UpsideOnly is the first of its kind: a risk-free platform to predict markets utilizing proprietary AI trained on more than 22 billion retail trades to ensure users can never lose money, only win it

Perpetuals.com Ltd (NASDAQ:PDC), today launched UpsideOnly, the first risk-free trading and market prediction platform that uses a proprietary AI algorithm combined with crowd intelligence to ensure users never lose money.

The problem is real: retail traders lose more than $12 billion a year to platforms structurally positioned against them. UpsideOnly solves that problem by creating a powerful human-AI collaboration that brings profit to both Perpetuals and its users.

UpsideOnly is built on the simple idea that AI gets smarter when it learns from human traders. As users make predictions across global financial markets such as stocks, cryptocurrencies and commodities, the algorithm folds their insights into its own analysis, producing incredibly accurate trading signals. UpsideOnly uses those signals to make market trades with its own capital and shares the winnings with the users whose predictions helped shape them.

Powering UpsideOnly is the proprietary patent-pending BayesShield AI, which is trained on more than 22 billion executed retail trades, one of the largest trading datasets ever used to train an AI model. The BayesShield algorithm learns from user predictions across global markets, combining human insight with machine-scale pattern recognition to produce trading signals neither could generate alone.

UpsideOnly lets users benefit from trading gains while eliminating risk by trading exclusively with the company's own capital – users never put up their own money for trading. This ensures users cannot incur losses. Users make predictions about where global equity, commodity, forex, and crypto markets are heading without ever placing a real trade themselves. BayesShield analyzes each person's prediction, and when the algorithm indicates that prediction is likely to be successful, UpsideOnly executes a trade with its own capital. If no trade is made, or if a trade is made and loses, the user loses nothing. If the trade wins, the company shares the profit with the user. UpsideOnly also offers additional ways for users to win money based on their overall performance for the week and month, among others.

Driving the creation of UpsideOnly is the belief that retail traders are being taken advantage of by existing trading platforms and prediction markets.

"The dominant retail trading model is not a tool. It is a trap, designed so the platform wins when you lose. I spent more than a decade inside this industry and watched the same thing happen over and over. Platforms engineered to extract money from the people who could least afford to lose it, sold to them as investing," said Patrick Gruhn, CEO of Perpetuals. "UpsideOnly completely changes this broken structure. The user brings the insight, we bring the capital, and we win together. This is what the next generation of financial platforms looks like: humans and AI teaming up on the same side of the table."

No deposit is required to make a prediction and win money on UpsideOnly, but in order to reduce the presence of bots, users who choose to put down a refundable deposit of $1 or more will receive higher payouts. Users who make even small deposits are less likely to be bots and more likely to make considered and reliable predictions. The deposit is not a trading stake and is never used for trading. The deposit is held safely in U.S. Treasury Bills in an external account by a separate U.S.-based fiduciary and can be withdrawn by the user at any time.
