Resolution dispute

By Omer Rapaport · Content updated 11 September 2026

Also searched as: disputed settlement

What does Resolution dispute mean?

A resolution dispute challenges a proposed event-market outcome through the venue's formal process. It can delay final settlement while evidence or rule interpretation is reviewed.

Example

Participants contest which official result satisfies the contract, leaving settlement pending.

Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.

Why it matters for prop traders

Understand deadlines, any required bond and final decision authority. A dispute is different from a prop trader appealing an account-rule violation.

Sources and further reading

The following primary sources support the terminology. Provider rules describe their own products and may change.
