I built something because I couldn’t keep up with Kalshi markets moving all the time

I’ve been using Kalshi a lot lately and ran into something kind of annoying.

There are just too many markets to actually follow properly.

Like you can understand a move if you catch it at the right time and go dig through news, CPI prints, tweets, whatever… but realistically you miss most of it unless you’re staring at it all day.

So I built a small tool to try and fix that for myself.

It just watches a bunch of Kalshi markets, flags when something moves a lot, and then tries to match it with whatever news or event might’ve caused it. It also links sources so you can check it yourself.

It’s not trying to predict anything or give trading signals. More like

“Hey, this moved a lot — here’s the most likely reason.”

What surprised me is that a lot of moves actually do have a clean explanation, but you only see it if you happen to be paying attention at the exact right time.

Anyway I’m still not sure if this is actually useful to other people or just something that helps me personally.

Curious if anyone here would actually find something like that useful or if you’d just rather do your own research manually.

If you want to try it or tell me it’s pointless, I’m open to either.

Why is there no easy way to see what events are moving prediction markets?

Honest question:

Markets move because events happen - CPI drops, Fed announces rates, political news breaks. But there's no intuitive layer connecting the two.

You have to manually piece together: check Kalshi to see what moved, then go search Twitter/news to figure out what event caused it.

Does this actually bother anyone else or is it just me?

Would you use something that showed both in one place - market movements + the events driving them?
