Is this an external deadline or just your personal target?

@jskf It’s complicated. I was told I have until August, but I don’t know if that means before August 1st or September 1st. My personal target is to go with the stricter interpretation of the deadline, but I think the case for the other interpretation is strong that I have plausible deniability and won’t get penalized, though that will damage my reputation a little.

Turns out this hasn’t incentivized me yet. 🙈 No progress since I made the question.

Is it wise for me to trade YES in this market even though that doesn’t accurately reflect my self-confidence, to better incentivize myself? Is that even ethical? Welcoming all opinions.

@TamarSpoerri Ethical: yes. Wise: maybe? Cost will not be too high, so if there's some chance it will help, could be worth doing.
