Settlement rules

How settlement works on NordCast

A market is only useful if users understand how it resolves. NordCast should use news to move prices, but official sources to settle outcomes whenever possible.

Users, journalists and market creators who want confidence that outcomes are not arbitrary.

The clean settlement hierarchy

News can move a price aggressively when a story is clearly reported. Official government, statistical, sports, company or event sources should decide final settlement.

Early settlement

If the official outcome is known before the close date, the market should settle immediately. Users should not have to wait until the listed date when the result is already official.

Source examples

Danish politics should use Kongehuset, Statsministeriet, Regeringen.dk and Folketinget. Macro markets should use Statistics Denmark, SCB, SSB and central banks. F1 markets should use FIA or Formula 1 classifications.

Usually no. News can inform prices, but official sources should settle whenever a public official source exists.

What happens if sources disagree?

The market rule should name the hierarchy. If confidence is low, the market should remain awaiting resolution.
