Strategy

Trade Kalshi's daily NYC high-temperature markets (series KXHIGHNY) for TODAY and TOMORROW only. Each run: (1) web_search the current NWS forecast and the observed high so far today at Central Park (KNYC), with the time of the reading. (2) Compare against the bracket prices (get_markets({series: "KXHIGHNY"}) then get_markets({event: <id>})). A bracket BELOW a high already observed today is dead — never buy it, and if you hold it, sell. (3) Buy a bracket only when the forecast (or the observed running high, once it is afternoon in New York) makes it clearly more likely than its ask price implies, with at least 10 points of edge; pay at most the ask, 5 contracts. (4) Take profit: sell a held bracket when its bid is above 85 or your thesis has broken. At most one bracket per day-market. Report the forecast you used and the observed high. Sizing is FIXED: every order is exactly 5 contracts (results are compared across a fleet; do not size by conviction). Hold positions to settlement unless the strategy says otherwise. End with a short report: the market you looked at, the numbers you saw, and what you did.

Recent runs

5 stepsSep 6, 18:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Current KNYC observation: 73.9°F (23.3°C) at 17:51Z / 1:51 PM EDT, mostly cloudy. The running high is therefore at least 74°F.
  • NWS forecast fetched from api.weather.gov: 73°F this afternoon Sep 6 and 78°F Sep 7, sunny.
  • Sep 6: 73–74° at 32¢, but with the observed high already near/at 74°F and official maximum uncertainty, no qualifying 10-point edge. 75–76° at 67¢ also lacks sufficient edge.
  • Sep 7: 77–78° at 38¢ and 79–80° at 49¢. Forecast favors the upper-70s, but neither provides a defensible 10-point edge after fees and market uncertainty.
  • No positions or resting orders. Cash remains 9,659¢; realized P&L −341¢.

Next run: verify the official Sep 6 high/settlement status and updated Sep 7 forecast, then reassess whether Sep 7’s 77–78° bracket develops a qualifying edge.

7 stepsSep 6, 16:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • KNYC latest: 72°F (22.2°C) at 15:51Z / 11:51 AM EDT, mostly cloudy. Running high is at least 72°F.
  • NWS point forecast: 74°F Sep 6 this afternoon, 21% precipitation; 79°F Sep 7, sunny.
  • Sep 6: 73–74° ask 60¢; 75–76° ask 38¢. Neither offers the required 10+ point edge.
  • Sep 7: 77–78° ask 39¢; 79–80° ask 51¢. Prices are broadly consistent with the 79° forecast.
  • No positions or resting orders. Cash 9,659¢; realized P&L −341¢.

Next run: verify the official KNYC running high and updated NWS forecast, focusing on whether Sep 6 is locked into 73–74° or whether Sep 7 prices develop a qualifying edge.

5 stepsSep 6, 14:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • KNYC latest observation: 68°F (20°C) at 13:51Z, cloudy.
  • NWS forecast: 73°F today (18% precipitation); 78°F Sep 7 (sunny).
  • Sep 6 market: 73–74° at 38¢, 75–76° at 49¢. No bracket is clearly mispriced by the required 10+ points.
  • Sep 7 market: 77–78° at 39¢, consistent with the 78°F forecast but without sufficient edge.
  • No positions or resting orders; cash remains 9,659¢, realized P&L −341¢.

Next run: check the updated official KNYC running high and afternoon observations; reassess whether any lower Sep 6 bracket is dead or whether a remaining bracket develops qualifying edge.

6 stepsSep 6, 12:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Reviewed KXHIGHNY Sep 6, closing Sep 7 at 05:00Z.
  • NWS forecast: 74°F today, 18% rain; 79°F tomorrow.
  • Latest KNYC observation: 18.3°C / 64.9°F at 11:51Z. Recent observed high remains approximately 70.6°F.
  • Market prices: 73–74° at 41¢ ask; 75–76° at 46¢; 77–78° at 10¢, with meaningful depth.
  • Forecast supports the 73–74° bracket, but its price already reflects the forecast and uncertainty around the official maximum leaves no reliable 10-point edge.
  • No eligible tomorrow event was listed.
  • No positions or resting orders. Cash remains 9,659¢; realized P&L remains -341¢.

Next run: check updated afternoon KNYC observations and official running high; reassess whether lower brackets become dead or whether the 73–74° bracket gains sufficient edge.

5 stepsSep 6, 10:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Market reviewed: KXHIGHNY Sep 6, closes Sep 7 at 05:00Z.
  • Current NWS forecast issued/fetched 10:22Z: high 74°F, slight chance of showers (18%).
  • KNYC Central Park observation: 19.4°C / 66.9°F at 09:51Z (latest API report); prior running high noted as 70.6°F.
  • Live asks: 73–74° at 43¢, 75–76° at 49¢, 77–78° at 9¢. Depth was meaningful.
  • Forecast/hourly path peaks around 74°F, supporting 73–74°, but the market price already reflects that and does not provide a reliable 10-point edge after uncertainty about the official Central Park maximum and forecast error.
  • No positions or resting orders. Cash remains 9,659¢; realized P&L remains -341¢.

Next run: check afternoon KNYC observations and the official running high; reassess whether the 73–74° bracket becomes sufficiently likely or whether any lower bracket is dead.

7 stepsSep 6, 08:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Market: KXHIGHNY Sep 6, 2026, closes Sep 7 at 05:00Z.
  • NWS forecast fetched 08:22Z: Sunday high 74°F; 18% slight shower chance.
  • Latest KNYC observation: 66.0°F at 07:51Z. Prior running high was 70.6°F at 03:51Z.
  • Live ladder: 73–74° ask 43¢, 75–76° ask 50¢; both had meaningful depth.
  • 73–74° is favored, but uncertainty around the official Central Park high and remaining warming does not provide the required 10-point edge. 75–76° is unsupported.
  • No positions or resting orders.

Next run should check afternoon KNYC observations and the realized running high before reassessing the 73–74° bracket.

6 stepsSep 6, 06:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Market: KXHIGHNY Sep 6, 2026; closes Sep 7 at 05:00Z.
  • NWS forecast fetched at 06:22Z: Sunday high near 74°F, slight rain chance before 2pm, then mostly sunny.
  • KNYC observations: 70.6°F at 03:51Z and 69.1°F at 05:51Z. No bracket is dead yet.
  • Ladder: 73–74° ask 42¢; 75–76° ask 47¢; tails priced 10¢ or less.
  • The 73–74° bracket is favored but does not provide a reliable 10-point edge after forecast and official-high uncertainty. No order placed.
  • Positions/resting orders: none.

Next run should check afternoon KNYC observations and the realized running high, then reassess whether 73–74° or 75–76° develops the required edge.

6 stepsSep 6, 04:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Market reviewed: KXHIGHNY Sep 6, 2026; closes Sep 7 at 05:00Z.
  • KNYC observation: 70°F approximately (21.1°C), timestamped 2026-09-06 03:51Z.
  • NWS Central Park forecast: high near 74°F Sunday, with slight rain chance and mostly sunny conditions later.
  • Ladder asks: ≤72° 8¢; 73–74° 46¢; 75–76° 43¢; 77–78° 8¢; 79–80° 2¢; ≥81° 1¢.
  • The 73–74° bracket is favored, but not by a reliable 10-point edge after forecast uncertainty and official-high measurement considerations. No bracket is dead from observations so far.
  • No positions or resting orders.

Next run should check updated KNYC observations, especially the running high once daytime warming begins, and reassess the remaining ladder.

Run complete — no trade.

  • Reviewed KXHIGHNY Sep 6, 2026 market; Sep 5 is effectively resolved.
  • Current ladder: ≤72° 12¢, 73–74° 51¢, 75–76° 36¢, 77–78° 4¢, 79–80° 3¢, ≥81° 1¢.

  • No bracket offered a reliable 10-point edge under the uncertainty around the official daily extreme.
  • No positions or resting orders.

8 stepsSep 6, 00:22 UTC

Run complete — no trade.

  • Reviewed KXHIGHNY Sep 6 market; Sep 5 is effectively resolved.
  • NWS forecast issued/fetched around 2026-09-06 00:22Z: Sunday high near 74°F, with hourly forecast peaking at 74°F.
  • Latest KNYC observation: 74°F at 23:51Z Sep 5 (19:51 EDT); no Sep 6 observation yet, so today’s running high is not established.
  • Sep 6 ladder: ≤72°F ask 21¢; 73–74°F ask 47¢; 75–76°F ask 33¢; 77–78°F ask 6¢; ≥81°F ask 1¢.
  • The 73–74°F bracket is forecast-centered but lacks a dependable 10-point edge after accounting for forecast and official-extreme uncertainty. No position or resting orders.

Next run: check fresh KNYC observations and the updated NWS forecast, then reassess the Sep 6 ladder before its 05:00Z close.
