This trades Kalshi's KXZEC15M market, checking conditions every 10 seconds with a maximum of 5 contracts and prices between 0.05 and 0.99. It sells an existing YES or NO position if that side's best bid falls to 0.55 or below, and it buys 5 contracts of YES or NO when there is no open position, 30 seconds or less remain, the spread is 0.03 or tighter, and the relevant ask sits between 0.91 and 0.99. Rules are checked in order and the first match ends that tick.

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.
