Polymarket market status: active, closed and resolved

Documentation separates active, closed, archived and acceptingOrders. A catalog record establishes discovery, while acceptingOrders concerns new order acceptance. A visible page or an available heading cannot collapse these fields into one claim about the market’s operational state.

In an illustrative record, active=true with acceptingOrders=false does not establish new execution availability. Keep catalog discovery and unconfirmed order acceptance as separate observations. This retains useful information without inventing trading access from a single boolean or page response.

Closed indicates that trading has stopped following resolution or another closure. Identifying the winning side requires a separate confirmed result record. The absence of an active book cannot by itself establish Yes, No or a split redemption value.

An illustrative match can finish while rule-based result verification continues. Keep the event date, trading state and resolution state separate. Readers can then see which observation is established and which still needs confirmation rather than inferring a winner from closure alone.

A local snapshot labeled 10:00 remains a 10:00 observation when the page is opened at 11:00. Viewing time cannot replace capture time. A closed market can also have fresh completion information alongside an older last traded price.

If a current request fails, the previous value cannot be relabeled as new. Record source and time for both series when comparing them. Without current state confirmation, explain what the last successful observation establishes instead of silently updating its timestamp.

An order’s matched state concerns matching, while trade confirmation concerns completion. Geographic availability concerns a product and the individual circumstances. None of those layers is established solely by an active flag on a public market record retrieved from the catalog.

Check question and deadline, book state, result and data time, then the state of your own operation if one exists. OddsAtlas explanations support reading events; they cannot confirm personal balances or the operation history of an external account.
