About this strategy

Trades Kalshi's presidential job-approval ladder, buying the bands priced below the RealClearPolitics approval average by a margin that clears the trading fee. Live-only.

How it works

  1. Agent triggers

    Triggered daily at 1:00 PM, scanning for price gaps in presidential approval bands on Kalshi. The run starts only during trading hours.

  2. Computes its signals

    It reads the RealClearPolitics approval average and prices the Kalshi approval ladder developing a fair value for each band. It buys only when a band trades below that value by a sufficient margin.

  3. Sets the target portfolio

    The agent builds a target portfolio of bands that are priced attractively under fair value, committing only to bands with a defined cap for each settlement date. Each position is held until settlement.

  4. Executes orders

    Your account trades toward that target, selling before buying, while adhering to the platform’s risk limits: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
