Confidence Range

A confidence range is a practical range of probabilities a forecaster considers plausible for an outcome rather than pretending one precise estimate is unquestionably correct.

Why it matters to you

A trader might estimate: Best estimate: 60% but believe a reasonable range is: 52% to 68% If the market trades at 58%, the apparent edge may not be very compelling. If the market trades at 35%, the disagreement is much larger. Thinking in ranges helps prevent false precision.
