Kalshi: Trade on Headlines Reviews

I’m in the process right now of turning $120 into nearly $400 off the kingdom of planet of the apes movie because I’m familiar with the series and knew it was gonna be good far above a 75 rotten tomatoes. Kalshi is excellent. I’ve always wanted something like this where you could trade on the success of a video game or something that you know would be great. This might be the key to achieving real financial independence which is very difficult for a young man and today’s world and I’m diving in baby!

This asset class is everything I’ve been waiting for in terms of trading. You can trade directly on opinions on all sorts of things without worrying about adverse selection or whether your counter-parties have more information than you. Expanding commodity futures to include all sorts of real and tangible things is elegant and beautiful.

Kalshi and interface itself is incredibly clean and balances function with simplicity really well. The this app team outdid themselves again.

It can be, for a lack of a better word, glitchy at times. For example, I’ve tried to deposit money several times and it says to wait until the previous funds have been deposited. I’ve been waiting for days and it keeps saying this.

Edit: customer support did in fact help me out. It can take a few days to completely process my bank transfer. I’m satisfied.

Kalshi has basically all of the functionality of the desktop version - the only bug I can find is that last price on Kalshi (eg what's shown between bids and asks in the order book, or in "Activity" tab, and a few other places) is always the "yes" price, even when looking at "no"s. This differs from web behavior.

Often when trading stocks I found myself thinking A) if event X is going to happen in the world then B) which stocks are likely to go up vs down?

With Events trading I’m actually able to just make a trade based on the world event itself - with no indirection. This makes the whole process of trading a lot simpler and more accessible for me

I have been a this app user for 2+ years and very happy with the range of markets they offer. They iterate fast and have added a ton of features to the site in a short time. And the team is very open to feedback, which keeps the fun going with new markets. As they are CFTC approved, I feel quite comfortable trading over there.

Support responds quickly and the team is always available. App has been getting better over time. Awesome platform. Just wish the fees were a little lower for takers (goes as high as 5% right now)

Finally a product that allows investing in speculative situations!

I’ve always found investing in the market can be kind of boring, so I really enjoy being able to invest in other things.

I just install Kalshi and I love the features and the one best feature on the events is how the percentage of the trade outcome is going to be. I’m definitely going to invest and trade with you guys!!

The option terms changed while the market was open to exclude a surprise double album release. This left a two hour gap in which the option terms were met and should have closed. Scummy move.

I do not trust a company that doesn’t respect events as they happen.

Glad Kashi app finally launched. Kalshi itself is simple and easy to scan and trade various markets I am interested. Highly recommend for someone who is looking for new type of investment

I’ve used Kalshi for a week or so and I’m loving it so far. I love all of the different features and topics you can get into as well. Well done.

I think this will be the future of trading. I love that I can hedge the various risks I face. It also helps that’s Kalshi is really beautiful and easy to use

I love that I can trade exactly on the things I think about - inflation, interest rates, etc. I had a really easy time learning about how to use this app as well!

Super interesting concept with a solid app that’s straight forward and easy to use.

Highly intuitive app which opens the door for an entirely new concept in portfolios. Will be using frequently.

Amazing platform that offers something I haven’t seen anywhere else!

Clean, easy to use, fast. Great way to explore the world of events contracts. I encourage everyone to try it out. You will not disappointed!

App was easy to use and had a variety of interesting contracts to trade!

For years, I have been yearning for a way to blow the last of my inheritance in a mask of intellectualism. Event trading has filled that niche.

I’m a little guy just playing around with little money and I don’t like on Kalshi set up like I literally got to spend 100 I don’t even have that in my account. I’m just a small fry playing in a small pool so I have to use. Unfortunately the bookmark app on my iPhone to bookmark the main site because that’s the way it’s done where I can just buy singles and at my low bottom of the barrel price you guys need to fix that

Events trading is really sick. I’ve added them to my portfolio as a way to get more precise exposure on a number of factors that go into a stock. I wouldn’t be surprised if this trading instrument becomes massive.

The company has a lot of educational material, which made it easy to onboard and trade safely. I also like that there is no leverage right now, which makes it simpler and more safe. But I hope the company introduces leverage later down the line as traders build a track record.

Kalshi flows well. It’s easy to understand and manage one’s exposure. I also like using the order book functionality: it’s much better than other brokers like IBKR for example, where the interface is so confusing and convoluted.
