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.

Does not support

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.

How the desk reads this family
Read depth before price

A move on ten dollars of volume is not a signal.

Check the resolution criteria

What the contract actually settles on, not what the ticker implies.

Compare across venues

One book pricing an outcome oddly is a venue problem, not a finding.

State the falsifier

The liquidity or resolution event that would undo the read.

Known blind spots
  • Contracts with no meaningful depth
  • Ambiguous or disputed settlement criteria
  • Venues the desk cannot verify for wash trading
