Resolution source
What does Resolution source mean?
A resolution source is the specified authority, publication or data feed used to decide an event contract's outcome. It is part of the contract rules rather than an interchangeable news reference.
Example
A contract settles using a named agency's final release rather than an earlier media estimate.
Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.Why it matters for prop traders
A correct prediction about a headline can still differ from the contract's precise criterion. Check revisions, timestamps, time zones and edge cases.
Sources and further reading
The following primary sources support the terminology. Provider rules describe their own products and may change.
