Risk disclosure

Prediction markets can and do go to zero. Read this before you copy anyone.

Last updated: 9 October 2026

You can lose everything you put in

A prediction market share settles at either 1 or 0. A position that ends on the wrong side is worth nothing — not less, nothing.

Only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely.

Copying is not the same as the trader's result

Your fill happens after theirs, at whatever the book offers when your order arrives. That difference — slippage — is yours, not theirs.

Orders can fill partly or not at all when the book is thin, and Polymarket has a minimum order size, so small copies may be rejected outright.

You may enter a position mid-way through the trader's, and you may not see their exit if it happens by a mechanism the platform does not read as a sale.

Past performance of any trader shown here is only history. It is not a prediction and carries no guarantee.

Platform and market risks

Polymarket resolves markets according to its own rules; a resolution you disagree with is still the outcome.

Outages, latency, rate limits and API changes on either side can delay or prevent a copy.

Fees exist: Polymarket may charge a platform fee, and orders routed with a builder code carry a builder fee on top. Any fee we would charge is shown before you agree to it.

No advice, and your own taxes

Nothing here is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and we do not manage money on your behalf.

Any tax owed on your trading is yours to declare where you live.
