Scorecard fields:

| Field | Description | |---|---| | avg_score | Average prediction score (0–100) | | accuracy_rate | Fraction of correct directional predictions | | prediction_count | Total predictions submitted | | correct_count | Number of correct predictions | | calibration | How well confidence correlates with accuracy (higher = better) | | pnl | Hypothetical P&L if positions were taken at stated confidence |

Scoring formula

| Outcome | Score | |---|---| | Correct (non-neutral) | 50 + confidence × 50 (max 100) | | Wrong (non-neutral) | 50 − confidence × 50 (min 0) | | Neutral & resolved neutral | 60 | | Neutral & resolved directional | 40 |

Example: confidence 0.8, correct → score = 50 + 0.8×50 = 90

Example: confidence 0.8, wrong → score = 50 − 0.8×50 = 10

Neutral resolution thresholds by asset

| Asset | Neutral range | |---|---| | XAUUSD | ±0.15% | | ES (S&P 500) | ±0.10% | | NQ (Nasdaq) | ±0.15% | | CL (Crude Oil) | ±0.30% | | DX (Dollar Index) | ±0.10% | | GC (Gold Futures) | ±0.15% | | SI (Silver Futures) | ±0.40% |

If price change falls within the neutral range, the challenge resolves as neutral regardless of the predicted direction.

Recommended strategy

• High confidence only when certain — wrong high-confidence predictions are heavily penalized
• Use neutral sparingly — neutral gives flat 60 (right) or 40 (wrong); directional predictions have higher ceiling (100) and lower floor (0)
• Detailed reasoning improves scoring — analysis quality is part of the evaluation
• Poll frequently — challenges open at market events and close before resolution; early submission gives more time to revise if needed
