Quick Order Purchase

Quick orders are simple on Kalshi. Simply select the strike you would like to trade on, and the outcome decision (Yes/No). Once that is selected, you can either trade in dollar value, or in # of contracts, and Kalshi will execute your trade to purchase the contracts at the best available price.

Sometimes, your order might be split up, with different parts getting filled at different prices until your whole order is complete. This happens because the platform is on the lookout for the best contracts to match your order across various market rates. Even though Kalshi aims to fill your order efficiently and at a good price, larger orders can naturally end up spanning multiple price points. This way, you still get the quantity you want, just spread across different transactions.

When placing a Quick Order on Kalshi, you'll need to specify both how many contracts you want and whether you’re going for Yes or No. The platform then tries to snag those contracts for you at the best deal. But with bigger orders, sometimes there aren't enough shares at the ideal price, meaning your order might get filled at several different prices.

*Quick orders can be made by selecting either the 'dollar' or 'contracts' purchase option.
