It's always fair to wait and think deeply about decisions on what to trade and where to put your money! Please let me know if I can answer any questions or if I can help with anything in the meantime :) Here are some articles about us that might be interesting...

Well it's just a matter of size. The CME contracts are equivalent to buying 20 of our contracts. The benefit of having a 0-1 price range is that you can think about it directly as the probability of the event happening (probabilities go from 0-1 so it's the same principle here). We don't allow...

The winnings are distributed 1-2 hours after determination, the settlement time for each market can be found on the specific market page. The funds you win get added directly to you Kalshi account and you can withdraw directly from there. The money you deposit/win at Kalshi is held by the...

We aren't 100% set on the timeline, but I believe in the next year we should start opening to other countries as well

Thank you for the kind words! Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with anything :)

Thanks for the questions! 1. A) You can make any trade by selecting the market you want to trade on and placing a limit/quick order. If you mean how you can start a new contract, you can just DM me here or email support@kalshi.com your contract idea and we'll work on adding it to the exchange...

Is anyone trading NFP tomorrow? How are you doing that?

Anyone here trading fed funds futures? What's a typical play?

Depends on the market. A number of our markets have 1 tick wide spreads, and orderbook depth is ramping up. We have a number of participants that provide liquidity on t Yes events are much harder to hedge. However, there are a number of bank desks that offer exotics products that aim to offer...

Did you trade on either? Would love to hear about how the experience was like! What were the spreads like? And do you have a sense of why they didn't improve over time?

Thank you so much for the kind words! Your counterparty on Kalshi is other traders/companies that go through our KYC process and are vetted by our compliance processes. All the money from every trade is held by our partner clearing house (which is also CFTC regulated) in a segregated custody...

Goldman actually still offers products very similar to ours via their exotics desk, but you need to be their client to be able to trade those. What do you mean by natural axes?

We have a lot of traders providing liquidity in different markets. Some of the traders are small funds that specialize in market making for event contracts. However, everyone can market make, we have an API that makes that really simple if you're interested. How wide the markets are really...

Schwab himself was part of one of our funding rounds, as you can see reported in the Wall Street Journal. We're a regulated exchange and work with a CFTC regulated clearing house, and all user funds in a segregated custory account at a US bank. When you get into a position we have the funds...

I'm sorry this is my personal number and I was in a meeting when you probaly called. If you want to call back I'd love to chat. Here are a few articles about us where you can find more info...

Got it - thank you all so much for the feedback. I'm sure there are a lot of REST APIs/Websocket options out there, so I'm just curious what made you pick the service that you wound up going with. Was there a particular standout feature, or did you just pick it because it seemed like a popular...

Yes you can suggest markets. Markets need to fall within the bounds of what we're allowed to regulatory wise (needs to have economic purpose). Insider trading: like NYSE, CME, etc. we have surveillance systems and an investigation department. We run the same heuristics and rules as any of the...

How are you currently expressing this opinion via your trading?

How are you currently playing high impact events like FOMC decisions, CPI prints, debt ceiling, etc.? My name is Tarek Mansour and I am the CEO and founder of Kalshi. Backed by Charles Schwab, and Sequoia Capital, Kalshi is the first US federally regulated exchange that allows traders to trade...

Has anyone here tried directly trading on the FOMC decisions? How do you usually do it?
