OWN R&D · REAL-TIME TRADING

A goal is scored — and the order hits the exchange within a second.

Kalshi Arb — Our own system that detects goals in live football matches and trades on the Kalshi prediction exchange before the market reprices. Built for real money.

CHALLENGE

On the Kalshi prediction exchange, football markets reprice within seconds of a goal. Whoever learns about the goal earlier and reacts faster still trades at the old price. What decides is the speed of the pipeline from detection to execution — and reliability, because the system works with real money.

SOLUTION

The detection side runs in Slovakia: through the Chrome DevTools protocol it intercepts WebSocket data of live matches directly from data feeds, recognises goal events in binary messages and filters duplicates (20-second debounce).

The signal travels over TCP to an execution server on a US VPS — close to the exchange for latency. It keeps markets pre-loaded and immediately sends an IOC limit order to Kalshi; acknowledgments and sell signals return over the same link. Documented reaction from goal to submitted order: 0.5–1 second.

Because real money is involved, the system has safeties: a per-match budget cap, three pricing modes by risk (live orderbook, fixed price, cached hybrid) and a dry-run mode for testing without trades. Every detection generates a dated report — operations are measurable and auditable after the fact.

RUNNING TODAY

Sub-second reaction From a goal in a live match to an exchange order in 0.5–1 s — automation where a human cannot keep up.
Two continents, one pipeline Detection in Slovakia, execution on a US server next to the exchange — an architecture designed around latency.
Deployed on live matches Dated detection reports from real matches — the system runs in production, not in a slide deck.
The same engineering for clients Realtime data, API integrations and automation that reacts for people — exactly what we build for companies.
