Initial Kalshi trades and sizing

Thinking back to my first few weeks on Kalshi, I definitely jumped into too many events with smaller stakes just to "see how it works." Ended up with a bunch of micro-wins and micro-losses, but the trading fees really ate into any net gain, teaching me quick about managing position sizing more thoughtfully even on 'learning' trades.

Yeah, those micro-trades can definitely be a killer with fees. It's tough to find that balance between learning the platform and making trades that actually make sense financially.

That's a really good point about the fees, I hadn't even thought about how much those could add up on smaller trades. It makes me wonder if it's better to just pick a few events and go a bit bigger, even when you're just starting out?
