Every major online retailer including Amazon, AirBnB, eBay & Wal-Mart.com charge sellers a 15% standard selling fee.

Trade Edge charges the same 15% seller fee - except it takes about 10% of the 15% standard selling fee and gives it back to you free in the form of a free event to get 50%, 35%, or 20% off.

What Are Events?

Answer:

In 2020 the CFTC legalized events and event trading as an asset class.

Events are trading contracts that allow users to speculate on the outcome of a yes or no question about a future event. Event contracts are available on various topics, including Politics, Crypto, Financial Indices, Weather, Inflation, Student loans, Climate change, The Oscars, Music festivals, and U.S. Supreme Court cases.

Here's how event contracts work: 

Price
The price of an event contract is based on the market's assessment of the likelihood of the event happening. The price ranges from 1% to 99%. 
Trading
Traders buy contracts based on whether they think the answer to the question will be yes or no. 
Payout
If the trader's prediction is correct, they receive the full $1 contract price. 
Market price
The price of an event contract is set by supply and demand. If the market believes an event is likely to happen, the price will go up.  Prices are largely determined by the expected probability of an event occurring, for example, an event priced at $0.90c implies a 90% chance the event will happen.  If a purchaser buys the contract at $0.90c the most they could gain would be $0.10c while risking $0.90c if the event does not occur.  Conversely, the seller of the same contract would collect $0.90c if the event does not happen while risking $0.10c. 
Spread
The spread is the amount over $1 that the price of a YES and NO contract add up to. A low spread means that lots of people are trading and the price is less likely to swing. 

Events for U.S. customers are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a U.S. government oversight body.

How Can Trade Edge Provide 50%, 35%, or 20% Off With Events?

  • 50% Off: To offer 50% off, we search for the most interesting events priced at around 20% Implied Odds.  For example on a $100 purchase, Trade Edge takes $10 paid by the seller.  If the event wins, your refund = $50.

 

  • 35% Off: To offer 35% off, Trade Edge searches for the most interesting events priced at around 40% Implied Odds.  For example on a $100 purchase, Trade Edge takes 10% of the $100 paid by the seller and places your selected event for $10.  If the event wins, your refund = $35.09.

 

  • 20% Off: To offer 20% off, Trade Edge searches for the most interesting events priced at around 50% Implied Odds.  For example on a $100 purchase, Trade Edge takes 10% of the $100 paid by the seller and places your selected event for $10.  If the event wins, your refund = $20.00.

 

  • Watch The Event Trade: Before the expiration of the event, the event will trade live and move in price as the probabilities of the event occurring change.  As the purchaser, you can experience the thrill & excitement of watching the event trade and your full control if you choose to trade out of the event prior to expiration.

 

Ability to select events that hedge risks, for example:

  • Stock ownership: An individual who owns stocks has financial risks when the stock market goes down, and may choose to place an event trade that pays them if market indices should fall.
  • Bitcoin: An individual who owns Bitcoin has financial risks when the price of Bitcoin goes down and may choose to place an event trade that pays them if Bitcoin should fall, or markets change increasing risks to the downside.
  • Weather risks: A purchaser may have weather risks if different weather conditions lead to a loss of revenue or inclement weather for a vacation trip.
  • CPI risks: Rising price increases can result in lower income, event hedges are typically available to pay an individual if consumer prices rise as measured by the CPI.
