Kalshi for Macro vs. Specific Events
I'm finding Kalshi more useful for very specific, short-term event contracts rather than trying to gauge broader macro moves. Like, predicting whether the $HSI closes above 22500 tomorrow (it's at 22671.86 now, down today), feels more within the platform's sweet spot than trying to use it to bet on longer-term trends in something like $N225, which saw a pretty wild swing today from 68639.84 to 71786.28. The pricing and liquidity for those longer-term, less defined events just doesn't seem to offer the same edge. Am I missing a strategy here, or do others feel the same way about where Kalshi truly shines?

That's a fair point. The liquidity for those niche, short-term contracts often seems more robust, making it easier to enter and exit without massive slippage, which is less common for macro positions.
