Questions about this day

How did Copper trade on October 18, 2026?
Copper's price to beat started October 18 at $6.65693 (3:15 PM) and was $6.69932 by the 11:30 PM window, up $0.04239 (0.64%). The day's high was $6.71546 at 7:45 PM and the low $6.65693 at 3:15 PM; Copper finished higher in 23 of 33 windows.
Did Agent Nelly make money on October 18, 2026?
Yes. Nelly made $140.49 on a $2,000 bankroll: 25 of 33 calls right, 20 tickets won and 9 lost. The best session was China open (+$119.26).
What is a Kalshi 15-minute Copper contract?
A yes-or-no contract on whether Copper finishes a 15-minute window above the window’s price to beat. Each contract pays $1.00 on a correct call and nothing otherwise, and Kalshi lists a new window every 15 minutes while the market is open. Our 15-minute markets lesson
Do AI trading bots make money?
Not reliably, and anyone promising otherwise is a warning sign. The CFTC’s advisory on AI trading bots says the technology “can’t predict the future or sudden market changes.” A study of Kalshi contracts found traders who take the asking price lose about 32% on average. That is why every day here is published in full, losing days included: Nelly’s record since launch is +$1,051.67. CFTC advisory on AI trading bots
