Risk Disclaimer
Last updated: April 1, 2026
Important Notice
Trading prediction markets with leverage involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. You could lose some or all of your invested capital. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
1. Nature of This Platform
Polymargin is a trading terminal interface that aggregates publicly available data from Polymarket's prediction markets. The platform provides analytical tools, real-time order book data, price charts, and a leverage simulation layer to help users understand and interact with prediction market outcomes.
Polymargin does not operate a financial exchange, does not hold user funds, and does not execute trades on behalf of users. All market data is sourced from Polymarket's CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) API and Gamma metadata API. The leverage functionality in its current phase is a UI simulation layer intended to model leveraged exposure — it does not represent real leveraged positions on any regulated exchange.
2. Not Financial Advice
Nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All content — including market prices, probability estimates, position sizing tools, and PnL calculations — is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
Past market outcomes and historical price data displayed on this platform are not indicative of future results. Prediction markets are inherently uncertain — that is their nature. Prices reflect collective crowd probability estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
3. Prediction Market Risks
Prediction markets differ from traditional financial instruments in important ways. Market outcomes are binary — a position either resolves to $1.00 or $0.00. There is no partial resolution. Events that appear highly probable may fail to materialise; events that appear unlikely do occur.
Additional risks specific to prediction markets include: resolution disputes, oracle manipulation, market illiquidity (particularly near expiry), wide bid-ask spreads on low-volume outcomes, and the possibility of emergency market halts or voidances by the underlying platform.
4. Leverage Risk
Leveraged trading amplifies both gains and losses. With 10× leverage, a 10% adverse move in the underlying market results in a 100% loss of your margin. With 20× leverage — the maximum offered on this platform — a 5% adverse move can result in total loss of collateral before liquidation.
Liquidation Example
If you open a LONG position at 50¢ with 10× leverage, your liquidation price is approximately 45¢ — a move of just 5 cents triggers total loss of your margin. In volatile or illiquid markets, prices can gap through liquidation levels with no opportunity to exit.
You are solely responsible for understanding how leverage affects your position size, liquidation price, and potential losses before placing any trade.
5. No Warranties
Polymargin provides this platform "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any market data displayed. WebSocket feeds may disconnect; order book snapshots may lag; price history may contain gaps. Do not rely on this platform as your sole source of market information when making trading decisions.
6. Regulatory Considerations
Prediction market access and leveraged trading products are regulated differently across jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to determine whether your use of this platform complies with the laws and regulations applicable in your country or region. This platform is not available to residents of jurisdictions where such activities are prohibited.
7. Acknowledgement
By using Polymargin, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted this risk disclaimer in full. You confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, that you understand the risks involved, and that you are using this platform of your own free will.
