Polymarket indices markets
Polymarket lists recurring markets on major equity index levels: where the S&P 500 or Nasdaq will close, in strike buckets over daily and weekly horizons.
Marketlens records the complete order book for each, which is a rare view of retail index sentiment expressed as tradeable probabilities rather than survey answers.
This page lists the indices series in the catalog. For what the indices archive holds and how to pull it, see Polymarket price history.

What data is available for each indices market?
Every market has full L2 order book history (snapshots plus every price change with millisecond timestamps), trades, candles, and its final resolution outcome. Data is served through the REST API and Python SDK, with bulk Parquet exports for offline work.
How much do these markets trade?
Combined traded volume across the category is $6.3M. Per series volumes are listed in the table on this page.
Can I backtest strategies on indices markets?
Yes. Pass any series slug from this page to client.backtest() in the Python SDK. Execution mode replays the order books tick by tick and fills simulated orders against real depth with queue priority, latency, and fee modelling; Alpha mode replays one bar per market for slower signals over long windows.
Other categories: crypto, sports, weather, or the full catalog.
