Trading Risks
Trading prediction markets carries significant financial risks. You should be aware of and understand the following risks before using Playground:
- •Loss of Capital — You can lose some or all of your invested capital. There is no guarantee of profit, and losses can exceed your initial investment in certain scenarios.
- •Market Volatility — Cryptocurrency prediction markets are highly volatile. Prices can move rapidly and unpredictably, leading to significant losses.
- •Liquidity Risk — Some markets may have low liquidity, making it difficult to enter or exit positions at desired prices.
- •Execution Risk — Orders may not fill at your desired price, or may not fill at all. Slippage can occur, especially during volatile periods.
- •Market Resolution Risk — Prediction markets resolve based on real-world events. Unexpected outcomes can result in total loss of position value.
- •Correlation Risk — Multiple positions may be correlated, meaning they can all lose value simultaneously during adverse market conditions.
