Risk Disclosure
Last updated: October 7, 2026
Perpetual futures are high risk. Leverage can cause rapid losses, including the loss of all funds deposited for trading.
Leverage and total loss
Leverage magnifies gains and losses relative to collateral. A small adverse price move can consume position equity quickly. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
Liquidation
If equity falls below maintenance requirements, a position may be liquidated automatically. Execution prices can differ from displayed estimates, especially in fast or illiquid markets.
Funding
Funding payments transfer between long and short positions according to the applicable rate and schedule. Rates can change and may materially affect the cost or return of holding a position.
Auto-deleveraging and protocol risks
Polymarket’s risk controls may reduce or close exposure under specified conditions. Smart-contract, oracle, exchange, wallet, network, and service failures can cause delays, losses, or inability to manage positions.
Technology and execution
Blockchain transactions can be delayed, reordered, or irreversible. Market data and interface values may be stale or incomplete. Always verify order parameters and transaction details before signing.
