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.

polydesk clicktrader servers are not in this path. No custody, no order routing, no key material. Ever.

Keys stay with you

The signer key is generated and stored by you, used only locally. We cannot access, move or freeze your funds.

Checksummed releases

Builds are published on our public GitHub repository together with SHA-256 checksums. Windows installers are code-signed by itereon GmbH; macOS builds are not yet signed. Verify the checksum before installing and download only from there, never from a third-party link.

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.

Density is the aesthetic.

The compact order book condenses every market to bid, ask, spread and your net position, one line per market for a quick scan across the whole session.

The positions panel keeps side, size, average price, net exposure and every working order visible at all times, with a live session log underneath.

Pro

on request

Everything in Plus, set up once on your own server. For traders who need the executor running around the clock; you own the server, we hand it over. What Pro includes →

Talk to us
Open beta. During the open beta every installation has all Plus features at no builder fee. The beta runs until further notice; we announce its end at least 30 days in advance here and in the app. From the announced date, installations without a license key continue as Free: positions, sells and cancels are never affected.

Beta: features and pricing may change before final release. The Plus price is flat and independent of your results; the subscription term will be announced before launch. Polymarket's own fees apply in every tier and are shown in the app. Plus licenses will initially be available for selected billing countries, determined by our payment and tax setup; the billing country is verified at purchase. Pro is available in unrestricted jurisdictions only, with the server located in your own country. Full details on the tiers and Pro in the FAQ and the terms.

v0.5.5 · 3 October 2026 · Release notes & all versions · SHA-256 checksums

polydesk clicktrader is currently in beta. Features may change, errors can occur and builds are updated frequently. Beta builds carry all Plus features for the duration of the beta (see pricing). In live mode, software errors can lead to unintended orders and to losses up to the funds committed to your orders and positions: practice in paper mode first, start with small sizes, use DISARM, and keep a backup of your wallet credentials (see terms, section 5). Please report issues via support.
Installation notes: SmartScreen and Gatekeeper
Windows installers are signed by itereon GmbH. SmartScreen may still show "Windows protected your PC" while a new release builds reputation: check that the dialog names itereon GmbH as the publisher, choose More info, then Run anyway. macOS builds are not yet signed: Gatekeeper reports the app as damaged on first launch — that is its wording for an unsigned download, the app is not damaged. Drag it to Applications, run xattr -cr /Applications/polydesk.app in Terminal once, then open it. Verify the SHA-256 checksum before installing and download only from our repository. Intel Macs are not supported; the macOS build targets Apple Silicon.

polydesk clicktrader is beta software and a software license only; your statutory rights are not affected by its beta status. itereon GmbH holds no funds, is not a counterparty to your transactions and does not organize, broker or advertise gambling or betting; license fees are compensation for the software, not a stake or a commission on winnings. Whether you may use offers on third-party platforms at your location is for you to verify. Trading on prediction markets can lead to the loss of all committed funds; all decisions are your own.
