How do I trade on Prediki?

Your Credits

Upon registration you receive 100,000 Credits once for free. But beware: You cannot buy more Credits, so please invest them with care to add to them as much as possible. The best way to make more credits is to invest them into the correct predictions.

Investing Credits

In any question, open the trading interface by clicking the trading button, this is the third button on top, marked with a line chart icon. For first time users, this will start the trading tutorial. If the likelihood of an answer - in your assessment - is higher than the current price, you should invest "in favour" of such answer, in the opposite case invest "against" it.

Earning Credits

If the price rises, you can sell at any time and realise a profit. Or you can wait for the real event. If it eventuates according to your traded opinion, you win the full "potential profit". You can also earn more credits by writing comments. If other traders find them worth reading you get +100 credits more, if you rate messages, you get +1 credit for each rating.

Winning real money

Incentives, i.e. prize money from sponsors will be apportioned pro rata to Credit winnings at settlement. You can then transfer such real-money winnings to your bank account, send them to your email using PayPal, or donate them to the ESOMAR charity.
