Responsible trading

Understand the risk first

Every position can go to zero. Before you trade, know the maximum you could lose and be certain you can absorb it without affecting anything that matters.

Set personal limits in advance

• Decide a total amount you are willing to lose over a period, before you start.
• Decide a maximum size per market, and keep it small relative to the market's liquidity.
• Keep trading funds in a separate wallet from savings.
• Write the limits down; do not renegotiate them mid-session.

Avoid trading under distress

Trading while angry, anxious, sleep-deprived or intoxicated reliably produces worse decisions. If a market feels urgent, that urgency is usually the reason to wait.

Do not chase losses

Increasing size to recover a loss is the most common way a manageable loss becomes an unmanageable one. Treat each position independently of past results.

Take breaks

Step away on a schedule rather than when things go badly. Disconnect your wallet at the end of a session so trading requires a deliberate restart.

Closing positions

You can cash out before resolution at the current market price, subject to liquidity and fees. Exiting a position you no longer understand is a legitimate decision, not a failure.

If trading stops feeling optional

If you recognise compulsive patterns, hiding activity, borrowing to trade, chasing, or trading to change how you feel, seek qualified help in your own country. Support organisations differ by jurisdiction, and we do not list services we cannot verify.
