi-timeframe, orderflow, backtesting — pointed at Polymarket today and Kalshi on the roadmap. It will not hand anyone guaranteed returns, but it removes the excuse that the right tools simply do not exist for this asset class.
