A lens is a saved set of screener filters — 22 of them live in this library today. Each one below says what it shows, why that slice of the market is interesting — and, honestly, what it doesn't catch. Open a lens in the dashboard, and if it fits how you trade, save it to your own list there (saved lenses can drive Telegram alerts). New lenses are added to this library over time.
Markets with ≥ $50k volume, ≥ $10k liquidity and a spread of 3¢ or less.
The safest place to learn the screener: prices here mean something, and you can enter/exit without moving the book.
⚠ Popular markets are also the most efficiently priced — easy to trade, hard to out-think.
Only markets whose resolution rules score 'clean' — objective anchors, no discretionary language.
For a beginner the biggest hidden loss isn't price — it's a market that resolves against the obvious reading of its own question.
⚠ The risk score reads rule text, not the real world: a 'clean' rule can still hit a messy real-world edge case.

Politics markets with ≥ $100k total volume — the marquee questions everyone is trading.
The most-requested slice of Polymarket and the natural first lens: familiar questions, deep books, plenty of coverage to research against.
⚠ These are the most efficiently priced markets on the platform — you're trading against the sharpest money, so expect the price to already know what you know.
Markets priced 40–60¢ with 7 days or less until resolution.
Genuine uncertainty right before the answer arrives — this is where doing your own research can still beat the crowd's price.
⚠ Near 50/50 close to the deadline often means the market genuinely doesn't know — being early ≠ being right.

Markets created in the last 14 days that already hold ≥ $20k liquidity, youngest first.
Brand-new markets are priced by the first handful of traders — inefficiencies live here before the crowd shows up.
⚠ Thin history: no 7-day chart to lean on, and early liquidity can vanish as fast as it arrived.

Markets priced 90–97¢ with clean rules, spread ≤ 2¢, ≥ $10k liquidity, resolving within 30 days — soonest payout first.
The classic 'parking yield' hunt: a 95¢ market that resolves Yes in two weeks returns ~5% in that window. Polymarket has no way to screen for high-probability + closing-soon + rule-safe at once.
⚠ Payoffs are asymmetric: one 95¢ loser erases nineteen winners. The rare blow-ups happen exactly in 'obvious' markets — and your capital is locked until resolution.

Sports markets with ≥ $25k volume that end within 48 hours.
Sports is the fastest feedback loop on Polymarket — thesis to resolution in hours, and the deepest books on game day.
⚠ Live sports is an information race you're probably losing: data feeds beat streams by ~45–60s, and marketable orders carry a built-in 3-second delay. Enter before the game, not during it.

The 'Clock tension' score (near 50%, deadline closing in) filtered to markets with ≥ $50k volume.
When serious money has traded a market to a coin-flip right before the deadline, the crowd genuinely can't call it — unlike 'Coin-flips closing this week', the volume floor guarantees the 50% is earned, not just untraded.
⚠ Heavy two-sided flow near 50/50 often means both camps hold real information — the price is a stalemate, not an oversight.

Markets scoring high on 'Tradable' (tight spread, real depth) that resolve within 14 days.
Books usually thin out as resolution nears — the last-two-weeks markets that STILL quote tight are the ones where you can enter late and, crucially, exit if the story turns.
⚠ A tight book today is not a promise for tomorrow: depth can evaporate the morning of a resolution headline.
Every market whose question mentions 'rate cut', soonest-resolving first — the Fed board in one view. (A keyword lens: it searches question text, not tags.)
Macro markets are scattered across tags and event pages; a text-match lens pulls the whole rate-cut complex — meeting-by-meeting, year-end counts, emergency-cut hedges — into one deadline-ordered list.
⚠ Keyword lenses inherit the sloppiness of question wording: a market phrased 'Fed funds below 4% by December' won't appear because it never says 'rate cut'.
Markets trading well above their own weekly pace ('Heating up' preset) that also have ≥ $25k volume.
A volume spike on a market with real depth usually means news — the volume floor filters out one-whale noise.
⚠ You see the spike after it started; the first move is usually already in the price.

High open interest relative to total volume ('Held, not churned' preset) with ≥ $25k volume.
Money that enters and stays is conviction, not day-trading churn — a read on where positioned traders actually sit.
⚠ Conviction can be wrong at scale; crowded positioning also means crowded exits if news flips.

Markets where comment chatter outpaces traded volume ('Loud & cheap' preset: 50+ comments, high comments-per-$1k ratio).
Attention usually arrives before capital. A market everyone is arguing about but few have priced is where the next repricing starts — a ratio Polymarket shows the ingredients for but never screens by.
⚠ Chatter is not information: most loud markets just stay loud. And comment counts are trivially farmed — treat buzz as a where-to-look signal, never a what-to-buy signal.

Markets doing over 5% of their LIFETIME volume in the last 24h ('Waking up' preset), with ≥ $5k total volume.
Different metric from 'Heating up': that one compares today to a market's own weekly pace, this one catches dormant, older markets suddenly alive — the classic signature of news landing on a forgotten question.
⚠ One whale repositioning produces the same spike as real news — check WHO moved it (whale flow on the row) before believing the wake-up.

The biggest absolute price swings over 7 days ('Moving now' preset) with ≥ $25k volume, largest move first.
The classic screener opener — where did the crowd change its mind hardest this week. Third momentum angle in the library: 'Heating up' is volume vs own pace, 'Sleepers' is lifetime share, this is the PRICE itself.
⚠ A big weekly move has already happened — the question is never 'what moved' but 'is the move finished', and this lens can't answer that for you.

Markets with under $25k liquidity whose price still moved over 2¢ this week ('Thin & moving' preset), biggest movers first.
News hits thin books first — nobody is quoting size, so one informed trader visibly moves the price. This is where stories surface before the deep, efficient markets react.
⚠ You mostly can't act on it: the spread eats small edges, size is impossible, and thin books are the easiest to paint. Use it as a watchlist feeder, not an entry list.

Markets under 5 days old that already hold > $10k liquidity ('Young & liquid' preset) AND score 'clean' on resolution rules.
The first-mover edge on new markets usually dies on rule ambiguity — this keeps only the newborns where the rules are already safe to trade, so your research goes into the question, not the fine print.
⚠ Clean rules don't fix thin history: five days of price action is noise, and early prices are set by a handful of traders.

Markets where a result has been proposed or is actively disputed in UMA ('UMA watch' preset).
Prices can jump discontinuously on the ruling — worth watching whether you hold a position or hunt volatility.
⚠ Dispute outcomes are legal-process bets, not market bets; timelines slip and rulings surprise.

Markets flagged high resolution-risk that still hold ≥ $100k volume.
Where lots of money meets ambiguous rules, the eventual resolution drama is priced by whoever read the rules most carefully.
⚠ This is the expert table. The edge is in rule-reading, not price-watching — expect to do real homework.

Markets priced 15–35¢ with ≥ $25k volume and a spread of 3¢ or less — real chances, 3–6× payoffs.
The untouched middle band: below sit lottery tickets, above sit coin-flips. Here the market says 'unlikely but genuinely possible' — the zone where independent research most often disagrees with the crowd profitably.
⚠ Favourite-longshot bias weakens in this band but doesn't vanish: the crowd still slightly overpays for underdogs, so your thesis needs to clear that headwind too.

Markets priced 2–12¢ with a spread of 2¢ or less and ≥ $10k volume.
Most longshots are un-tradable because the spread eats the thesis; this keeps only the ones you can actually enter at a fair price.
⚠ Longshots are cheap because they usually lose — favourite-longshot bias means the crowd systematically overpays here.
