Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know before you start.

What is DeltaForge?

DeltaForge is a suite of analytical tools for prediction markets. It helps you backtest positions, model P&L scenarios, and analyze risk before trading. No trading, no custody — just data and visualization.

What does the Builder do?

The Builder takes a Polymarket crypto event and lets you pick positions across multiple strikes. It then projects your P&L across the full crypto price range at 4 time snapshots: now, 1/3 to expiry, 2/3, and at expiry.

Is it free?

Yes. All tools are completely free. No signup, no credit card, no wallet connection required. Open the app and start analyzing positions.

What exchanges are supported?

Polymarket for prediction market positions (YES/NO pricing and history) and Binance for crypto spot prices (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP). All data is pulled live.

Can I lose money using these tools?

The tools help you analyze and understand risk — they don't eliminate it. You still execute trades manually on Polymarket. This is NOT a money button. Use the tools to model scenarios before you commit capital.

How do time curves work?

The P&L chart shows 4 lines: Now, 1/3 to expiry, 2/3, and At Expiry. As time passes, positions change value. The curves show how your P&L evolves across the crypto price range at each point in time.

What's the "flat top"?

The flat zone is the price range on the P&L chart where your position stays near breakeven. A wider flat zone means the underlying crypto can move within that range without significant impact on your position.

Who built this?

DeltaForge is built by a team of prediction market traders and developers. Built for traders who take risk seriously.

Key terms, explained simply.

No jargon walls. One-line definitions for everything in the app.

Binary Market

A market that pays out $1 if a condition is met, or $0 if not. All Polymarket positions work this way: YES pays $1 if true, NO pays $1 if false.

Strike / Bracket

The price threshold in a crypto event. For "BTC above $85K", $85K is the strike. Each bracket is a separate market you can trade.

IV (Implied Volatility)

How much the market expects the price to move. Higher IV means positions are priced higher because bigger swings are expected.

Time Decay

Positions lose value as they approach expiry. A YES at $0.50 today may drop to $0.30 tomorrow if the underlying hasn't moved. The Builder shows this visually.

Spot Price

The current market price of the underlying crypto asset (BTC, ETH, SOL). Pulled live from Binance.

Portfolio

A combination of multiple PM positions across different strikes. The Builder shows the combined P&L of your entire portfolio.

Payoff Diagram

A chart showing your profit or loss at every possible price of the underlying asset. The main visualization in DeltaForge tools.

Bracket

A price range in a PM event (e.g. "BTC between $80K-$85K"). Each bracket is a separate YES/NO market you can trade.

Moon Bag

A small position left open after taking profit, designed to capture outsized returns if the market moves dramatically in your favor.

Flat Zone

The price range on a P&L chart where your position stays near breakeven. A wider flat zone means less sensitivity to price movement.
