# Prediction Trading Workflow

> Follow prediction from quote and order acceptance through funding reservation, result evaluation, settlement, and reconciliation.

Prediction follows a common order-and-funds journey, with different timing rules for each game.

## Order lifecycle

| Stage               | What to check                                                           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Selection and quote | Game, symbol, amount, odds, and price/time conditions                   |
| Acceptance          | Order number, recorded conditions, and successful acceptance            |
| Funds reserved      | The order's reservation in the funding account                          |
| Awaiting result     | Round result evaluation, independent expiry, or the grid's valid window |
| Result processing   | Authoritative price evidence and the order's applicable rules           |
| Settlement          | Final status, actual payout, and settlement transaction                 |
| Reconciliation      | Order history matches account movements                                 |

## Timing by game

* **Up/Down:** orders belong to a scheduled round. Betting closes before the result is processed.
* **Custom:** each order has its own opening price and expiry. Another user's order can have different timing.
* **Grid:** the selected cell has a valid start and end time. A touch outside that window does not qualify.

## If processing is interrupted

Do not infer a final result from a disconnected page or a delayed balance refresh. Reopen the order record, check its current status, and reconcile the associated transaction. If price evidence or settlement processing is abnormal, follow [Refunds and Exceptions](/prediction/refunds-exceptions).

## Keep a traceable record

For support, retain the order number, game, symbol, order time, displayed status, and settlement transaction number if present. A round number helps identify Up/Down orders; a grid screenshot alone does not identify a stored order.
