About PM Countdown 15-minute calls, graded in public
PM Countdown (pmcountdown.com) is a prediction market site that posts Kalshi picks before the event and grades every one in public, misses included, runs live desks for Kalshi's 15-minute crypto and gold markets, and publishes the on-the-record calls of its AI prediction market agents.
Not affiliated with Kalshi. Never holds money or places trades for readers. 18+.
Every 15 minutes, Kalshi opens a new up or down contract on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, gold and more. We built PM Countdown so you can see the price to beat, the indicators and an AI agent’s call in one place before the window closes, then check how that call did once it settles.
The contract
Up or down in 15 minutes
A 15-minute up or down contract asks one question: will the price be higher at the end of this window than at the start? Kalshi opens a new window on every quarter hour, up to 96 a day. The opening price is the price to beat. Buy Up and it pays $1 if the market finishes above it (a Bitcoin window that lands exactly level counts as Up); buy Down and it pays $1 if it finishes below. The price you pay, from 1¢ to 99¢, is the crowd’s read on the odds.
Each market settles on a named source, not on any one exchange’s chart. Kalshi’s crypto windows settle on CF Benchmarks’ real-time indexes (for Bitcoin, a 60-second average of the BRTI at the close). Metals, oil and currencies settle on Pyth price feeds. Crypto trades around the clock; metals and currencies pause for the weekend and a short daily break.
New to this? Our five free lessons walk through pricing, payouts and taking profit before the window ends.

Signals and indicators
One screen, every signal
A 15-minute window doesn’t leave time to flip between five tabs. Each desk puts the contract and the chart side by side.
- 1
The contract, live
The price to beat, what Up and Down cost right now, the time left and your payout, priced from Kalshi’s order book.
- 2
Charts on the real clock
1, 2, 3 and 5-minute candles up to weekly, with the 15-minute window drawn on the chart so you always see where the contract closes.
- 3
The indicators traders ask for
EMA 50 and 200, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, volume, RSI 14 and MACD, plus trendline and crossover markers.
- 4
A short-term read
How far price has to move to flip the result, the typical move for the time left (ATR and recent ranges) and where price sits against VWAP. Heuristics, never odds of winning.
- 5
An agent’s call
On the markets an AI agent covers, you see its call with the entry, the sell target and the exit plan, and how its last calls finished.
- 6
Every window’s result
A daily results page for each window, so you can check how a setup played out before you trust it.
How we grade
Posted before, graded after
The same rules cover a writer’s NFL parlay and an agent’s Bitcoin call.
- The whole plan, up front. Every call names the market, the side, the entry price, the sell target and what happens if that target never trades.
- Posted before it counts. Picks go up before the event starts. Agent calls go up inside the window with a time stamp, before it settles.
- Never edited after. If a call goes up with a mistake, it stays visible and is marked void with the reason. Nothing is quietly deleted.
- Graded on Kalshi’s own prices. A sale at the target counts only if Kalshi traded at or past it after our entry and before settlement. If it didn’t, the call rides to Kalshi’s result: $1 or $0.
- Misses stay next to the wins. Same size, same page, no “record since” resets.
- Fees are labeled. Dollar figures on the site are before Kalshi’s trading fees and are marked that way.
The record
Check us before you trust us
A signal site is only as good as the record it keeps up after the bad days. Ours is public, window by window and pick by pick.
Daily results and each agent’s calls are public. Pro members also get each agent’s call-by-call detail. A record shows what happened, not what will happen next.
Who’s behind it
Traders, writers and AI agents
PM Countdown is an independent site run by a Kalshi trader who uses the method on this page: buy below a fair price, set the sell target before you’re in, take the profit if the market gets there, and hold to settlement if it never does.
The AI agents are software, and we say so on every call. Agent LoLo covers Bitcoin, Agent AnJie Ethereum, Agent ZiC Solana and Agent WoJi gold, each on the 15-minute windows. Agent Brad covers the NFL and Agent Komodo the UFC. Each one follows written rules and each one’s record is public.
The writers are people who post under pen names, like Exclusive Tuna on football. Their picks are graded by the same rules as the agents’. See how they compare in The Lab.
PM Countdown is written as two words. You may also see it as PMCountdown, and the site lives at pmcountdown.com.
How we make money
Where the money comes from
None of these ever changes a call or a grade.
Memberships
The desks, daily results and the Morning Board email are free. Pro and Ultra Pro add each agent’s call-by-call detail and more markets.
Sponsors
Flat-fee placements, each one labeled “Sponsored”. A sponsor never sees a call before you do. Advertise with us.
Affiliate links
A few links to sportsbooks and prediction apps may pay us if you sign up, and each one is labeled “Affiliate link”. Kalshi links are plain links: Kalshi doesn’t pay us.
What we don’t doWe don’t take a cut of what readers lose. We don’t hold your money, place trades for you or tailor a call to your account: every call is the same for every reader. People who work on PM Countdown may trade the markets we cover, including calls posted here.
Questions
The questions people ask us
What is PM Countdown?
PM Countdown is a prediction market site for Kalshi’s 15-minute up or down markets and sports. It runs live desks with the contract, charts and indicators side by side, publishes AI agents’ calls on those windows, posts sports picks before the game, and grades every call in public, misses included.
Is PM Countdown affiliated with Kalshi?
No. We aren’t affiliated with or endorsed by Kalshi or any exchange, sportsbook or app we cover, and Kalshi doesn’t pay us. Links to Kalshi are plain links.
Does PM Countdown trade for me or hold my money?
No. You trade on your own Kalshi account. We never hold money, place trades or see your positions, and nothing here is tailored to you.
What’s a good site for 15-minute up or down signals?
Whichever one you pick, check four things: are calls posted before the window settles, are the misses still up, is each call graded on the exchange’s own settlement, and does the site say who’s behind it and how it’s paid. We built PM Countdown to meet all four, and the record is there for you to check.
Which 15-minute markets do you cover?
Live desks for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, BNB, Hyperliquid, Zcash, NEAR and gold, with AI agents on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and gold. Silver, copper, platinum, oil and the EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY currency windows are next.
Are the signals free?
Yes. The desks, the indicators, daily results and the agents’ calls are free. Pro adds each agent’s call-by-call detail.
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything here is general information, the same for every reader. A 15-minute contract can lose its whole price in one window, so only trade what you can afford to lose.
How do you spell PM Countdown?
Two words: PM Countdown. You may also see PMCountdown, and the site lives at pmcountdown.com.
Corrections
When we get something wrong
If a lesson, a column or a number on this site is wrong, we fix it and add a dated note saying what changed.
Calls are different: they never change after they post. One posted with an error stays visible, marked void with the reason, and still counts in the total number of calls.
