💡 Position Management Tips:
  • Never risk more than 5-10% of your portfolio on one trade
  • Diversify across different types of tokens
  • Take partial profits as positions move in your favor
  • Use stop losses to limit downside risk
  • Review and rebalance your portfolio regularly

Portfolio Rebalancing

Regularly review your portfolio allocation:

  1. Assess Performance: Identify winning and losing positions
  2. Take Profits: Partially close profitable positions
  3. Cut Losses: Close positions that have reached stop loss
  4. Redistribute: Reallocate capital to new opportunities

Emergency Position Management

In extreme market conditions:

  • Panic Sell All: Emergency close all positions
  • Pause Trading: Stop new trades temporarily
  • Increase Stops: Tighten stop losses across portfolio
  • Reduce Size: Lower position sizes temporarily
⚠️ Never Risk More Than You Can Afford:
Only trade with money you can afford to lose completely. Crypto trading is highly risky and you could lose your entire investment.

🎯 Take Profit (TP1/TP2/TP3)

Taking profits systematically is key to locking in gains. PillBot offers multiple take-profit levels to help you scale out of winning positions.

How Take Profit Works

PillBot supports up to 3 take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3), allowing you to sell portions of your position as the price rises:

Default TP Configuration

Level Price Target Sell Amount Purpose
TP1 +25% 33% of position Secure initial profits
TP2 +50% 50% of remaining Take substantial gains
TP3 +100% Remaining tokens Maximum profit capture

Configuring Take Profits

  1. Access Settings: Go to "⚙️ Settings" → "Exit Settings"
  2. Set TP Levels: Configure TP1, TP2, TP3 percentages
  3. Set Sell Amounts: Choose how much to sell at each level
  4. Enable Auto-TP: Turn on automatic take profit execution

Take Profit Strategies

Conservative Strategy

  • TP1: +15% (sell 50%)
  • TP2: +30% (sell 75% of remaining)
  • TP3: +60% (sell all remaining)

Balanced Strategy

  • TP1: +25% (sell 33%)
  • TP2: +50% (sell 50% of remaining)
  • TP3: +100% (sell all remaining)

Aggressive Strategy

  • TP1: +50% (sell 25%)
  • TP2: +100% (sell 33% of remaining)
  • TP3: +200% (sell all remaining)

Manual Take Profits

You can also manually take profits:

  1. Open your position in the portfolio
  2. Click "Sell Portion" or "Sell All"
  3. Choose the amount to sell (percentage or fixed amount)
  4. Confirm the sale
💡 Take Profit Best Practices:
  • Scale Out Gradually: Don't sell everything at once
  • Let Winners Run: Keep some position for larger gains
  • Adjust Based on Market: Be more aggressive in bull markets
  • Consider Moonbag: Keep 10-20% for potential massive gains
  • Factor in Fees: Make sure profits exceed trading costs

Moonbag Feature

The moonbag is a portion of your position that you never sell, in case the token goes "to the moon":

  • Set moonbag percentage in settings (10-25% recommended)
  • This portion is excluded from all take profit levels
  • Only manually sell moonbags for life-changing profits
⚠️ Profit Taking Psychology:
It's natural to want to hold for bigger gains, but taking profits systematically beats trying to time the perfect exit. "You'll never go broke taking profits."

🛑 Stop Loss

Stop losses are your safety net, automatically selling positions when they move against you to limit losses.

How Stop Loss Works

A stop loss automatically sells your position when the price drops to a predetermined level, helping you:

  • Limit losses on bad trades
  • Remove emotion from loss-cutting decisions
  • Preserve capital for better opportunities
  • Sleep better knowing your risk is controlled

Types of Stop Loss

Fixed Stop Loss

Sells when price drops by a fixed percentage from your entry price:

  • Conservative: -10% to -15%
  • Moderate: -20% to -25%
  • Aggressive: -30% to -40%

Trailing Stop Loss

Follows the price up but triggers if it drops by X% from the highest point reached:

  • Lets profits run while protecting gains
  • Automatically adjusts as price rises
  • Triggers on reversal, not just from entry

Configuring Stop Losses

  1. Go to Settings: Click "⚙️ Settings" → "Exit Settings"
  2. Set Stop Loss %: Choose your stop loss percentage
  3. Choose Type: Fixed or trailing stop
  4. Enable Auto-Stop: Turn on automatic execution

Stop Loss Strategies by Risk Profile

Conservative Trader

  • Stop Loss: -10%
  • Type: Fixed
  • Reason: Preserve capital, accept small losses

Moderate Trader

  • Stop Loss: -20%
  • Type: Trailing (-15%)
  • Reason: Give trades room to breathe while protecting gains

Aggressive Trader

  • Stop Loss: -30%
  • Type: Trailing (-25%)
  • Reason: Ride volatility for bigger gains
💡 Stop Loss Best Practices:
  • Set Before You Buy: Decide your exit before entering
  • Stick to Your Plan: Don't move stops lower (only higher)
  • Consider Volatility: Wider stops for more volatile tokens
  • Factor in Slippage: Account for execution slippage
  • Use Trailing Stops: For trending markets

When NOT to Use Stop Losses

Sometimes fixed stop losses can work against you:

  • High Volatility Periods: May get stopped out of good trades
  • Low Liquidity Tokens: Price manipulation can trigger stops
  • DCA Strategies: Planned to add more on dips
  • Long-term Holdings: Not actively trading the position

Manual Stop Loss Management

You can also manually manage stops:

  1. Monitor positions regularly
  2. Move stops higher as price rises
  3. Tighten stops after take profit levels hit
  4. Override automatic stops if market conditions change
⚠️ Stop Loss Limitations:
Stop losses execute at market prices and may not fill at exactly your stop price due to slippage, especially in fast-moving or illiquid markets.

📈 Trailing Stop

Trailing stops are advanced stop losses that follow the price upward, allowing you to capture more profit while still protecting against significant reversals.

How Trailing Stops Work

Unlike fixed stop losses, trailing stops:

  • Move up with the price but never move down
  • Trigger when price drops X% from the highest point reached
  • Let you ride trends while protecting profits
  • Automatically lock in gains as the trade moves in your favor

Trailing Stop Example

Example Trade:
• Entry Price: $1.00
• Trailing Stop: 20%
• Price rises to $2.00 → Stop moves to $1.60 (20% below $2.00)
• Price rises to $3.00 → Stop moves to $2.40 (20% below $3.00)
• Price drops to $2.39 → Position sold at $2.39 (139% profit instead of potential loss)

Configuring Trailing Stops

  1. Access Settings: Go to "⚙️ Settings" → "Exit Settings"
  2. Enable Trailing: Turn on "Trailing Stop Loss"
  3. Set Percentage: Choose trailing distance (10-30%)
  4. Set Activation: Minimum profit before trailing starts

Trailing Stop Strategies

Tight Trailing (10-15%)

  • Best for: Scalping, quick profits
  • Pros: Locks in profits quickly
  • Cons: May exit early on brief dips

Medium Trailing (15-25%)

  • Best for: Swing trading, most situations
  • Pros: Good balance of protection and growth
  • Cons: May give back some profits on reversals

Wide Trailing (25-40%)

  • Best for: Long-term trends, volatile tokens
  • Pros: Rides major trends
  • Cons: Larger drawdowns on reversals

Advanced Trailing Features

Activation Threshold

Set a minimum profit level before trailing begins:

  • Prevents early stops on minor price movements
  • Ensures you have some profit before protection kicks in
  • Typical setting: 20-50% gain before trailing activates

Step Trailing

Move stops in increments rather than continuously:

  • Reduces unnecessary stop adjustments
  • Can help with execution and slippage
  • Example: Move stop every 10% price increase
💡 Trailing Stop Best Practices:
  • Wider for Volatile Tokens: Give more room for normal fluctuations
  • Tighter as Profits Grow: Gradually reduce trailing distance
  • Consider Market Conditions: Wider trails in choppy markets
  • Don't Overtrade: Let the system work without constant adjustments
  • Backtest Settings: Test different percentages on historical data

When to Use Trailing Stops

Ideal Situations:

  • Strong trending markets
  • Tokens showing consistent upward momentum
  • When you want to ride a trend but can't monitor constantly
  • After positions are already profitable

Avoid When:

  • Markets are choppy/sideways
  • Token has low liquidity (price manipulation risk)
  • You're planning to DCA (average down)
  • Very short-term trades

Combining with Take Profits

For maximum effectiveness, combine trailing stops with take profits:

  1. Take initial profits at TP1 (25% gain)
  2. Set trailing stop on remaining position
  3. Trail distance can be wider since you've locked in some profits
  4. Let the remaining position ride the trend with protection
⚠️ Trailing Stop Risks:
In extremely volatile markets, trailing stops may execute at prices significantly different from your stop level due to gaps or rapid price movements.

💵 DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging)

Dollar Cost Averaging is a strategy where you buy more of a token as its price drops, reducing your average cost per token.

How DCA Works

Instead of buying all at once, DCA spreads purchases over time or price levels:

  • Buy initial position at market price
  • If price drops 20%, buy more (same USD amount)
  • If price drops another 20%, buy more again
  • Continue until price recovers or you reach max investment

DCA Example

DCA Trade Example:
• Buy 1: $1.00 - 0.5 SOL (500 tokens)
• Buy 2: $0.80 (-20%) - 0.5 SOL (625 tokens)
• Buy 3: $0.64 (-20%) - 0.5 SOL (781 tokens)
• Total: 1.5 SOL for 1,906 tokens
• Average cost: $0.79 (vs $1.00 without DCA)
• Breakeven at $0.79 instead of $1.00

DCA Configuration

  1. Enable DCA: Go to "⚙️ Settings" → "Advanced Settings"
  2. Set Trigger: Price drop percentage to trigger next buy
  3. Set Amount: How much to buy at each level
  4. Set Max Levels: Maximum number of DCA buys
  5. Set Max Investment: Total SOL limit for the position

DCA Strategies

Conservative DCA

  • Trigger: Every 15% drop
  • Amount: Same SOL amount each time
  • Max Levels: 3-4
  • Good for: Stable, established tokens

Aggressive DCA

  • Trigger: Every 25% drop
  • Amount: Increasing amounts (1x, 2x, 3x)
  • Max Levels: 5-6
  • Good for: High conviction plays

Pyramid DCA

  • Trigger: Every 20% drop
  • Amount: Decreasing amounts (3x, 2x, 1x)
  • Max Levels: 4-5
  • Good for: Uncertain market conditions

DCA Best Practices

💡 DCA Success Tips:
  • Have a Plan: Set your levels and limits before starting
  • Use for Quality Tokens: Don't DCA into obvious scams
  • Set Max Loss: Don't DCA forever - have a stop point
  • Consider Market Context: DCA works better in ranging markets
  • Take Profits: Scale out when position becomes profitable

When DCA Works Best

  • Established Projects: Tokens with strong fundamentals
  • Market Downturns: General crypto bear markets
  • Oversold Conditions: When good tokens drop heavily
  • High Conviction: Trades you strongly believe in

When to Avoid DCA

  • Obvious Scams: Security score below 30
  • Fundamental Problems: Project facing serious issues
  • No Liquidity: Can't exit when needed
  • Market Structure Break: Support levels clearly broken

DCA Exit Strategies

Successful Recovery

  • Take initial investment back at breakeven
  • Let remaining position ride for profits
  • Use trailing stops to protect gains

Failed Recovery

  • Set maximum loss limit (e.g., 50% of total investment)
  • Close entire position if limit reached
  • Don't throw good money after bad
⚠️ DCA Risks:
DCA can significantly increase your exposure to a single token. If the token goes to zero, you'll lose more than your initial investment. Only DCA into tokens you genuinely believe will recover.

📊 Understanding Token Metrics

Understanding key token metrics helps you make better trading decisions. Here's what each metric means and how to interpret them.

Market Cap (MCap)

Market cap = Total supply × Current price

Market Cap Categories

Category Range Characteristics Risk Level
Micro Cap $0-$1M High volatility, early stage Very High
Small Cap $1M-$10M Growth potential, moderate volatility High
Mid Cap $10M-$100M Established, balanced risk/reward Medium
Large Cap $100M+ Stable, lower growth potential Low

Volume Analysis

Trading volume indicates market interest and liquidity.

Volume Metrics

  • 24h Volume: Total trading in last 24 hours
  • Volume/MCap Ratio: How much of the supply traded
  • Volume Trend: Increasing or decreasing interest
  • Volume Spikes: Unusual trading activity

Volume Interpretation

Volume/MCap Interpretation Trading Implication
>10% Very active trading High volatility, good liquidity
5-10% Good trading activity Decent liquidity for trading
1-5% Moderate activity Adequate for small trades
<1% Low activity Poor liquidity, avoid large trades

BSR (Buy/Sell Ratio)

BSR shows the balance between buying and selling pressure.

BSR Interpretation

  • BSR > 2.0: Strong buying pressure, bullish
  • BSR 1.5-2.0: Moderate buying pressure
  • BSR 0.8-1.5: Balanced trading
  • BSR 0.5-0.8: Moderate selling pressure
  • BSR < 0.5: Strong selling pressure, bearish

Liquidity Metrics

Liquidity determines how easily you can buy/sell without affecting price.

Key Liquidity Indicators

  • LP Size: Total value in liquidity pools
  • LP Lock: Whether liquidity can be removed
  • Spread: Difference between buy and sell prices
  • Price Impact: How much your trade moves the price

Liquidity Guidelines

LP Size Trade Size Limit Risk Level
>$100k Up to 5 SOL Low
$50k-$100k Up to 2 SOL Medium
$10k-$50k Up to 0.5 SOL High
<$10k Avoid Very High

Holder Distribution

How tokens are distributed among wallets affects price stability.

Healthy Distribution

  • Top holder: <20% of supply
  • Top 10 holders: <50% of supply
  • Minimum 100+ holders
  • Growing holder count over time

Warning Signs

  • Single holder owns >50%
  • Top 5 holders own >80%
  • Decreasing holder count
  • Large wallets selling frequently
💡 Metric Analysis Tips:
  • Look at Trends: Direction matters more than absolute numbers
  • Consider Context: Compare to similar tokens and market conditions
  • Multiple Metrics: Don't rely on just one indicator
  • Time Frames: Check both short-term and long-term trends
  • Market Cap Context: Early tokens will have different metrics

Red Flag Combinations

Be especially cautious when you see:

  • High market cap + low volume (pump and dump risk)
  • High BSR + concentrated holders (manipulation)
  • Low liquidity + high price volatility (illiquid pumps)
  • Decreasing volume + price decline (trend exhaustion)
⚠️ Metrics Can Be Misleading:
Remember that metrics can be manipulated, especially on newer tokens. Always combine quantitative analysis with qualitative research about the project and team.

🎲 What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market, where users bet on real-world events using cryptocurrency. Think of it as "betting on the news" - from sports outcomes to political elections to crypto price predictions.

How Prediction Markets Work

Prediction markets allow you to:

  • Buy "shares" in outcomes you think will happen
  • Shares pay $1 if the outcome occurs, $0 if it doesn't
  • Prices reflect the market's probability of each outcome
  • You can buy or sell shares at any time before resolution

Example: Election Betting

Election Example:
• Question: "Will Biden win the 2024 election?"
• YES shares trade at $0.65 (65% probability)
• NO shares trade at $0.35 (35% probability)
• If you think Biden will win, buy YES at $0.65
• If Biden wins, your shares are worth $1.00 (54% profit)
• If Biden loses, your shares are worth $0.00 (100% loss)

Why Polymarket Matters

  • Price Discovery: Markets often predict outcomes better than polls
  • Real Money: People bet their actual money, revealing true beliefs
  • 24/7 Trading: Prices update in real-time as news breaks
  • Diverse Topics: Sports, politics, crypto, economics, pop culture
  • Transparency: All trades are on-chain and verifiable

Polymarket on Solana

While Polymarket originally operated on Polygon, prediction markets are now available on Solana through Jupiter, offering:

  • Faster transaction speeds
  • Lower fees
  • Better integration with Solana DeFi
  • Native SOL and token betting

Market Categories

🏆 Sports

  • NFL, NBA, MLB, soccer matches
  • Championship winners
  • Player performance bets
  • Season-long outcomes

🗳️ Politics

  • Election outcomes
  • Policy predictions
  • Approval ratings
  • International events

💰 Crypto & Finance

  • Price predictions (BTC, ETH, SOL)
  • Market cap milestones
  • DeFi protocol outcomes
  • Economic indicators

🎬 Pop Culture

  • Award show winners
  • Celebrity news
  • Entertainment outcomes
  • Social media events
💡 Prediction Market Advantages:
  • Skill-Based: Research and analysis can give you an edge
  • Fast Resolution: Many markets resolve within days or weeks
  • Diverse Opportunities: Bet on what you know best
  • No House Edge: Unlike traditional sports betting
  • Liquidity: Exit positions before resolution

Risks of Prediction Markets

  • Binary Outcomes: You either win big or lose everything
  • Time Sensitive: Information changes rapidly
  • Research Required: Success requires good analysis
  • Market Manipulation: Large bettors can move prices
  • Resolution Risk: Disputes over outcomes
⚠️ Betting Responsibly:
Prediction markets are a form of gambling. Only bet amounts you can afford to lose completely, and remember that even well-researched bets can lose due to unexpected events.

🪐 How Jupiter Prediction Markets Work

Jupiter's prediction markets bring Polymarket-style betting to Solana, offering fast, cheap, and efficient prediction market trading.

Jupiter Integration

Jupiter prediction markets leverage Solana's advantages:

  • Low Fees: Trades cost fractions of a penny
  • Fast Execution: Instant trade confirmations
  • Native Assets: Trade with SOL, USDC, and other Solana tokens
  • DeFi Integration: Connect with other Solana protocols

How Trades Execute

  1. Market Creation: Oracles create markets for real-world events
  2. Outcome Tokens: Each outcome gets its own token (YES/NO)
  3. Liquidity Pools: Automated market makers provide liquidity
  4. Price Discovery: Supply and demand determine probabilities
  5. Resolution: Oracles determine the winning outcome
  6. Settlement: Winning tokens redeem for full value

Token Mechanics

Binary Markets (YES/NO)

  • Each market has YES and NO tokens
  • YES + NO prices always equal $1.00
  • Winning tokens redeem for $1.00, losing tokens for $0.00
  • You can hold both sides to guarantee $1.00 return

Multi-Outcome Markets

  • Multiple possible outcomes (e.g., NFL winner)
  • Each outcome has its own token
  • All outcome prices sum to $1.00
  • Only one outcome token will be worth $1.00

Pricing and Probabilities

Token prices directly reflect market-implied probabilities:

Token Price Implied Probability Interpretation
$0.90 90% Very likely to happen
$0.70 70% Probably will happen
$0.50 50% Coin flip odds
$0.30 30% Probably won't happen
$0.10 10% Very unlikely

Liquidity and Market Making

Jupiter prediction markets use automated market makers (AMMs):

  • Always Available: Trade 24/7 without waiting for counterparties
  • Price Impact: Large trades move prices according to demand
  • Arbitrage Opportunities: Price differences across markets
  • Liquidity Incentives: Earn fees by providing liquidity

Oracle Resolution

Markets resolve using reliable data sources:

  • Sports Data: Official league results and statistics
  • Election Results: Government and media sources
  • Price Data: Major exchange feeds and price APIs
  • Economic Data: Government and institutional reports
💡 Jupiter Trading Advantages:
  • No Slippage Limits: Always get a quote, even for large trades
  • MEV Protection: Built-in protection against front-running
  • Cross-Collateral: Use any Solana token as collateral
  • Composability: Integrate with other DeFi protocols
  • Permissionless: Anyone can create or trade markets

  • Markets open for trading
  • Prices fluctuate based on news and sentiment
  • Volume typically increases as event approaches
  • Late money can create arbitrage opportunities

Event Phase

  • Trading may pause during live events
  • Prices reflect real-time developments
  • High volatility as outcomes become clearer
  • Last chance to adjust positions

Resolution Phase

  • Oracles submit outcome data
  • Markets close to new trading
  • Winning tokens can be redeemed
  • Losing tokens become worthless
⚠️ Resolution Disputes:
In rare cases, outcomes may be disputed if the result is unclear or controversial. Markets have built-in dispute resolution mechanisms, but this can delay final settlement.

Analyzing a Market

Before placing a bet, analyze these factors:

Market Information

  • Question: What exactly is being predicted?
  • Resolution Date: When will the outcome be known?
  • Resolution Source: How will the outcome be determined?
  • Current Prices: What are the current odds?

Market Health

  • Volume: How much trading activity?

  2. Choose Outcome: Select YES or NO (or specific outcome)
  3. Set Amount: Enter how much jUSD to bet
  4. Review Odds: Check current price and potential payout
  5. Confirm Bet: Submit your transaction
Bet Example:

• Current YES price: $0.30 (30% probability)
• Your bet: 100 jUSD on YES
• Shares received: 333.33 YES tokens
• Potential payout: 333.33 jUSD if correct (233% profit)

Bet Sizing Strategy

Conservative Betting

  • Bet 1-2% of your bankroll per market
  • Focus on high-probability events
  • Avoid extremely volatile markets
  • Diversify across multiple markets

Aggressive Betting

  • Bet 5-10% per high-confidence market
  • Look for mispriced opportunities
  • Accept higher volatility for bigger returns
  • Focus on fewer, well-researched bets

Types of Betting Strategies

Value Betting

  • Look for markets where you think prices are wrong
  • Compare market odds to your own probability estimates
  • Bet when you have an information advantage
  • Requires deep research and domain knowledge

Event Trading

  • Buy before events and sell during them
  • Profit from price movements, not final outcomes
  • Focus on volatile events with news catalysts
  • Requires active monitoring and quick decisions

Arbitrage Betting

  • Find price discrepancies between platforms
  • Bet both sides to guarantee profit
  • Exploit temporary market inefficiencies
  • Requires fast execution and multiple accounts
💡 First-Time Betting Tips:
  • Start Small: Begin with 10-20 jUSD to learn the system
  • Pick Familiar Topics: Bet on subjects you understand
  • Check Resolution Criteria: Understand exactly what determines winning
  • Set Time Limits: Don't bet on very long-term events initially
  • Track Your Bets: Keep records of what works and what doesn't

Common Betting Mistakes

  • Betting with Heart: Supporting your favorite team/candidate
  • Chasing Losses: Increasing bet sizes after losses
  • FOMO Betting: Jumping into trending markets without research
  • Ignoring Liquidity: Betting on markets you can't exit
  • Overconfidence: Betting too much on "sure things"

Research Sources

Good research is key to successful betting:

  • Sports: Team stats, injury reports, weather conditions
  • Politics: Polls, campaign finance, expert analysis
  • Crypto: Technical analysis, on-chain data, market sentiment
  • Economics: Economic indicators, central bank communications
⚠️ Responsible Betting:
Set betting limits and stick to them. Prediction markets can be addictive. Only bet money you can afford to lose, and take breaks if you're experiencing losses or betting more than planned.

📊 Managing Positions

Active position management is crucial for prediction market success. Unlike traditional trading, you're often betting on binary outcomes with specific end dates.

Viewing Your Positions

  1. Access Portfolio: Click "💼 Portfolio" → "Polymarket Positions"
  2. Review Active Bets: See all open positions with current values
  3. Check Market Status: Monitor time to resolution and recent news

  • Entry Price: Average price you paid per share
  • Current Price: Current market price
  • Unrealized PnL: Current profit/loss if you sold now

  • Risk: All or nothing outcome

Active Trading

Buy and sell based on price movements:

  • Take profits when your side moves in your favor
  • Cut losses if new information changes odds

  • Requires constant monitoring

Portfolio Hedging

Reduce risk through strategic position sizing:

  • Take partial profits to secure gains
  • Add hedge bets if odds shift dramatically
  • Rebalance exposure across different markets
  • Use position sizing to manage overall risk

When to Exit Positions

Take Profit Scenarios

  • Quick 20-30% gains: Consider taking profits early
  • New negative information: Exit before prices adjust
  • Approaching resolution: Lock in gains if outcome unclear
  • Better opportunities: Redeploy capital to higher-value bets

Cut Loss Scenarios

  • Fundamental change: New info changes your thesis
  • Price moved against you: Save remaining value
  • Time decay: Getting close to unfavorable resolution
  • Liquidity concerns: Exit before market becomes illiquid
💡 Position Management Tips:
  • Set Profit Targets: Decide exit prices before entering
  • Monitor News: Stay informed about events affecting your bets
  • Use Stop Losses: Don't let winning bets turn into losers
  • Scale In/Out: Build and reduce positions gradually

Low (50-60% confident) 1-2% of bankroll Quick trading

Diversification Guidelines

  • Maximum 20% in any single market

  • Vary resolution timeframes
  • Balance high and low probability bets

Advanced Position Management

Pair Trading

Psychology and Discipline

  • Stick to Your Plan: Don't let emotions drive decisions
  • Accept Losses: Not every bet will win
  • Avoid Recency Bias: Don't overweight recent events
  • Stay Patient: Good opportunities come to those who wait
⚠️ Resolution Risk:
Markets occasionally resolve in unexpected ways due to technicalities or disputes. Always read resolution criteria carefully and understand edge cases that might affect your position.
