Cashing out early

You don't have to wait for a market to be resolved. Until the market's cut-off time you can usually sell your position back at the current price.

How it works

1. Open the market and find your position.
2. Choose to cash out. You will see how much you will receive, including any fee, before you confirm.
3. Confirm, and the amount goes straight to your balance.

Why cash out?

• Lock in a profit. If you bought at 0.40 and the price is now 0.75, you can take the gain without waiting.
• Limit a loss. If the price has fallen, cashing out returns part of your money instead of risking all of it.

Things to know

• The cash-out price can be lower than the price shown elsewhere on the market, especially when few people are trading.
• After the cut-off time, trading stops and you can no longer cash out. Your position stays open until the market is resolved.
• Once confirmed, a cash-out can't be undone.
