| What does the "flipped" icon next to some of the per-market hit-rates mean? |
|
|
The per-market hit-rates indicate absolute predictive power, in that a hit-rate below 50% is a good
contrary indicator. Hence, we invert hit-rates below 50% but display the icon to show a contrary indicator.

|
| What does the "Community Predition" mean? |
|
The prediction is shown as "Pending" before the market opens as voting is still in progress. All Consensus
View members can see the prediction for a market as soon as it opens, provided they are logged in and have
voted on the relevant market that day. If you have not voted you cannot see the prediction for the first
30 minutes after the open when it will also be shown as "Pending".
The prediction takes into account the current consensus view for the market and the historical performance
of the consensus view. A "Bullish" prediction can mean one of 2 things:
- The consensus today is bullish and has historically been correct
- The consensus today is bearish but has historically been a contrary indicator
The opposite holds true for a "Bearish" prediction. A "Neutral" prediction means that either the consensus
today is neutral (0%) or that the consensus has a historical hit-rate of 50%, which is equivalent to a
random prediction.

| When I try to vote the website says "Voting Closed" and does not allow me to
cast my vote. |
|
|
Voting starts at 02:30 AM London Time and closes at the opening of the market in question. If you
get the message "Voting Closed" it means that you are trying to cast your vote outside of this time window.

|
