Resolution Source: The resolution source is the official data or publication a market uses to decide its outcome, such as a government statistics release or an official sports result.

What it means

The resolution source is the official data or publication a market uses to decide its outcome, such as a government statistics release or an official sports result.

Example

A CPI market might settle on the figure published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, not on news headlines or forecasts.

Practical tip

Two markets that sound the same can use different sources or cut-off times. Always check the market rules.
