What DeskBot for Kalshi does
Desktop bot for Kalshi's 15-minute up-or-down markets, all 19 of them at once: nine coins — BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, HYPE, ZEC, NEAR and BNB — plus gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, oil, natural gas and three currency pairs. It runs on your own Mac or Windows PC, trades your own Kalshi account through your API key and writes a reason for every trade and every skip on a local dashboard. You choose the markets, the contract size, which side it may take and a cap on what it can risk; it weighs each price against the time left and against the win rate that price needs after Kalshi's fee. In the developer's own live account it buys the side already priced around 92¢, so a win pays about $1 and a loss costs about $14. $19.99 a month, with a free 24-hour trial in paper mode. Kalshi only — it does not trade Polymarket.
Features- All 19 of Kalshi's 15-minute series on one screen, each switched on or off by itself, with its price, the time left and the bot's call
- A written reason for every trade and every skip — “too close”, “near certain · fee too big”, “watching up side” — on a dashboard served by the app on your own computer
- Your rules: contract size, the yes side, the no side or both, and a cap on what it can risk
- A break-even check before each entry: the win rate the price needs after Kalshi's fee, against the bar you set
- Stays out of the last stretch of a window rather than open a trade with no time left to be right
- The developer's own live account shows what the bot does by default. From Oct 8 to Oct 11, 2026 it made 336 trades, won 317 and lost 19, and netted +$64.06 after Kalshi's fees, buying the side already priced at 85–95¢ — 92.1¢ on average — with 4 to 11 minutes left in the window. At that price a win on a 15-contract order pays about $1 and a loss costs about $14, so the bot has to win roughly 92 times in 100 just to break even, and one loss erases a dozen wins or more. The first day shows the risk: 108 wins, 12 losses and −$51.64. The site says all of this itself, plainly, and calls it one account over a short stretch. Its results page has not been updated since Oct 11; a frame of the vendor's demo from Oct 14 reads +$140.05 over 712 settled trades, and −$41.39 for that day.
- We checked that ledger against Kalshi rather than taking it on trust. For 35 trades — the 25 on the results page and 10 more shown on the developer's Kick stream on Oct 12, EUR/USD and oil among them — the side Kalshi settled each window on matched the win or loss recorded, and Kalshi's public trade tape shows fills on the recorded side at the recorded price in that minute; in the EUR/USD window the only such fill is a single 15-contract order at 93¢, the size the ledger implies. Every profit and loss we tried recomputes to the cent from Kalshi's fee formula. The demo video on the home page is the working app, not a mock-up: the strikes it shows for the 3:15 PM ET window on Oct 14 — BTC 81,629.01, ETH 2,429.42, XRP 1.3279 — are the ones Kalshi set. None of this proves whose account it is, or that your copy will behave the same: the video shows the developer's own build, and the vendor says your results will differ with your settings, size and timing.
- Your money stays in your Kalshi account, and by the vendor's description your API key stays on your computer: the app asks for it when it first starts and serves its dashboard locally. A Kalshi API key can be revoked on your own account page, so create one for DeskBot alone. The trust question moves to the program itself. The builds are not signed — on a Mac you open the app with right-click → Open, on Windows past SmartScreen with More info → Run anyway — and what you run is closed code from a vendor whose domain was registered on Sep 20, 2026.
What Poly Sniper does
Four self-hosted bots for Polymarket's 15-minute crypto windows — BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP — sold per coin and capped at fifty seats each. You rent a small Linux VPS outside the US, unpack a package of compiled Python 3.14 modules built for your CPU, and enter per-coin licence keys plus your Polymarket wallet credentials in a dashboard that runs on localhost; the credentials stay in a local .env and the bot connects outbound to Polymarket, a Polygon RPC, the vendor's signal server and its licence server. Every coin starts in demo mode with real data and virtual positions, and you flip it to live yourself. Basic runs the strategy; Premium adds one-second order-book updates, 2x and 3x signal multipliers, entry-price filters and a daily digest. The results page shows 138 days, 3,455 closed trades, a 54.6% win rate and +$3,501 on $2,000 — self-reported, with the caveats below.
Features- Signal-driven entries into the 15-minute windows, pushed from the vendor's signal server; your server places the orders
- Per-coin licence keys — the package ships all four bots and the keys decide which run; 50 seats per coin, 200 in total
- Local dashboard on localhost for keys, wallet credentials, the demo/live switch, balances and signal logs; no inbound ports
- Demo mode first: real market data, virtual positions, then a per-coin switch to live
- Premium tier: order-book refresh every second, 2x/3x signal multipliers, entry-price filters, daily email digest
- The bots trade Polymarket's 15-minute Up/Down contracts on a signal computed by the vendor and pushed to your VPS; you never see the model, only its entries. At a 54.6% hit rate the economics live entirely in the entry price and Polymarket's taker fees, so the demo period is the only test you get before paying.
- The results page needs reading carefully. It says 138 days live and updated every 15 minutes, but every equity curve and trade log on it stops on Aug 18, 2026 — four weeks before we looked — while the day counter kept running from May 1. The P&L is stated with the Premium 2x/3x multipliers applied, and the totals do reconcile: BTC +$1,624, ETH +$1,176, SOL +$133, XRP +$567 on $500 each.
- Its “verify every trade yourself” link points at a Kalshi profile, kalshi.com/profiles/csniper — the sister product's exchange, not a Polymarket address — and the promised explanation of why is a label with no text behind it. The Discord invite in the site's markup did not resolve. No Polymarket wallet is published anywhere, so the Polymarket record rests on the vendor's own database.
