# 2.3 Limitations of Existing Solutions

| Solution Type               | Representative Projects | Problems Solved                                     | Remaining Issues                                                         |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Prediction Market Platforms | Polymarket, Kalshi      | Provide venues for event trading                    | Users still need to judge and execute on their own                       |
| Aggregators                 | Chance                  | Aggregate price information across multiple markets | <p>Only solves "seeing" — does not solve "doing"</p><p><br></p>          |
| Copy-Trading Tools          | Kreo, Stand             | Replicate others' trades                            | <p>Lack systematic risk management and strategy iteration</p><p><br></p> |
| Open-Source Scripts         | Polybot, Predikt        | Automate trading                                    | High technical barrier — limited to developers                           |

In addition, retail users face the following specific challenges:

* Insufficient information processing capabilities: Unable to track multi-source information such as news, on-chain data, and social sentiment in real time.
* Emotional trading issues: Chasing highs, panic selling, overtrading, and failing to cut losses.
* Weak position management: Lack of understanding of capital allocation and risk exposure control.
* Inability to monitor markets continuously: Prediction markets operate 24/7, making it impossible for retail users to stay vigilant at all times.
* Lack of execution discipline: Unable to strictly adhere to take-profit and stop-loss rules.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prismnetwork.gitbook.io/prismnetwork-docs/2.-market-pain-points/2.3-limitations-of-existing-solutions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
