Problem: Doesn’t fit the books—
$10k a leg is deeper than QFEX’s order book right now.
Note: Margin at max leverage$1,000 + $2,015
QFEX 10x, Kalshi 4.9x. Keep about 2× this so a sharp move doesn’t liquidate one leg.
Watch: Payment intervals differ1h / 8h
Payments land at different times. Close right after the slower leg pays.
Next 24h at the current rates, on $10k a leg: +$2.30Long QFEX: 24 payments, +$2.30; short Kalshi: 1 payment, $0.00.
Watch: Gap narrower than usual−0.053% vs +0.175%
Less room for the price leg to pay you. If it goes back to average, the short loses.
Watch: Short leg is thinner$291K vs $1.7M OI
Kalshi sets your exit cost. Check its book before closing.
Note: No points program—
Neither exchange runs points right now.
Watch: KYCQFEX No · Kalshi Yes
A US-regulated exchange: full KYC (ID, address, SSN when asked) before any trade.
