Trading event contracts involves risk, including the risk of losing the full amount committed to a position. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and review [Risk, security and support](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/risk-security-and-support/) before you start.

STX provides tools in the app to help you manage your trading. You choose whether to use them and which settings to apply.

## Tools you can use

- **[Trading limits](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/trading-limits/):** set limits on deposits, the amount you can have at risk, losses and time spent on STX.
- **[Cool off period](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/cool-off-period/):** take a short break from trading.
- **[Self-exclusion](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/self-exclusion/):** stop trading on STX for a longer period.
- **[Limit history](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/limit-history/):** see the limits you have set.
- **[Closing your account](https://help.stxapp.io/articles/closing-your-account/):** close your account if you no longer want to use STX.
