Hunch lets you discover Limitless markets alongside other prediction-market venues and continue into a venue-specific trade ticket. The safe workflow is not simply “choose YES and buy.” You need to verify the contract, identify whether the selected Limitless market uses a CLOB or AMM path, check USDC on Base, inspect the executable review, and confirm the final order or transaction state.
Before you start
You need:
- a Hunch account with the relevant wallet or trading setup complete;
- a Limitless market available through Hunch;
- the correct Limitless destination balance;
- enough USDC on Base for the intended order and any required wallet operation;
- an amount you are prepared to lose completely.
If any venue, account, or approval status is unclear, stop at the review screen. A missed trade is cheaper than funding the wrong chain or submitting an order you do not understand.
1. Find a Limitless market
Start from Hunch Markets or Discovery. Use the venue control to isolate Limitless when you want a venue-specific workflow, or search by the event topic and inspect every result’s venue.
On a market row, do not treat the large probability as the whole quote. First note:
- market title and outcome;
- venue;
- expiry;
- volume and liquidity when available;
- YES and NO prices;
- whether the event has matched listings on another venue.
On mobile, the same Hunch product can be opened directly or inside the Telegram Mini App. Use a native mobile capture rather than shrinking the desktop screenshot.
2. Read the contract before the ticket
Open the event and read the market description or resolution rule. Verify:
- what exact condition makes the selected outcome win;
- the cutoff date and time;
- the resolution source or process;
- any cancellation, invalid, or exceptional-event treatment;
- whether a similar listing on another venue is genuinely equivalent.
The venue badge tells you where the trade executes. It does not prove that two listings with similar headlines settle under the same rule.
3. Identify CLOB versus AMM execution
A Limitless CLOB market uses an order book. The ticket can expose market and limit choices, current bid or ask context, and order status.
An AMM market trades against a pool. Its review emphasizes the current quote, expected output, price impact, slippage protection, and required approval state.
| Ticket signal | Likely CLOB meaning | Likely AMM meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Market / Limit selector | Choose immediate matching or a resting price | Not the primary AMM control |
| Limit price | Maximum buy or minimum sell price | Not applicable to pool execution |
| Order-book spread or depth | Resting liquidity available at price levels | Replaced by pool quote and price impact |
| Minimum shares or maximum shares | Can summarize execution protection | Core slippage-bound output |
| Approval state | Token/order readiness | Collateral or outcome-token allowance readiness |

Use the live Hunch ticket as the authority. Product support can differ by market and change over time.
4. Check the destination balance
The current Limitless documentation identifies USDC on Base as the trading collateral. In Hunch, check the venue balance shown for the selected ticket rather than the total value across every wallet and venue.
If funding is required:
- confirm USDC, not only a dollar-looking token name;
- confirm Base, not Ethereum mainnet or another layer 2;
- copy the destination address from the current product screen;
- send a small test amount when using a new route;
- wait for the destination balance to update before retrying the order.
Do not publish or reuse a deposit address from a screenshot. Addresses, routes, wallet types, and supported bridges can differ by account.
5. Choose buy or sell and YES or NO
For a buy, select the outcome that matches your thesis. For a sell, verify that the venue recognizes enough available shares after accounting for locked positions and open orders.
YES and NO are independent buttons, not positive and negative sentiment labels. Always reread the contract after changing sides.
Before entering an amount, decide a maximum loss. A low-priced share can still lose 100% of its purchase value.
6. Choose market or limit on a CLOB
Use a market order when immediate execution matters more than a specific price and the displayed depth is acceptable. The average execution can be worse than the best visible ask when the order consumes multiple levels.
Use a limit order when you will not trade beyond a selected price. If no matching seller or buyer accepts that price, the order can remain open. Funds or shares reserved for it may be unavailable elsewhere until cancellation or fill.
Ask these questions:
- What is the best executable price now?
- How much size is available there?
- What average price does Hunch estimate for my amount?
- Could the limit rest instead of filling?
- Where will I see and cancel an open order?
7. Review an AMM quote differently
For an AMM market, enter the intended spend or return and inspect:
- expected shares;
- minimum received or maximum spent after slippage protection;
- price impact;
- current fee;
- collateral or outcome-token approval;
- quote age or refresh state.
A slippage bound rejects or constrains a moved quote; it is not a forecast and does not remove smart-contract risk.
8. Compare matched venues without assuming arbitrage
When Hunch shows a similar Polymarket or another-venue listing, compare the executable route rather than the largest displayed probability difference.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Contract wording | Similar titles can settle differently |
| Resolution deadline | One venue can stop counting earlier |
| Best ask or bid | The last price may not be tradable now |
| Available size | The attractive price may cover little volume |
| Fees and spread | A nominally cheaper share can cost more net |
| Funding readiness | Moving collateral can add time and risk |

Choosing one venue for a trade is a comparison task. Buying multiple legs to lock a payout is an arbitrage task with additional matching and fill risks.
9. Read the final review
Before confirming, verify all of these on one screen:
- Limitless is the selected venue;
- the event and outcome are correct;
- buy versus sell is correct;
- market, limit, or AMM execution matches your intention;
- amount and funding asset are correct;
- average price or price bound is acceptable;
- estimated shares and payout representation make sense;
- fee, spread, slippage, and price impact are understood;
- the quote is still valid;
- the available venue balance covers the action.
Do not confirm if a field changed unexpectedly after funding or switching markets. Refresh the quote and review it again.
10. Verify the result
A submission is not the same thing as a fill.
For a CLOB order, check whether it is:
- filled;
- partially filled;
- open;
- cancelled;
- rejected or failed.
For an AMM action, distinguish submission from onchain confirmation. Then verify the resulting position and balance in Hunch Portfolio and, if necessary, through the venue or transaction record.
Troubleshooting
The ticket shows no Limitless balance
Confirm that USDC reached the correct wallet on Base and that the account is using the expected wallet mode.
A market order did not fill
The available CLOB liquidity may have disappeared or the immediate order may not have matched within its constraints. Refresh the book before deciding whether to retry or use a limit order.
A limit order is still open
That is normal when no counterparty accepts its price. Review open orders before submitting a duplicate.
The AMM quote changed
Refresh and reconsider the new expected output and price impact. Do not increase slippage merely to force a trade through.
The market needs approval
Read exactly which token, side, market, wallet, and spender the approval covers. Approval is an authorization, not a fee or guaranteed fill.
