# Market status

Market in Odds88 has only a `tradingStatus` field which has the same type as event’s: TradingStatus enumeration.

Trading status value actually describes how markets should be processed and displayed.

* **Open** - market is active and available for trading.
* **Suspended** - market is temporarily not available for trading, but may become available at some point.
* **Closed** - market is closed, usually this is the final status but there is no guarantee it will not switch after some time.
* **Inactive** - market is not available for trading due to some reason (usually configuration). The market should be not visible to clients but may change its status at some moment.

Event’s trading status has higher priority than market’s meaning that even if the market inside an Inactive event is Open, bets will not be accepted.

At the same time if the event's trading status is Open but market’s is Inactive, bets will also not be accepted.

During some specific operations (like trading configuration change for events) the market may change its status quickly.

Example: Open → Inactive → Suspended → Open
