Not in the consumer sense. ForecastEx is reached through a brokerage interface, with order entry on web, mobile, a desktop trading platform, and by programming interface, rather than a separate download dedicated to prediction markets.
It is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as both a designated contract market and a clearing organization, so its forecast contracts sit within a federal framework.
Reporting indicates a fee of one cent per contract, included in the pricing, with no separate exchange or clearing fees stated. Read the current terms before you trade.
Forecast contracts on economic and macro, climate, and political outcomes, plus certain eligible sports events. Each is a yes or no contract priced between one cent and ninety nine cents.
Federal registration generally supports availability across states for the macro, climate, and politics categories, with eligible sports treated separately. Confirm the current position for your account and state.
