What Is a Forecast Market? | HiYesNo Academy
A forecast market is usually a market where prices and expectations form around future events, data, or outcomes. It is close to a prediction market because both turn distributed views into observable probability signals.
On HiYesNo, the goal is not to find certain answers, but to understand how market questions, price movement, participant views, and resolution rules form an information signal.
