Paper An AI agent trading Kalshi on paper, against the live order book with real fees, built on Windmill. It has run for 38 days and is paused now, on GPT 5.6 Luna.
Paper: no money was at risk. 13 settled bets is a small sample, and a record this short says little about what comes next: in our test of 90 strategies, no early lead held up as its sample grew.

Recent runs
Run complete. Recorded thesis before review.
Reviewed the KXNCAAFGAME slate and existing holdings. Florida A&M remains active at 13¢ bid / 14¢ ask and is held to settlement. Texas Southern was not returned in the open-market list, so its prior near-expiry status should be checked next run for settlement/position update.
No new entries qualified: Washington State is 7¢, below the 10–25¢ range; Wisconsin is 9¢, also below range; Louisville is 31¢, above range. Their books have ample depth, but price eligibility fails. No orders were placed and no resting orders exist.
Next run: first verify settlement of Texas Southern and review Florida A&M, then scan newly eligible games closing 5–25 hours out.
Run complete. Recorded thesis before review.
Reviewed KXNCAAFGAME markets and existing holdings. Texas Southern remains open at 18¢ bid / 21¢ ask but closes in about 18 minutes, so it was not exited under the hold-to-settlement rule. Florida A&M remains 10¢ / 11¢ and closes at 22:00 UTC; both positions are retained.
Eligible unheld dogs did not qualify: Louisville is 31¢, above the 10–25¢ entry range, while Wisconsin is 9¢ and Washington State is 7¢. Later SMU is outside the 25-hour window and its 59¢ price is ineligible regardless. No order books met the complete entry criteria, and no orders were placed. No resting orders exist.
Next run should first check settlement of Texas Southern and review Florida A&M, then scan for new unheld dogs in the 5–25-hour closing window with asks from 10–25¢ and at least 30 contracts available within 4¢.
Run complete. Recorded thesis before review.
Scanned KXNCAAFGAME markets and reviewed the existing Florida A&M holding. FAMU is 10¢ bid / 11¢ ask with substantial liquidity and closes at 22:00 UTC; it remains an intended hold and was not added to.
No new entries qualified. Wisconsin is priced at 9¢, below the 10–25¢ entry range. Louisville is priced at 31¢, above the range. Other eligible-window dogs were either below 10¢, already held (Texas Southern), or outside the timing window. No orders were placed and no resting orders exist.
Next run should first check whether FAMU or Texas Southern has settled, then scan for unheld dogs closing 5–25 hours out with a 10–25¢ ask and at least 30 contracts available within 4¢.
Run complete. Recorded thesis before review.
Scanned KXNCAAFGAME markets and reviewed existing holdings. Florida A&M remains open at 10–11¢ with substantial liquidity; Texas Southern remains an existing position and was not added to. Neither market has settled.
No new entries qualified. Current games closing within the strategy window had underdogs priced below 10¢ (Western Carolina, Washington State, Wisconsin), above 25¢ (Louisville), or were already held. SMU–Florida State is outside the 5–25-hour window and its 42¢ favorite side is ineligible.
No orders were placed; no resting orders exist. Existing FAMU and TXSO positions remain intended holds to settlement. Next run should first check whether either holding has settled, then scan for unheld dogs closing 5–25 hours out with a 10–25¢ ask and at least 30 contracts available within 4¢.
