Kalshi Tracker Guide: Track Contracts, P&L, and Risk in One Journal

Kalshi makes it easy to open an event contract. The harder part is remembering why you opened it, how much capital is exposed, and whether your overall results are improving. A Kalshi tracker turns scattered positions into a reviewable record.

What to record for every Kalshi contract

Start with the basics: market name, category, entry date, side, entry price, number of contracts, fees, and the amount of capital committed. When the position closes, add the exit price, settlement result, and realized profit or loss. If a position is still open, label the result as unrealized rather than treating a current quote as final income.

Add a short thesis note. A sentence such as “entered because the data release was underpriced” is more useful six weeks later than a screenshot. Tags for politics, economics, sports, weather, and crypto help you see where your decisions actually work.
