Trading has Ended
- Trading often ends before the real-world event ends. This is because our goal at ProphetShares is to reward predicting the Outcomes, not reporting them.
- Once a correct Outcome for a Market is known, ProphetShares will resolve that Market.
- Players will receive P$ 100 for every share of the correct Outcome they owned when the Market ended. All shares of the incorrect Outcome(s) will expire at P$ 0.
-
- In our example Market "Will the Kansas City Chiefs win the AFC West?", you own 150 shares of "Yes" that you bought for P$ 10,000.
- Fast-forward to the end of the season and the Chiefs have won their division for the 9th straight year. ProphetShares will resolve the Market with "Yes" as the correct Outcome. “Yes” will be priced at P$ 100 and “No” will be priced at P$ 0.
- Congratulations! You will receive P$ 100 for each of the 150 shares you owned when the Market ended. P$ 15,000 (150 shares * P$ 100) is credited to your account for a gain of P$ 5,000 on this prediction!
- Had you picked a different (incorrect) Outcome, your shares would have expired with a value of P$ 0 and you would have lost P$ 10,000 on this prediction.
-
- P$ received from a resolved Market can be used to predict other Markets.
