Managing Positions
View, close, and track your positions and PnL
Viewing Your Positions
After you buy shares in a prediction market, that holding becomes an open position. All your active positions are visible in the Portfolio dashboard under the Active Positions tab.
Each position displays the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Market | The prediction market name with source badge |
| Side | Whether you hold YES or NO shares |
| Shares | Number of shares you own |
| Entry Price | Your average purchase price per share |
| Current Price | The latest market price |
| Current Value | Shares multiplied by the current price |
| Unrealized PnL | Your profit or loss if you closed now |
| Time Held | How long you have held the position |
Unrealized PnL is color-coded: green for profit and red for loss. The value updates in real time as market prices change via WebSocket feeds.
Closing Positions Early
You do not have to wait for a market to resolve. You can sell your shares at any time to lock in profit or cut losses.
Navigate to your position
Open the Portfolio page and find the position you want to close under Active Positions.
Choose to close
Click the Close action on the position row, or navigate to the market detail page and use the Sell panel.
Select amount
Choose to close the full position or enter a specific number of shares for a partial close.
Confirm the trade
Review the estimated payout and confirm. Your sell order is routed to the underlying exchange.
Partial Closes
You can sell a portion of your shares while keeping the rest. For example, if you hold 500 YES shares and want to lock in some profit, you can sell 200 shares and continue holding the remaining 300. The position row will update to reflect your reduced share count and recalculated PnL.
PnL Tracking
Vezta tracks both unrealized and realized PnL:
- Unrealized PnL -- the theoretical profit or loss on your open positions based on current market prices. This changes in real time.
- Realized PnL -- profit or loss from positions you have closed (either by selling early or through market resolution). This is locked in and does not change.
PnL Over Time
The Portfolio page includes a PnL chart that visualizes your performance over selectable timeframes: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and all time. A PnL calendar view shows your daily performance color-coded by profit (green) or loss (red) for each day of the month.
Merge and Split
If you have multiple positions on the same market and same side (for example, from several separate purchases), you can merge them into a single position. The merged position uses a weighted average entry price across all the individual buys.
Conversely, you can split a single position into two separate ones. This can be useful if you want to set different exit strategies for portions of your holding.
Merge and split operations do not involve any trades on the exchange. They are purely organizational tools to help you manage your portfolio.
Share Cards
