Why polydesk clicktrader
Why polydesk clicktrader: built for traders who find the web UI too slow.
Every design decision optimizes for one thing: the time between your decision and your order reaching the book.
Speed
One-click execution
Every price cell in the Ladder is a live order button: click a price to make, click the ask to take, no form and no confirmation dialog in the hot path. The Grid stages a bet with one click and places it with the next, so a whole market fits on one screen without a stray order.
Visibility
Every market on one screen
A dense multi-market workspace with live depth, your working orders and net position always in view. No tab-switching mid-session.
Workflow
Keyboard-driven
Size presets on hotkeys 1 to 8, hedge at the best bid on F, cancel every working order on Esc. Hands stay on the keyboard, eyes stay on the market.
Focus
Built for fast markets
Quickly moving prices need auto-centering ladders and depth minimaps, not a general-purpose web page.
Control
Non-custodial by design
Your signer key and funds never touch our infrastructure. polydesk clicktrader is the cockpit, not the vault.
Privacy
Privacy first
The app runs locally and talks directly to the market API. No usage telemetry, no trading data collected, no account with us required.
Feature showcase
Ladder trading and the Grid: two instruments, one click.
This is what sets polydesk clicktrader apart from every browser tab. The Ladder opens full depth per outcome at every tick. The Grid puts all outcomes of a market on one row of clickable price cells. Both enter orders with a single click.
The Ladder
Full depth per outcome, one click per tick.

Depth at every tick
A vertical ladder per outcome: bid and ask depth at every price level, your own orders highlighted. Click a price to make, click the book to take.
Auto-center & minimap
Fast markets move. The ladder follows the market's mid price automatically and a price bar on the edge keeps the whole book in view, with the last trade marked.
Hedge column & netting
Net exposure per market computed live across outcomes, with a hedge column that shows, for every price level, the profit or loss of closing your position there.
How ladder trading works in polydesk clicktrader →
The Grid
A whole market in one row of price cells.
One row per outcome
One cell per price. Ask cells left, bid cells right, live volume under every price, your size in the middle. One click stages the bet in the PLACE BETS ticket, one more click on its confirm button puts it in the book.
Hotkey size presets
Eight configurable size presets bound to number keys. Change size without leaving the Grid or the Ladder; the active preset is always visible.
Kill switch, one key away
The ARMED / DISARMED toggle sits in the top bar. CANCEL ALL is the red button in the WORKING ORDERS header of the bottom panel, and Esc does the same from anywhere — no menu, no dialog.

Security & control
The cockpit, not the vault.
There have been documented supply-chain attacks on trading tools in this space, trojanized bots shipping private-key stealers. The architecture of polydesk clicktrader is the answer: nothing to steal from us, because we never hold anything.

Checksummed releases

No usage telemetry
Nothing leaves your machine except the orders you send to the Polymarket API, technical error and crash diagnostics, and anonymous feedback you choose to send from the app. No trading or usage data. Details in the privacy policy.
You hold the kill switch
DISARM blocks all order placement instantly; Esc or CANCEL ALL pulls every working order at once.
