Market Context & Data Summary

Event: Will more than 1,800,000 people be screened by the TSA on average this week?

Implied P(YES) (mid): 99% | YES/NO spreads: 0.0¢ / 2.0¢ | Overround (asks): 2.0% | Underround (bids): 2.0%.

Orderbook skew: - Significant skew towards the YES side with a notable depth observed at the YES ask of 1.00 USD and a bid at 0.98 USD, indicating strong demand at these levels, but minimal liquidity at NO (0.0 bid, 0.02 ask).

External context: - TSA reported an increase in traveler numbers with significant upticks in air travel post-pandemic. (TSA) - Seasonal travel trends show growth during autumn months, further corroborating higher screening numbers. (Airlines for America) - Current macroeconomic factors, including employment rates and consumer spending, support rising travel activity. (BLS)


View & Probability

Analyst P(YES): 95%.

Rationale: Given current trends in travel and the historical data indicating increased screenings during this period, we believe the probability is lower than implied but still significantly weighted towards YES.


Actionable Trading Recommendations

- Entry: 0.99 USD
- Invalid/Stop: 0.98 USD
- Target: 1.02 USD
- Thesis: Strong seasonal travel trends likely to hold above 1.8 million screenings.
- Key risks/catalysts: Possible downturns in unexpected travel restrictions, economic downturn influencing discretionary travel, or sharp declines in consumer confidence.

Idea 2 — Consider Short NO Position
- Entry: 0.02 USD
- Invalid/Stop: 0.04 USD
- Target: 0.01 USD
- Thesis: Minimal probability of NO scenario based on current demand trends for screenings.
- Key risks/catalysts: Overwhelmingly low traveler demand could prompt downward revisions.
