Prediction Contract
A prediction contract is a tradable contract whose value depends on whether a specified future outcome occurs. Depending on the market structure, the contract may settle at a predefined value if the outcome occurs and another value if it does not.
Why it matters to you
When you trade a prediction market, you are not simply making a prediction. You are buying or selling a financial position whose value changes as the market's assessment of the outcome changes.
