Who this guide is for
US adults who can already open a Polymarket ticket or Portfolio and now need to read the activity feed — what the public tape or the account list actually shows (recent trades, fills), where that list lives if official help or the live screen names it, why a print is not your fill unless it is, and why the feed is not a tax export. This is not how to export your Polymarket history, not how to read your Polymarket portfolio, not how to read volume, and not how to read the order book. Those pages are the file, the live screen, the volume stamp, and the ladder. This page is the list of recent prints. Then we link out. Polymarket is the only live outbound here.
Two feeds — public tape versus your fills
Official Time & Sales is anyone’s print. Official Glossary History is yours. Official Portfolio API is where US docs say trading activity history. Do not mash them into one “my money” scroll.
Public tape — anyone’s completed matches on that ticket
Official Time & Sales + lastTradePx
Official Time & Sales is a public execution tape: Transaction Time, Symbol, Last Price, Last Quantity. It does not print side, aggressor, or buyer/seller. Official market-book stats name lastTradePx and lastTradeQty as the most recent match on that market. Those rows are the public feed this page is after — recent trades that already printed. They are not your Portfolio, and they are not a promise the next swipe pays that print.
Account list — fills and closed tickets that belong to you
Official Glossary History
Official Glossary: a fill is when your order completes, fully or partially; History is the section showing your past filled orders and closed positions. Official Portfolio API Overview names trading activity history. Official Get Activities returns typed events for the authenticated account — trades, position resolutions, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and other types those pages list. That is your record. It is still not a P&L statement and not a tax form.
“Activity” is official API language — and an international ticket tab
Confirm the live word
Official Get Activities is where US docs print Activity as a typed feed. Public international market pages print an Activity tab as a real-time feed of trades. Official Website vs App: US residents browse and trade in the Polymarket US app, not on polymarket.com. Official Place a Trade, Official Monitor Your Positions, and Official Glossary do not reprint a retail tab labelled Activity, Trades, or Recent on the swipe we checked. We will not invent one. If the live US ticket or Portfolio prints Activity, Trades, Recent, or History, use that live word. If it only shows a list of prints or fills with no header, read the list.
Official Time & Sales · official History · Activity flagged as API / international tab
Where activity / trades / recent lives
Hard rule: if official US help names a section, we name it. If a tab is not on those pages, we describe the action. Official Place a Trade is tap to open the ticket, then the Portfolio tab. Official Website vs App splits the international site from the US desk.
Public recent trades live on the opened ticket — if the live screen prints them
Official Place a Trade
Official Place a Trade: tap any market to open it. Official Browse Markets lists the question, Yes and No prices, and a resolution date — not an Activity column on the tile. Official Place a Trade does not reprint a retail tab labelled Activity, Trades, or Recent on the swipe we checked. The action is: on that opened ticket, look for the recent-trade / activity list that sits with the market if the live app prints one. Official Website vs App: US residents do that in the Polymarket US app. If the sports desk is hidden where you live, stop.
Your fills live after Portfolio — History if the live app shows it
Official Place a Trade + Glossary
Official Place a Trade: after you swipe, open the Portfolio tab to track the position and market value. Official Glossary already names History as the section for past filled orders and closed positions. Official Monitor Your Positions names cash, open positions, and total value — it does not reprint History, Activity, or Trades as a retail chip on the swipe we checked. We will not invent one. Look for the live list of past fills and closed tickets, and use whatever History / activity / trades label the live US app actually prints.
Not the volume stamp, not the book, not a file you download
Different clocks
A volume figure is completed trading activity as a total — How to read volume. The bid/ask ladder is the now-book — How to read the Polymarket order book. Official Time & Sales is the exchange tape, not a phone export. How to export your Polymarket history is how to copy or download your account record if a file control exists. This page only teaches you to read the list in front of you.
Official Place a Trade · no invented Activity tab · ticket tape ≠ History
A print is not your fill unless it is
Official Glossary is the retail word for fill. Official Time & Sales is why a tape row cannot name you. Official Get Activities is why a reversed trade can still sit in the list.
A fill is when your order completes — Official Glossary
Your order, not the tape
Official Glossary: a fill is when your order completes, fully or partially; a partial fill is when only part of your order fills; execution price is the price at which your order fills. Official Orders & Trading: once an order fills, you have a position. Until that is your order matching, a print on the public tape is someone else’s completed match — or a match that is not yet yours.
Time & Sales does not name the buyer or the seller
Official Time & Sales
Official Time & Sales: the tape is time, price, size, and symbol. It does not include side, aggressor flag, or buyer/seller information. Official market-book lastTradePx is the same idea on the ticket — the most recent match. Seeing 40¢ print does not mean your resting limit or your marketable swipe got 40¢. Confirm the fill on your account list, or on the working-order row, before you treat that print as yours.
A busted or reversed trade can still sit in history
Official Get Activities
Official Portfolio API: busted trades remain visible in trade history and should be treated as reversed for position, P&L, and reconciliation — not silently dropped. Official Reporting Data makes the same point on the CSV side. A row that later reverses is still not a lock, and it is still not a number we reprint. If the live list shows a voided or reversed print, read it as reversed.
Official fill · official tape has no buyer · busted row ≠ a lock · no live print
The feed is not P&L and not a tax export
Official Monitor Your Positions is the open-row mark. Official Reporting Data is a spreadsheet dump, not a filed form. Neither page is this scroll.
A list of prints is not your P&L
Official docs do not name a P&L tab
Official Monitor Your Positions sits current market next to average entry on the open position. Official pages we checked do not print a retail column labelled P&L, Unrealized P&L, or Profit. Official Get Activities can attach realizedPnl on an authenticated trade object — that is API language, not a phone P&L chip we will paste onto the swipe. How to read unrealized P&L is the live gap on the open row. How to read your Polymarket portfolio is cash versus a filled ticket. This feed is only the list of recent trades or fills.
The feed is not a tax export
Official Reporting Data
Official Reporting Data describes CSV report downloads as files for spreadsheets, compliance record-keeping, and third-party analysis. Official US retail pages we checked do not reprint a 1099, a tax statement, or a filed form. Official Get Activities is a paginated JSON activity feed, not a return you file. We will not invent that Polymarket US does or does not issue a tax document. A scroll of recent rows is not a year-end summary.
If you need a file, that is a later how-to — this page only reads
This page
How to export your Polymarket history is where a US person looks for a download or copies the on-screen list. Official US retail pages we checked do not reprint Export, Download, or CSV on the swipe. We will not invent that button here either. Read the live feed. If you later want a personal copy, follow that export page. Nothing here is tax advice or investment advice.
No invented P&L column · no invented 1099 · spreadsheet ≠ filed form · not tax advice
How to read the activity feed
-
Step 1
Decide which feed you are looking at — the ticket tape or your account list
Official Time & Sales and official lastTradePx are anyone’s completed matches on that market. Official Glossary History is your past filled orders and closed positions. Official Get Activities is the authenticated account feed. Official Website vs App: US residents use the Polymarket US app, not polymarket.com. If the sports desk is hidden where you live, stop. Do not mash a public print into a fill you think you own.
-
Step 2
Open the ticket or the Portfolio tab — then find the live list if the screen prints one
Official Place a Trade: tap a market to open it, or open the Portfolio tab after you swipe. Official Place a Trade, Official Monitor Your Positions, and Official Glossary do not reprint a retail tab labelled Activity, Trades, or Recent on the swipe we checked — we will not invent one. Public international pages print an Activity tab we could not confirm on US retail help. The action is: look for the recent-trade or past-fill list the live US app actually shows, and use that live label.
-
Step 3
Treat a public print as history — a fill is only yours when your order completed
Official Glossary: a fill is when your order completes. Official Time & Sales does not name the buyer or the seller. Official Prices & Market Data: a market order pays the best available price on the other side right now, not the last print. Official Get Activities: a busted trade can stay in history and should be read as reversed. We do not reprint a live fill. Confirm your account row before you treat a tape print as yours.
-
Step 4
Do not read the feed as P&L or as a tax export
Official US retail pages we checked do not reprint a P&L column or a 1099. Official Reporting Data calls a CSV a spreadsheet / compliance / analysis file — not a filed form. Official Monitor Your Positions is the open-position mark; Official Check Your Balance is cash. A list of recent trades is neither. How to export your Polymarket history is the copy-or-download page. This how-to does not clone it.
-
Step 5
Stop — leave portfolio, volume, the order book, and the export click-path to those pages
How to read your Polymarket portfolio is cash versus a filled ticket. How to read volume is the stamp on the market page. How to read the Polymarket order book is bid versus ask. How to export your Polymarket history is the file if one exists. This page is only how to read the activity / recent-trades / fills list without treating it as your P&L. Event contracts can settle at zero. Trade only what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is investment advice.
API activity is not a retail Activity chip
Official Get Activities lists typed events: trades, position resolutions, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and other activity types those docs name. Official Reporting Data adds CSV streams. That is useful if you already have the authenticated access those pages describe. It is not permission to tell a US retail reader to open a developer portal, paste a key, or run a script — and it is not a reason to invent an Activity tab on the US swipe.
Official Website vs App: the US desk is the app. An international Activity tab on polymarket.com is a different product. We will not paste that header onto this cashier as if Place a Trade printed it.
Blocked and contested states
Reported unavailable as of June 2026: Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada and Ohio. That list is not a promise it stays still — litigation around sports event contracts in particular can narrow or shift access. If you are in a listed state, do not treat an activity row as money you can withdraw. If you are in Florida or another green-light state, still confirm the ticket or Portfolio — and the live activity / History list — opens before you treat a row as yours.

What you will not get from this page
A dollar welcome match, a paste-this promo code, a live fill or P&L, an invented Activity / Trades / Recent tab, a 1099 we could not find on official US retail help, a cloned export-history / portfolio / volume / order-book walkthrough, a developer-key tutorial, or claim buttons for Kalshi, DraftKings, FanDuel, Underdog, Sleeper, PrizePicks, Hard Rock or BetRivers. We could not verify a standing official US welcome bonus on Polymarket’s own terms. Other publishers’ partner codes are theirs; we do not copy them. The honest user-facing line is still US access via CFTC-regulated QCEX — the public tape is anyone’s completed matches, History is the official Glossary name for your past fills and closed positions, Activity is official API language and an international ticket tab we could not confirm on the US swipe, a print is not your fill unless your order completed, the feed is not a tax export, and anything those US pages do not print is not a label we invent.
