Entry Price = the price you paid per share when buying
Current Market Price = the latest Polymarket price

Claiming Resolved Positions
When a market expires and resolves:
Winning positions are worth $1.00 per share
Losing positions are worth $0.00
To claim your winnings:
A Claim badge appears next to your wallet address when you have claimable positions
Click Claim in the wallet dropdown — this redirects you to Polymarket where the actual claim transaction is processed
Once claimed, the USDC is returned to your Polygon wallet
You can also claim directly on polymarket.com under your portfolio.
Entry Price Tracking
Your entry prices are stored in your browser's localStorage. This is important to understand:
P&L is calculated locally — no server stores your trade history
If you clear your browser data, entry prices are lost and P&L display resets
Using incognito/private mode or a different browser/device will not show your P&L
If you trade the same market from Polymarket directly, the entry price here may not match
Your actual positions and funds are always safe on-chain regardless of localStorage. Only the P&L display is affected — you can always check your real positions on polymarket.com.
