Every day, participants answer Yes or No for each company. Participants also set their confidence level from 1% to 100%. Submit before 1:00 PM IST to predict that same day’s close. Predictions are scored after market close. The leaderboard updates as results come in. Simple Timing Rule: If you vote before 1:00 PM IST, your prediction is for that day’s close and is scored against the previous trading day’s close. If you vote after 1:00 PM IST, your prediction moves to the next trading day’s close and is scored against the current trading day’s close. In short: Before 1:00 PM = today’s prediction. After 1:00 PM = next trading day’s prediction.
