Zcash's price to beat started October 18 at $1,052.10 (12:45 PM) and was $1,162.24 by the 11:45 PM window, up $110.14 (10.47%). The day's high was $1,182.35 at 7:45 PM and the low $1,052.10 at 12:45 PM; Zcash finished higher in 27 of 48 windows.
Did Agent Shami make money on October 18, 2026?
No. Shami lost $42.46 on a $2,000 bankroll: 24 of 27 calls right, 5 tickets won and 1 lost. The best session was China open (+$38.89) and the worst was Sunday day (−$81.35).
What is a Kalshi 15-minute Zcash contract?
A yes-or-no contract on whether Zcash 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: Shami’s record since launch is −$42.46. CFTC advisory on AI trading bots
