What are the trading hours?
Trading hours vary by market and are listed in their Market Overview section.
Examples include:

Why do some markets settle early?
Since markets are based on real-world events, events can happen earlier than expected. For example, if there’s a market that states “Bitcoin will exceed $150,000 by the end of 2025”, and that happens in November, the market settles early and resolves to Yes.
What is volume?
Volume is the total amount of all trades placed in a market and can provide an indication of user interest and activity. When browsing through markets, you’ll see the word volume and a dollar amount next to it.
