Abstract
Methods and systems for conducting demand-based trading are described. In one embodiment, states are established, each state corresponding to at least one possible outcome of an event of economic significance. An investment amount may be determined as a function of a selected outcome, a desired payout, and a total amount invested in the states. In another embodiment, an investment amount may be determined as a function of parameters of a financial product. In another embodiment, a payout may be determined as a function of an investment amount, a selected outcome, a total amount invested in the states, and an identification of a state corresponding to an observed outcome of the event.
