1. by [specific moment]: The event must have happened before that specific moment. eg. by March 23, 11:59 PM ET. A useful way to specify a moment is to say "start of [date range]" (eg. by start of 2026) or "end of [date range]" (eg. by EOY 2025).

2. by [day]: We recommend not using this term (use "before" or "in" instead). Meaning must be inferred from likely intend of market creator. eg. usually, "by March 31" == "Before April" == "by April 1st"

3. by [year]: We recommend not using this term. The market's "close time" may indicate what the market creator intended.
