🛠 Saturday Tool Spotlight: Reading Resolution Rules Before You Trade Saturday spotlight: the one habit that saves more NO trades than any indicator — reading the resolution rules before you size. WHY IT MATTERS A signal tells you which side has the edge. The resolution page tells you what NO actually means. Two markets with near-identical questions can settle on completely different criteria — timestamp vs daily close, official source vs aggregator, deadline default vs explicit confirmation. THREE THINGS TO CHECK EVERY TIME 1. The settlement source. Who decides the outcome, and from what data? A "price above $X" market resolving on a specific exchange's timestamp behaves very differently from one using a daily average. 2. 2. The deadline default. Many binaries resolve NO automatically if the YES condition isn't explicitly met by the deadline. Confirm whether silence resolves NO — that's often where the structural edge lives. 3. 3. Edge cases. What happens on a tie, a postponement, or a cancelled event? Read the fine print so a technicality doesn't surprise you. HOW TO USE IT Before entering any signal, open the market link, scroll to the resolution section, and read it twice. Confirm what NO requires, check the YES price hasn't drifted above 50¢, then size with fractional Kelly. A signal is a measured edge across a sample — not a guarantee. Reading resolution rules is how you make sure the edge you see is the edge you actually trade. Learn more in The EdgeFinder Foundation course — Classroom tab above.
