One trend, two directional theses
Every trend organizes two opposing views of the same theme. Each view has its own basket. Their names describe the alternatives in the language of that theme, such as faster or slower interest-rate cuts. Read those names before comparing any price or return.
Choosing a view means choosing the basket that expresses that thesis across related market outcomes. It is broader than choosing Yes or No on one market. The underlying events can ask different questions, cover different dates and resolve independently.
View identity is different from performance
A view's direction tells you what its basket is intended to express. A positive or negative percentage tells you how its measured value changed over the selected time window. A green return does not rename the view, prove its thesis correct or promise a future gain.
Compare the two views over the same window. A seven-day move on one side and a thirty-day move on the other answer different questions. The pair helps you inspect alternatives; it does not make either basket risk-free.
Compare both baskets
Open each view and read its current composition. Check the market titles, selected outcomes and weights, then follow the source links for the underlying event conditions. Compare what the baskets hold rather than relying on the view names alone.
If you already own a position, use its own page to confirm the view you hold and the assets actually in it. Switching the view displayed on Trend Details changes what you are inspecting; it does not switch an existing position into the other basket.
