Kalshi
This event tracks the number of formal presidential directives signed within a specific timeframe. It focuses on official documents that carry the weight of law and are publicly recorded. The outcome depends solely on the count of these directives during the designated dates.
The event resolves based on the number of executive orders signed by the President between August 30, 2026, and September 5, 2026. An executive order must be formally titled, numbered, signed by the President, published in the Federal Register, and possess the force of law to count. The signing date recorded in the Federal Register determines inclusion, even if publication occurs later. Contracts expire two weeks after the period ends, with possible early expiration if relevant orders are published afterward. Three separate outcome thresholds exist: above zero, above one, and above two orders signed within the period.
Compared to polling averages, this market often prices in a narrower range of outcomes, reflecting traders’ real-time interpretation of news and administrative capacity. While polls may show broader public expectations, traders incorporate official schedules, historical signing patterns, and media reports. This can lead to divergence when unexpected events occur, such as last-minute announcements or delays. Monitoring both sources provides a fuller picture of where consensus may shift before Sep 19, 2026.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, traders set the odds through continuous bidding and asking, with prices adjusting to balance buy and sell orders. The top outcome’s implied probability reflects the collective view of market participants about how many executive orders will be signed. Volume of $44,047 shows liquidity levels, while price volatility often spikes around major news events or official press briefings that could affect expectations for executive action this week.
This market resolves around Sep 19, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the exact count of executive orders signed between 8/30 and 9/5 is verifiable from credible public reporting. Official White House records, reputable news outlets, and government archives will be used to determine the final number. The market settles based on this verified tally, ensuring an objective and transparent resolution process for all participants.
Key signals that could shift this market include official presidential schedules, press briefings announcing new actions, or delays in administrative processing. Media coverage of policy priorities and any emergency measures may also influence trader sentiment. Additionally, commentary from advisors or legislative updates could affect expectations, especially if they hint at accelerated or reduced signing activity before the week ends.
