10PROBABILITY FORECAST

UPSIDE PROBABILITY (166D)

50/ 100

Modeled 166-day distribution implies roughly a ±38.7% one-sigma range with a 49.5% probability of an upside resolution. Probability-based market intelligence — not a forecast guarantee.

BULL / BASE / BEAR SCENARIOS

BULL · 28%+54.1% → 72.1

Evidence accumulates toward YES; the contract re-rates toward settlement value.

BASE · 44%+3.5% → 21.5

The probability drifts near current pricing until decisive evidence lands.

BEAR · 28%-54.1% → 1

Evidence accumulates toward NO; the contract decays toward zero at the deadline.

11STRATEGY IMPACT

BEST-FIT RESEARCH STRUCTURE

Small fixed-cost YES/NO study sized to full-loss tolerance (binary defined-risk research)

DEFINED-RISK SIZING GUIDE

Suggested max risk ≤ 0.5% of research capital. Binary payoffs justify only a fraction of normal risk budget: the entire stake is the defined max risk.

INVALIDATION

Binary contracts have no stop level — the position resolves to full value or zero at settlement. The only risk control is sizing to full-loss tolerance and exiting on evidence shifts before the deadline.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG

The contract resolves to zero — the entire stake is the defined max risk.

Resolution-rule ambiguity settles the contract against the apparent outcome.

Thin order books make exits before settlement expensive or impossible.

New evidence can gap the implied probability with no chance to adjust.
