About this strategy

Trades Kalshi's ISM Manufacturing and Services PMI ladders, buying the legs priced below the published consensus, cross-read against the regional Fed surveys that lead the national reading. Live-only.

How it works

  1. Agent triggers

    Starts daily at 12:35 PM, trading live only. Market conditions dictate when a run occurs.

  2. Computes its signals

    It retrieves the consensus estimates from economists and cross-checks them against the regional Fed surveys to gauge the market's pricing. It looks for discrepancies to decide on trades.

  3. Sets the target portfolio

    The target portfolio consists of positions in ISM ladders priced below the consensus, capped per release. It holds each position to settlement, forming a mix as trades occur.

  4. Executes orders

    Your account trades toward the target, sells before buys, inside the platform's risk rails: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
