ForecastIndex Market Tools
ForecastIndex is building a market discovery layer for prediction market users who want odds, fees, liquidity, availability notes, and resolution-risk context in one place before making a decision.
Many users first meet Polymarket through search queries about fees, reviews, availability, alternatives, crypto markets, election odds, sports events, or prediction market apps. ForecastIndex gives those users a safer research path before they click, deposit, or trade.
These tools are designed to make market research easier without turning the site into a trading recommendation engine.
Track Polymarket markets by vertical, starting with crypto and expanding into elections, sports, macro, and high-interest events.
Estimate implied probability, compare spreads, and understand platform fee impact before placing an order.
Read plain-English notes on market rules, close times, and settlement caveats before taking risk.
Save markets and receive updates when odds, liquidity, or event context changes.
When a market note depends on a changing rule, ForecastIndex should link the source and show the check date.
Users should be able to move from a platform comparison to fees, market wording, and resolution sources without relying on promotional language.

ForecastIndex avoids guaranteed-profit claims, betting-tip language, and automatic trade recommendations. The product is designed around manual decisions, fee transparency, jurisdiction reminders, and market-resolution clarity.
ForecastIndex market tools are currently read-only research pages. If funded account tests are added later, the page should say exactly what was tested and when.
Track Polymarket market tool updates, fee changes, and platform comparisons. No trade calls, just market context.
