Test Kalshi's favourite strategy yourself: a free AI prompt

One prompt for Claude or ChatGPT that builds an honest tester for the favourite rule on Kalshi's free data. Free with a Pondletter account.

In episode 1 of our series Kalshi trading strategies, explained, our bot bought the favourite 53,317 times on paper. It won 91% of its trades, and after the fee it still came out about 1.2 cents a trade short. That is our result so far. The more useful question is whether a version of it holds up on markets, prices or timings we have not tried yet.

This prompt lets you run that test yourself in a few minutes. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or any AI assistant that can write and run Python. It builds a script that pulls Kalshi's free historical data, applies the rule at prices you could really have traded, charges the real fee, and tells you whether the result holds up.

What you need: a free Pondletter account to see the prompt, and an AI assistant. No Kalshi account, no API key, and it never places an order.
