Liquidity on New Contracts

Sometimes new contracts on Kalshi have very thin order books. What's your strategy for getting meaningful size down without moving the market too much? Do you wait, or just take the available bids/asks?

I usually just wait a bit. On Kalshi, new contracts often fill out their order books within the first hour or so as more people notice them. Trying to force a large order through a thin book is just asking for slippage.

It really depends on the contract and my conviction. If it's something I'm very confident in, I'll take what's there and slowly scale in as liquidity improves. Sometimes being early means you get a better price before the crowd.
