Questions and Answers
What are trending prediction markets?
Each trending prediction market asks a question about a real-world event, and each of its outcomes trades as a Yes/No contract that settles when the result is known. Lumina lists 112 trending markets on this page.
Which trending markets lead this page?
The page opens with “Fed Rate Decision in December 2026?”, “Harvard University Tuition in 2026?” and “Bitcoin Price on November 13, 2026?”.
What does a Yes contract pay, and what does its price mean?
Each percentage is a contract’s last traded price. Every contract pays $1 if right, $0 if wrong, so one trading at 62¢ shows as 62%: the market’s implied probability that it happens. It’s what traders are paying, not a poll or a forecast.
How are trending markets resolved?
Each contract settles under its own rules, which name the result it goes by and the date. A contract that’s right pays $1 and one that’s wrong pays $0. The rules are on each market’s page.
What are the fees?
In addition, Lumina charges a commission equal to 0.35% of the trade value each time you buy or sell contracts, charged at the time of execution on top of the ForecastEx transaction fee. The trade value is the contract price multiplied by the number of contracts. For example, if you buy 100 contracts at $0.40, the trade value is $40.00: you pay $1.00 to ForecastEx and $0.14 to Lumina, or $1.14 in total. Interactive Brokers LLC, which carries your account, retains a portion of Lumina’s commission. Lumina receives a rebate equal to one-quarter (25% or $0.0025) of the ForecastEx transaction fee. This rebate is Lumina’s share of the exchange’s transaction fee. It is not a separate or additional charge added on top of what the customer pays. The Fee Disclosure lists every charge.
