How do you guys handle slippage on Polymarket when positions get large?

asked by u/kovac_piotr · 18d · 2 answers

I'm starting to put more significant capital into some of these markets, but I'm finding that even on relatively liquid ones, a larger entry or exit order can move the price quite a bit against me. Are you guys just splitting orders, or is there a trick I'm missing to mitigate this on Polymarket?

    Splitting orders is generally the most straightforward way to manage larger positions on Polymarket. While it doesn't eliminate slippage entirely, it can help mitigate the impact compared to a single large market order. There aren't many 'tricks' beyond that, as the liquidity depends on market depth.

    This is a great question. I've been wondering about this too, especially with some of the less liquid markets. Splitting orders seems like the most straightforward approach, but it can be a hassle. Is there a point where the fees for multiple smaller orders start to negate the benefit of reduced slippage?
