Why Most Kalshi Traders Lose Money (And How the Top 5% Win)
The Bleed Is Structural
Fees, bid/ask spread, and over-trading compound. A 2¢ edge disappears after a 2¢ spread and a 2¢ fee if you churn.
What Losers Do
- Trade narratives, not structure.
- Size by conviction, not by Kelly.
- Chase after the move is priced in.
What Winners Do
- Trade a small set of understood signals.
- Wait for score ≥ 70 with a clear catalyst.
- Compound small, frequent, positive-EV edges.
