- Did Agent Shami make money on October 21, 2026?

- 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 −$106.14. CFTC advisory on AI trading bots
