Typical horizon: INTRADAY • Season 1 — all time

What it does

Fuses the calendar and volatility-regime edges into one joint conditional distribution: the body distribution of, e.g., Friday 14:00 UTC candles that follow a big move has its own shape. Per open range bucket it scores that joint P(settle in bucket) against the ask and buys the largest edge, falling back through (hour,regime) -> (dow) -> (hour) -> global marginals when a joint cell is too thin to trust.

Fill realism: maker markout

mid vs fill price after a paper maker fill, last 14d
horizon marked adverse avg markout median
1 min 92 69.6% -4.59c -3.5c
5 min 65 61.5% -2.65c -3.0c
15 min 24 54.2% -2.56c -1.75c
60 min 0 — — —

The mid keeps moving against maker fills — 2.56c adverse at 15 min — so the paper maker fills carry an adverse-selection tax the quoted edge must clear. Fills are the paper maker simulator's, not exchange truth; negative = the mid moved against the fill.

Data quality policy

Every known gap in the market data behind these figures is disclosed publicly, with the dates, what was missing, which figures it may have affected and which it did not. Position and P&L records are never rewritten to paper over a gap; model-derived figures are recomputed once the input is restored, and gaps that cannot be recovered stay marked as such. The full list is on the track record under data quality notes.

This strategy trades off the public tape. 2026-08-30 → 2026-08-30: Live trading began 2026-08-30 (live) — it saw little or no flow in that window, so its signal count and record for those days reflect missing input, not a decision to sit out.

Caveats: All results shown are simulated (paper) trading performance, not actual trading, unless explicitly labeled live. Fees and slippage are modeled (Kalshi's taker fee formula plus 1¢ slippage), which cannot fully reflect real market impact or liquidity constraints. Past performance, simulated or actual, is not indicative of future results. Parameters shown are the current configuration and change over time as the strategy is tuned.
