Trade with awareness. Stay in control.
FUTURAI is a prediction market, not a source of income. Positions involve real risk, prices move, and an unfavorable resolution can mean losing the amount you allocated. This page explains the risk, the tools you have to stay in control, and where to find support.
What opening a position actually means
Before anything else, be clear about how prediction markets behave and what you can lose.
Value can change
Probabilities move as new positions enter the market. The value of your position can fall as fast as it rose.
You can lose what you allocate
An unfavorable resolution may result in the loss of the entire amount allocated to that position. Only use money you can afford to lose.
It is not financial advice
FUTURAI does not guarantee returns and does not replace your own analysis. It is not investment advice or a way to make a living.
Tools to set your own boundaries
Control features are part of the product, not a hidden detail. Configure them at any time from your account settings.
Funding limits
Cap how much you can add per day, week, or month — in USDC, or via on-ramps automatically converted to USDC. Lowering a limit applies immediately.
Loss limits
Set a maximum you are willing to lose over a period. When reached, new positions pause until it resets.
Session reminders
Get a reminder of elapsed time and net result while you are active, so time never slips by unnoticed.
Cooling-off period
Take a short, fixed break — 24 hours up to several weeks — during which you cannot open positions.
Self-exclusion
Block access to markets for a chosen period, or permanently. Reactivation always requires a waiting period.
Activity history
Review every funding, position, and result. Seeing the full picture is the first step to staying in control.
Warning signs and healthy habits
If a few of the warning signs sound familiar, it may be time to use a limit or take a break.
Warning signs
Time to pause
- Chasing losses — opening more positions to win back what you lost.
- Allocating more than you can afford, or money meant for bills.
- Borrowing or selling things to keep trading.
- Hiding your activity from family or friends.
- Neglecting work, sleep, or relationships to stay on the platform.
- Trading to escape stress or low mood rather than to stay balanced.
Healthy habits
Stay in balance
- Set a budget before you start and treat it as leisure spending.
- Only use money you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Never chase losses — a loss is the cost, not a debt to recover.
- Take regular breaks and keep other interests in your week.
- Don't trade when tired, stressed, or under the influence.
- Use funding and loss limits as a default, not a last resort.
