# Conditional Markets
### Create a conditional market
It is possible to create a new market based on the outcome of an existing market.
For example, we could have a market asking if Maduro will win the election, and a conditional market asking if Maduro will accept the election results in case of losing.
There is a "New conditional market" link to each outcome.
When you click on it, you're directed to the usual market form. However, you'll notice an alert indicating that this is a conditional market, which depends on the outcome of another market.
You can see the same alert on the market page.
In conditional markets, you don't use sDAI to place bets. Instead, you must first split or purchase the parent outcome tokens from the main market. In this case, you need to have "No" tokens from the parent market (**Will Maduro win the election?**)
### Nested conditional markets
You can create a conditional market based on another conditional market and interact with it as you would with any market.
### Mint, merge conditional outcome tokens
The process is largely the same [as with a simple market](/seer-documentation/getting-started/navigate-our-site/mint-merge-redeem-outcome-tokens.md). However, instead of using sDAI (or xDAI) to mint conditional outcome tokens and receiving sDAI (or xDAI) when merging those tokens, you will use parent outcome tokens from the main market.
### Resolve conditional market and redeem conditional outcome tokens
You would resolve the market [as normal](/seer-documentation/getting-started/navigate-our-site/resolve-market.md). However, after a conditional market is resolved, instead of redeeming sDAI (or xDAI), you will redeem parent outcome tokens, which can then be used to redeem in parent market.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Conditional markets are dependent on their parent market's outcome. If the parent market resolves to an outcome different from the one assumed by the child market, then the child market and all markets nested under it become obsolete, meaning your outcome tokens will redeem for zero.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://seer-3.gitbook.io/seer-documentation/getting-started/navigate-our-site/conditional-markets.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
