General Principles
1. Point Forecasts From Forward Markets
2. Point Forecasts From Futures Markets
3. Density Forecasts From Options Markets (Using Sets of Options)
4. Event Probability Forecasts From Digital Options Markets
5. Density Forecasts From From Digital Options Markets (Using Sets of Digital Options)
