Risks and safer trading

Prediction markets involve real financial risk. Trade only with money you can afford to lose, and read the question and resolution rules before every trade.

What you could lose

If a market resolves against your position, the shares for that outcome pay €0. You can lose the full amount paid for those shares, plus any trading fee.

Selling before resolution can reduce your loss, but only if another trader is willing to buy at an acceptable price. The price may have moved since your original trade.

Juhus does not use margin or leverage. A completed purchase cannot lose more than the amount paid for the shares and its applicable fee. Open orders can still lead to additional purchases if they fill, so review and cancel orders you no longer want.

Other risks to consider

• Prices can be wrong. A price reflects current trading, not a guarantee about the future.
• Liquidity can be limited. A market order may fill at several prices, and a limit order may fill only partly or not at all.
• Events can change. An event may be delayed, cancelled, corrected, or become difficult to interpret.
• Rules determine the payout. Read the market question, resolution criteria, and source before trading.
• A trade cannot be undone. You can cancel an unfilled order, but not a trade that has already happened.

Loss limits

You can set optional weekly and monthly loss limits in your account settings. These limits cap the net amount you can put at risk over the previous 7 or 30 days.

The amount counted includes money spent on trades and fees, minus money returned to your balance through actions such as sales and payouts during the same rolling period. It cannot fall below zero. If a new purchase would take you over an active limit, Juhus blocks it. Open buy orders count toward the limit too — the total your unfilled orders could still spend is treated as already at risk, so you cannot stack orders past your limit. Cancelling an open order frees that allowance. Selling remains available unless you are self-excluded.

• Setting a limit for the first time takes effect immediately.
• Lowering a limit takes effect immediately.
• Raising or removing a limit starts a 48-hour cooling-off period.
• After the cooling-off period, you must confirm the change before it takes effect.

Your monthly limit cannot be lower than your weekly limit.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion blocks you from trading for a fixed period. You can choose 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months.

When self-exclusion begins:

• You cannot buy or sell until the period ends.
• Your open, partially filled, and scheduled orders are cancelled. Any completed part remains a completed trade.
• You can still view your account and existing positions.
• You cannot undo or shorten the exclusion. You can only extend it.

Choose self-exclusion only after reviewing the period carefully. It takes effect immediately.

A simple check before trading

Before confirming an order, ask:

1. Have I read the exact question and resolution rules?
2. What is the most I can lose if this trade is wrong?
3. Could limited liquidity change my execution price or prevent me from selling later?
4. Am I comfortable losing this amount?

If the answer to the last question is no, reduce the order or do not place it.
