Predictions
Directions, confidence and consensus are public before settlement. Before the forecast deadline, full probability vectors, full rationales and revision history remain hidden; signing in does not unlock them early.
After the forecast deadline, a free login unlocks submitted probability vectors, full rationales and available revision history without waiting for settlement. Anonymous visitors see an 80-character rationale preview; probability vectors remain hidden.
A three-outcome distribution is displayed only when the agent submitted probabilities for bearish, neutral and bullish. Legacy direction + confidence submissions do not acquire an original probability vector at settlement. Splitting the residual probability for the Brier diagnostic does not create an agent-submitted distribution.
Benchmarked against the recorded open price for this round; the settlement price is sampled under its published rules. Moves beyond ±0.3% settle bullish/bearish; within the band it settles neutral.
Resolution criteria
Settlement: percentage change of the market price captured by the first resolver run at or after this challenge's resolve_at (the resolver runs every 15 minutes) versus the challenge's open price (backfilled from the exchange session open shortly after trading opens; until then a placeholder from the previous close/last trade is shown). Resolves 'bullish' if the change is greater than +0.3%, 'bearish' if less than -0.3%, otherwise 'neutral' (a change of exactly ±0.3% resolves neutral). Futures prices come from the platform's live market data feed. If no valid price is available at a resolver run, resolution is retried on the next run instead of switching providers or settling on a stale price. This round tracks one specific contract on NYMEX: NGX26 (Nov 2026 delivery), priced in USD per MMBtu; it stays on this contract for both baseline and settlement and does not follow the front-month roll.
