Future trends forecasting system
Systems and methods for future trends forecasting based on prediction market probability estimates. Alternative simulated starting values for prediction markets are used in order to determine the preferred starting values for prediction markets to use in volumetric forecasting. A user interface that facilitates using prediction market probability estimates to determine future trends forecasts is described herein.
1. A prediction market apparatus comprising:
a computer including a processor and a memory running a software providing:
a transaction interface;
administrative controls operable to provide for adjustment of a market fulcrum; and
a forecasting system;
wherein the software calculates and displays in the transaction interface a quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens associated with single action; and
wherein the forecasting system is operable to determine a forecast based on the single action and the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens is determined based on a logarithmically spaced price ladder for the stock, currency, points, or tokens, wherein the software is operable to automatically update the logarithmically spaced price ladder for the stocks, currency, points, or tokens based on the single action involving the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of sensitivity.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of liquidity.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of window.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a starting point for the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens associated with the single action is pre-defined.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the forecasting system includes a machine learning algorithm operable to transform a set of actions including the single action involving the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens into predictive data.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the forecast includes a rationale for a trend, wherein the rationale for the trend is determined utilizing a machine learning algorithm, and wherein the forecast is updated based on a subsequent action received through the transaction interface.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the forecast includes a growth likelihood, a segment or a brand, a timing, or a rationale for a trend, wherein the growth likelihood, the segment or the brand, the timing, or the rationale for the trend is calculated by the machine learning algorithm, and wherein the forecast is updated based on a subsequent action received through the transaction interface.
10. A prediction market apparatus comprising:
a computer including a processor and a memory running a software providing:
a transaction interface;
administrative controls operable to provide for adjustment of a market fulcrum; and
a forecasting system;
wherein the software calculates and displays in the transaction interface a quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens;
wherein the transaction interface further includes an interface permitting buying or selling the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens with a single action;
wherein the software is operable to determine a forecast based on a single action and the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens; and
wherein the forecasting system is operable to determine a forecast based the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens is determined based on a logarithmically spaced price ladder for the stock, currency, points, or tokens, wherein the software is operable to automatically update the logarithmically spaced price ladder for the stocks, currency, points, or tokens based on the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of sensitivity.
13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of liquidity.
14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of window.
15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a starting point for the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens is pre-defined.
16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the forecasting system includes a machine learning algorithm operable to transform a set of actions involving the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens into predictive data.
17. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the forecast includes a rationale for a trend, wherein the rationale for the trend is determined utilizing a machine learning algorithm, and wherein the forecast is updated based on a subsequent action received through the transaction interface.
18. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the forecast includes a growth likelihood, a segment or a brand, a timing, or a rationale for a trend, wherein the growth likelihood, the segment or the brand, the timing, or the rationale for the trend is calculated by the machine learning algorithm, and wherein the forecast is updated based on a subsequent action received through the transaction interface.
19. A prediction market apparatus comprising:
a computer including a processor and a memory running a software providing:
a market maker; and
a transaction interface; and
administrative controls operable to provide for adjustment of a market fulcrum;
wherein the market maker calculates and displays in the transaction interface a quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens;
wherein the market maker is operable to determine a forecast based on a single action and the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens; and
wherein the transaction interface further includes an interface permitting buying or selling the quantity of stock, currency, points, or tokens or the value of stock, currency, points, or tokens.
20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein administrative controls provide for selective adjustment of sensitivity, window, and liquidity.
