BTC VWAP Directional

The strategy trades the KXBTC15M market. Every 30 seconds, it checks Bitcoin's price vs its 1-hour VWAP and 5-minute change; if momentum is up and the spread is tight, it buys a yes position of 5 contracts, and if momentum is down, it buys a no position. It exits and flips when momentum reverses, or sells everything if the unrealized loss hits $5, while only trading when the market price is between 15 and 90 cents.

A few notes on these numbers

Methodology: Backtests replay supported historical market data, usually a 30-day Studio window, and evaluate strategy rules on the available cadence. Signals can fill no earlier than the next tradable step. Taker fills use top-of-book prices or available L2 depth, with Kalshi-style fees where modeled. Queue position, latency, and future liquidity are not fully modeled. Simulated P&L is net of modeled fees over the window.
Starting capital: Kalshi backtests use the strategy's configured max position as the risk-capital denominator. Return is computed from that configured capital, while total P&L is still shown in dollars.
Past performance: Backtested results are hypothetical. They are derived from historical data and do not reflect live execution risks like slippage beyond the orderbook, partial fills, API latency, or venue outages. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Not financial advice: Nothing on this page is investment, legal, or tax advice. Prediction markets carry real risk of loss. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and do your own research before deploying any strategy live.
