Different Types of Event Contracts on Webull

Event Contracts on Webull let you trade predictions across financial markets, economic events, cryptocurrencies, and sports using simple Yes or No positions.

Event Contracts allow you to trade on the outcomes of real-world events using simple Yes or No positions. On Webull, these contracts span financial markets, macroeconomic events, cryptocurrencies, and sports. Trade on your time with prediction markets open each day and over the weekend.

Below is an overview of the main types of Event Contracts available on Webull.

‌

1. Index Event Contracts

Index Event Contracts let you trade predictions on major stock indices such as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.

Hourly Index Contracts allow traders to express a view on short-term market movements, with outcomes resolving every hour. These contracts are designed for:

Responding quickly to intraday market moves
Hedging short-term risk
Speculating on changing market expectations in real-time.

By buying “Yes” or “No,” you’re trading whether an index will be above or below a specified level at a specific time.

2. Cryptocurrency Event Contracts

Crypto Event Contracts focus on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

With Crypto Hourlies, traders can:

Trade short-term crypto price movements
React to volatility and market momentum
Express directional views without leverage

Each contract resolves based on whether the crypto price meets a defined condition at a given time, making it easier to manage risk throughout the trading day.

3. Economic Event Contracts

Economic Event Contracts are centered around key macroeconomic events—most notably Federal Reserve decisions and major U.S. economic data releases.

Common macro-related contracts include:

Whether the Fed will cut, hike, or hold rates at an upcoming meeting
How many rate cuts may occur over a year
U.S. economic data outcomes such as CPI inflation and GDP growth releases

These contracts move as new information is released—before and after policy decisions or data announcements—allowing traders to adjust their positions as expectations evolve. They are designed for those who want exposure to macro themes without trading traditional bonds or derivatives.

4. Sports Event Contracts

Sports Event Contracts allow you to trade predictions across major sports using market-based pricing rather than fixed odds.

Available contract types include:

Single-game contracts (winner, spread, total points)
Futures contracts (championship winners, season awards like MVP)
Combo contracts, which combine multiple outcomes into a single contract

These markets let you express views on both short-term game results and long-term season outcomes, all through Yes/No contracts that settle based on real-world results.

Bringing It All Together

Across all categories, Event Contracts on Webull share a common structure:

Simple Yes / No positions
Prices that reflect market-implied probabilities
Clearly defined maximum risk and payout

Whether you’re tracking intraday market moves, macroeconomic decisions, crypto volatility, or sports outcomes, Event Contracts offer a flexible way to trade predictions across a wide range of events.
