Experimental, I hope this works out!

Every option is a threshold, not a bucket, so some of them overlap. When this market reaches 20 traders, I will calculate "(time from market creation to reach 20 traders) divided by (time from market creation to reach 10 traders)". All options that apply to the result will resolve YES, all others will resolve NO.

No guarantee for the AI claims below:

  • Update 2025-10-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market has multiple answer options where "At least 2" includes "at least 3" and all higher values. The market will resolve to either "below 2" or "at least 2" (not both).

  • Update 2025-10-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The calculation will be: (time from market creation to reach 20 traders) divided by (time from market creation to reach 10 traders)

Both time measurements start from market creation, not from when 10 traders was reached.

When do you count the 20 traders time? When 10 traders or when market starts?

@Gabu I will calculate "(time from market creation to reach 20 traders) divided by (time from market creation to reach 10 traders)" and resolve to that number.

@4fa ok

bought Ṁ10 NO

Look at the expected

@Gabu Yeah, the expected value is off right after betting, unfortunately. Reloading the page sometimes helps.

bought Ṁ25 YES

Can't we just bet no to everything

sold Ṁ0 NO

@Gabu You can absolutely do that, if you want.

Does at least 2 include at least 3. In other words will it resolve as below 2 or at least 2?

@TonyBaloney "At least 2" includes "at least 3" and the market will resolve either "below 2" or "at least 2". I can compensate you for your losses in case that was misleading.

@4fa No worries. That makes sense and I should have read it better. It might be clearer in the rules because it’s an unusual structure.

bought Ṁ5 NO

Expected value seems to be off – that's what I get for mixing "below" and "above" thresholds…

Edit: Huh, now it looks okay.

Edit: Seems to be off right after trading and okay right after reloading the page.
