About this strategy

Trades Kalshi's US retail-sales and housing-starts ladders, buying the legs priced below the published economist consensus by a margin that clears the fee. Live-only.

How it works

  1. Agent triggers

    A run starts daily at 12:45 PM, scanning Kalshi's market for US retail sales and housing starts. The market data is live-only, ensuring timely decision-making.

  2. Computes its signals

    It reads economists' published consensus alongside the actual market prices, evaluating discrepancies to identify tradable legs. It targets only those priced below fair value by a margin covering trading costs.

  3. Sets the target portfolio

    Each position represents a small slice in the overall target mix, with exposure limited to a single release. It sizes positions conservatively to manage risk across releases.

  4. Executes orders

    Your account trades toward the target, selling before buying, and operates within the platform's risk limits: stop-loss and daily loss limits you control.
