For months, Kalshi's most active traders built their own software to track multiple prediction markets and trades. They needed an edge. Now the platform gives them a single, centralized cockpit instead.
Andy Chang, product lead for Kalshi Pro, said the tool gives these traders exactly what they asked for.
What Kalshi Pro Does
Kalshi Pro is a new trading terminal designed for the platform's heaviest users. These traders were already juggling prediction markets and perpetual futures. Kalshi Pro brings those gauges into one dashboard.
CNBC reported in June that Kalshi was developing a terminal for its most active traders, and the company confirmed the release this week.
Features and Future Plans
Kalshi Pro includes new features for trading perpetual futures. The terminal offers advanced charting capabilities and enhanced risk management tools for perpetual futures positions. Traders can also access a live feed of all public trades, get a clearer view of order books for individual contracts, and more easily analyze multi-leg contract trades.

Kalshi has not said whether it will seek to monetize the product. For now, the goal is to give power users a better way to trade multiple markets at once.
"Kalshi's active traders are already trading prediction markets and perpetuals like Wall Street trades equities and bonds," said Andy Chang, who leads the Kalshi Pro product. "We built Pro to give them the cockpit they deserve."
The beta launch means features may change based on feedback. Kalshi wants to see how traders use the terminal before locking in final design choices.
What to Watch
Investors should watch whether Kalshi eventually charges for Pro. If the tool helps traders move faster and manage risk better, it could attract more volume to the platform. That volume may lead to higher fees from trades, even if the terminal itself stays free.
Background and Context
Kalshi is a prediction market platform where users can bet on the outcomes of real-world events, such as economic data or political elections. Unlike traditional financial markets, these contracts are settled based on binary yes-or-no questions. In recent years, Kalshi has expanded into perpetual futures - contracts with no expiration date - which has drawn a more active, algorithmic trading crowd. The Pro terminal is a direct response to this shift.
Since launching perpetual futures, Kalshi has seen a surge in activity from quantitative traders who treat prediction markets as an asset class. These traders often run multiple strategies across dozens of contracts simultaneously, making a unified terminal essential. The Pro beta is Kalshi's attempt to keep these high-volume users on the platform rather than forcing them to build their own interfaces.
The impetus for Kalshi Pro came from power users who had already built their own custom tools to track and execute trades more efficiently. The terminal aims to provide a central hub for these speculators. The platform also includes features for trading on the company's perpetual futures product.
