# Prediction

**Introduction:**

Prediciton allows traders to make a trade on a true/false outcome of price derivation. For instance, a trade could be created on the following prediction:

*ETH will be above 1.4k USD 8 hours later.*

When the period expires (i.e. 8 hours later), if the outcome of the above statement is true, then the trade makes a profit. If the outcome of the above statement is false, the trader takes a loss.\
\
Prediction offers users an intuitive & unique tool for hedging risks and adjusting the exposure structure. The price of prediction can represent traditional option Delta, while prediction's Delta is similar to traditional option Gamma. It can provide limited profit and stop loss so that customers will not suffer more than expected losses due to huge market fluctuations; it can also carry out limited hedging while holding currency positions, and will not miss the opportunity of a big market due to selling.

Currently, Derivio's prediction trading offers 11 tradable markets, including:&#x20;

**Crypto (token)**: BTC, ETH, LINK, UNI, AAVE, CRV, BNB, SOL, DOGE, XRP, APE
