  Interested in how Kalshi works? It is the first fully regulated exchange where you can purchase and sell contracts based on the outcome of events. For example, if NASA announces a manned mission to the moon, the prices of these event contracts reflect the traders' beliefs about the likelihood of its occurrence. If you believe it will happen, you can buy contracts for it. These contracts are priced between 1¢ and 99¢ and can be sold at any time. At close, each contract is valued at $1 if your prediction is correct.

  Kalshi operates within the bounds of federal regulation as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Clearing services for Kalshi are provided by CFTC-regulated clearinghouse LedgerX LLC, which safeguards members' funds and facilitates trade clearing.

  Trade your convictions by finding markets that align with your interests and opinions. For instance, if you anticipate an impending recession, consider trading in recession and S&P markets. This way, you can confidently back your predictions with your investments.

  Use Kalshi to reduce financial risk by hedging against events that may impact your finances. If you hold stocks, consider trading in Fed and inflation markets to safeguard your portfolio.

  When comparing Kalshi to traditional stock trading, event contracts on Kalshi offer direct investment opportunities based on the outcome of an event rather than the future price of a stock. This means that your profits are not tied to a company's performance. Moreover, Kalshi does not impose pattern day trading restrictions, allowing you to trade as much or as little as desired whenever you find it suitable. Such flexibility allows for better risk management as stocks can sometimes lead to losses even if your predictions are correct, given that various factors, such as news and market sentiment, can influence stock prices.

  In contrast to options, event contracts on Kalshi enjoy simplicity. Options are complex instruments with numerous factors influencing their prices, making them challenging to predict accurately. Furthermore, options are subject to time decay and lose value over time, even if the underlying asset's price remains unchanged. In the case of Kalshi's event contracts, prices reflect traders' perceived likelihood of the event occurring.
