Prediction & odds
A price is a market’s guess at a discrete event, not the event itself. The desk reads the number and the depth behind it together.
What a priced, resolvable market expects of a discrete event, recorded with the book depth behind the price.
A forecast in the ordinary sense. Thin books price attention as much as odds, and a resolvable contract is not always resolvable the way the question implies.
What decision-relevant condition can prediction evidence establish before a published report catches up?
- Observe
- Event market implied probability: What a priced market expects of a discrete event.
- Boundary
- thin books price attention as much as odds
- Breaks the read
- A source receipt that cannot reproduce the observation, or a result that conflicts with this family’s stated boundary, is held rather than promoted into a desk conclusion.
No matching illustrated investigation is currently packaged for this record. The method remains open; a reporting card appears only when a durable article exists.
No item from this family cleared publication this cycle.
A move on ten dollars of volume is not a signal.
What the contract actually settles on, not what the ticker implies.
One book pricing an outcome oddly is a venue problem, not a finding.
The liquidity or resolution event that would undo the read.
- Contracts with no meaningful depth
- Ambiguous or disputed settlement criteria
- Venues the desk cannot verify for wash trading
