Questions

About the Academy

Nine free lessons on how prediction markets actually work, and what they are not.

Is the Academy really free?

Yes. No account, no email, no upsell. Education is the part of the standard members commit to building in, so it cannot sit behind a paywall.

Who are the lessons for?

Anyone about to place a first trade, and anyone who has been trading for months without checking how their venue settles a contract. Each lesson stands on its own.

Do the lessons give trading advice?

No. They explain mechanics: pricing, spreads, slippage, settlement, position sizing and the psychology of loss. Nothing here is a recommendation to trade.

Can a platform embed these lessons?

Yes. Members can integrate the module into their onboarding and brand it as their own. See the For Platforms page for how it is deployed.
