Responsible Trading

Trade within your means.

Statara is an analytics tool, not an exchange. We don't execute trades, hold funds, or take the other side of your positions. But event contracts put real money at real risk — a contract that resolves against you is worth zero — and the behavioral patterns that harm gamblers harm traders the same way, whatever the product is called legally.

Statara exists to make your own record visible — including when the honest read is that you should step back. If trading has stopped feeling like analysis and started feeling like need, help is available, and it works.

Signs to watch for
Position sizes growing after losses, not after wins
Trading to win back what a market just took
Opening positions to escape stress or difficult emotions
Hiding how much you have at risk from people close to you
Neglecting responsibilities to watch markets
Feeling unable to stop, even when you want to

Several of Statara's signals — sizing up after losses, fast re-entry after a losing settlement, concentration — exist precisely because these patterns show up in trading records before people name them in themselves.
