Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current arbitrage spread for "Will the S&P 500 close above 5,500 by end of May 2025?"?
The current gross spread is 5.0 percentage points: Polymarket prices YES at 47¢ and Kalshi prices YES at 52¢. This data updates hourly via Musashi.
How do I trade this arbitrage?
Buy YES on Polymarket at 47¢ per share. Simultaneously sell YES on Kalshi at 52¢. Your locked-in gross spread is 5.0¢ per share because you collect the higher sale price and pay the lower entry price up front. If YES resolves, the long pays $1 and the short owes $1; if NO resolves, both legs expire worthless, and in either case you keep the initial spread before fees and slippage.
Is this arbitrage risk-free?
Near risk-free in theory, but execution risk exists. Both legs must fill before the spread closes. Slippage, position limits, and the time required to withdraw funds between platforms reduce the realized profit. Model your net spread after fees and slippage before committing.
