Automated · Kalshi sports markets
A sports-market scanner that trades your rules — exactly as you set them.
You decide which leagues to trade, how late in the game to enter, what lead counts as safe, what prices to pay, and how much to stake. Signal Forge Markets watches every live game on Kalshi and executes your rules automatically — for example, buying near-certain YES contracts in the final minutes and collecting $1.00 at settlement.
One strategy you could configure — not live market data.
The edge
Kalshi prices move slower than the live game. A team leading by 15 with two minutes left is a near-certain winner — but the YES contract can still trade at 92¢. Whether that moment is worth trading is your call: you set the minimum lead, the entry window, and the price you're willing to pay. Set it to buy at 92¢ with two minutes left — or hold out for a bigger lead and a better price. The scanner just executes.
Your two conditions
-
1
The game is late — enough for you
You choose, per sport, how late a game must be before you enter.
-
2
The lead is safe — by your threshold
You set the minimum lead per sport (e.g. 10 points in the NBA, 2 goals in the NHL — or stricter).
Live game state comes from ESPN; prices and liquidity come from Kalshi. When a game meets your conditions, it buys for your account.
How it works
The scanner repeats this cycle every few seconds — checking every live game against the rules you've set.
-
STEP 1
Read the game
Pull live scores, clock, period, and base-runner state from ESPN to find games that are late and have a big lead — the raw candidates for your rules.
-
STEP 2
Read the market
Find open Kalshi markets for the leagues playing today and read the live YES bid and ask from the WebSocket feed.
-
STEP 3
Qualify
Enter only when the market is open and liquid, the YES ask is inside your price window (anywhere from 88¢ to 99¢), it matches a live game, and the lead and timing clear the thresholds you've set.
-
STEP 4
Place the bet
For each account, apply your own rules — is the league on, is it late enough for you, does the lead meet your minimum, what's your budget at this price — then size the order and buy YES as an immediate-or-cancel order that never rests on the book.
-
STEP 5
Record & alert
Write the real fill to the database and send an alert to the owning account (Telegram) and the shared channel (Slack).
-
STEP 6
Settle
When the game ends, Kalshi settles the market and the feed reports the result at once — the trade is marked a win or loss and P&L recorded.
Your strategy, executed for you
The scanner trades every active account at once — and each user manages their own account and strategy right from the dashboard. No code, no redeploy: your settings take effect in seconds.
Multi-account scanning
One scanner trades every active user's Kalshi account at the same time. Users sign up themselves, and new accounts start disabled with every league off until an admin enables them.
Your own strategy
Turn leagues on or off, set your own minimum lead and max bet per league, pick how late a game must be before you enter, and budget each price from 88¢ to 99¢. Your settings layer over the global defaults — leave one alone and it just uses the default.
Automatic exits
Tie exit, a game-state-aware stop-loss (price and lead must both turn), and a baseball situational exit for late-inning risk — each user can switch these on or off with a single auto-withdraw toggle.
Dashboard & analytics
A live view of P&L, open positions, live games, trades, and stats — plus analytics, an investment simulator, transaction history, and today's matches. Admins get account and scanner controls.
Real-time data
ESPN for live game state, plus Kalshi's signed REST API and WebSocket for prices, orders, and instant settlement.
Alerts
Entry, exit, and service-health messages delivered to Telegram (per user) and Slack (shared channel).
Leagues covered
The scanner tracks a broad set of sports, plus many soccer leagues and cups. Turn on only the ones you want — every league is opt-in per account.
