Reviews: What People Think About Kalshi: Trade the Future

Rating: 5/5
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.
The app 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.

I've been using the Kalshi app for a while now, and unfortunately, it has been a pretty underwhelming experience. The biggest issue is the extremely low liquidity. It’s difficult to find markets with enough participants, and even when you do, the order books are so thin that getting in or out of a position without significant slippage is nearly impossible. This defeats the purpose of trying to trade predictions on real-world events, as the lack of activity makes the app feel almost unusable at times.
On top of that, the fees are really high relative to what you can potentially earn. When you combine the low liquidity with the high costs, it becomes hard to justify any meaningful participation. Even if you manage to make some correct predictions, the fees eat into your profits so much that it hardly feels worth it.
Overall, Kalshi has a promising concept, but with its current liquidity issues and costly fees, it’s not a platform I can recommend for anyone looking to actively trade event predictions. Hopefully, these issues get addressed, but for now, the app just doesn’t deliver.

Kalshi is hands down one of the best apps I’ve ever used! It’s not just another trading platform — it’s an innovative, exciting, and engaging way to make decisions based on real-world events. The interface is sleek, user-friendly, and makes navigating the markets a breeze, even for beginners like me.
What I love most about Kalshi is the variety of markets. From political outcomes to financial trends and even weather predictions, there’s always something fascinating to trade on. The predictions feel grounded, and you can really see the effort they put into creating a smooth, seamless experience.
The app’s educational resources are a huge bonus too! They make it easy to understand the mechanics of trading and help you feel confident in making informed decisions. The support team is also top-notch — responsive, friendly, and always willing to help.
I’ve not only learned a lot but had so much fun using this app. Kalshi makes predicting the future feel like an exciting adventure, and it’s the perfect mix of entertainment and opportunity. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys making educated guesses and getting rewarded for being right!

HOW KALSHI WORKS
Kalshi is the largest federally 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.
TRADE SPORTS
Love day trading? Love sports?
Now you can combine both. Kalshi lets you trade on real outcomes across football, baseball, basketball, golf, MMA, tennis and more.
Will Baltimore beat Philly?
Will the total score go over 45?
Trade all your favorite sports with highly liquid markets for every pro football and college football game. The live trading vibrancy of these markets is unrivalled.
HOW IS KALSHI REGULATED?
Kalshi is federally regulated as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Kalshi’s affiliate, Kalshi Klear LLC, is a CFTC regulated clearinghouse that provides clearing services for Kalshi. The clearinghouse holds member 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.
