The wording that changes how or when the contract settles — which data source and which print, the exact metric, rounding, date boundaries, void conditions.
WTI 15-minuteResolves YES if the 1-minute candlestick close price of WTI Oil on Pyth (PYTHOIL) at the end of the settlement window is greater than or equal to the 1-minute candlestick close price of PYTHOIL at the start of that window, denominated in USD per unit.4 traps
- Pyth PYTHOIL is the sole data source — Settlement uses only Pyth's PYTHOIL feed — not CME, Bloomberg, or any other WTI benchmark — so discrepancies between sources don't matter; only the Pyth print counts.
- Specific 1-minute candle closes, not window open/high/low — Only the close prices of the two individual 1-minute candlesticks (one at the start and one at the end of the 15-minute window) are compared — intra-window price action is irrelevant.
- "At least" means equal price resolves YES — The comparison is ≥ (greater than or equal to), so if the close at the end of the window exactly equals the close at the start, the contract resolves YES, not NO.
- Cadence is every 15 minutes; no single fixed time — This is a repeating 15-minute series — the specific candle timestamps shift each contract, so traders must confirm the exact start and end candle times for the contract they are trading.
