HOW KALSHI WORKS
Kalshi is the first regulated exchange where you can buy and sell contracts on the outcome of events. For example, NASA announced a manned mission to the moon. Contract prices reflect the view of traders as to the chances of the event happening. You think it's going to happen, so you buy contracts for it. Contracts cost between 1¢ to 99¢, and can be sold at any time. At close, each contract is worth $1 if you’re right.
HOW IS KALSHI REGULATED?
Kalshi is federally regulated as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). LedgerX LLC is a CFTC regulated clearinghouse that provides clearing services for Kalshi. The clearinghouse holds members funds and clears trades.
TRADE YOUR CONVICTIONS
Find markets that align with your interests and opinions. For example, if you think a recession is coming, trade recession and S&P markets. You can finally put your money where your mouth is.
REDUCE FINANCIAL RISK
Hedge against events that might affect your finances. For example, if you hold stocks, trade Fed and inflation markets to protect your portfolio.
KASHI VS. STOCKS
Event contracts are more direct. You trade on the outcome of an event, not the future price of a stock. This means your profits are not tied to the company’s performance. No pattern day trading restrictions. You can trade as much or as little as you want, whenever you want. This gives you more flexibility to manage your risk. In stocks, you can be right and still lose money. The price of a stock is not always based on fundamentals. Other factors, like news or market sentiment, can also affect it.
KALSHI VS. OPTIONS
Event contracts are simpler. Options are complex instruments with many factors that affect their price, making them difficult to predict. Free from time decay. Contract prices reflect the view of traders as to the chances of the event happening, while options lose value over time even if the underlying asset doesn't change in price.
