Kalshi Pro runs on the same account, the same balance, and the same exchange as the standard Kalshi app, but has professional trading tools for users who want a more convenient interface for advanced trading activity: people trading dozens of markets at once, reacting in real time during live events, or managing resting orders as a business. Both Kalshi’s prediction markets and perpetual futures are available to trade on Pro.
The launch marks the latest step in a broader shift underway at Kalshi: the transformation from a retail app for prediction market trading into a full-service financial exchange for all types of investors. Kalshi has long had the plumbing of a traditional financial exchange — strict CFTC regulation, a DCM license, and an affiliated DCO and FCM — but missed the advanced trading features for pro users. Kalshi Pro changes this, adding the frontend infrastructure that traditional exchanges and brokerages have long offered their most active users, directly into Kalshi’s own platform.
“Our most active traders are already trading prediction markets and perpetuals like Wall Street trades equities and bonds”, said Andy Chang, product lead for Kalshi Pro. “We built Pro to give them the cockpit they deserve.”
Kalshi Pro offers many new product features for advanced trading, including:
- Canvas — traders can lay out multiple markets at once, each with their own order book, chart and order panel, and arrange them into saved layouts. Resting orders can be managed the way a trading desk would manage them — sortable and filterable order tables, inline amends, batch cancellation and bulk edits, plus the ability to drag a resting order directly on the order book to reprice it.
- Active Markets Screener — traders can scan roughly 2,000 markets in real time, ranked by price, spread, depth and rolling five-minute volume, and a continuous trade tape shows the pulse of the exchange as it happens.
- Integrated Perpetuals Interface — an advanced interface for perps with:
○ Licensed TradingView Advanced Charting
○ Live order books and a full blotter for each of Kalshi’s active coins
○ Leverage selection with isolated and cross-margin modes
○ Risk management built in from day one, including take-profit/stop-loss orders placed and managed directly on the chart, reduce-only orders, a max-slippage guard and proactive margin-risk alerts.
Kalshi Pro is designed to compete directly with the tools serious traders already use elsewhere. Against the main Kalshi app, it offers speed, density, and order-management depth with zero switching costs. It offers the same advanced trading experience with the security of trading on a CFTC-regulated exchange.
