Build a US Challenger job cuts model on this data
Every US Challenger job cuts event lists a ladder of strikes — one contract per range — and the rung that settles in the money is the label, so the ladder's prices read as an implied distribution rather than one probability. The day bundle holds the full order-book path and trade tape of every rung, nanosecond-stamped; the statistics on this page cover the most traded contracts per day; the bundle holds every contract listed on Kalshi that day.
Split by release or event day, never at random — every rung of one ladder settles on the same print, so the whole ladder is one example; walk forward over releases. The ladder guide works distribution labels, cross-strike features and the link to the crypto strike grids through.
Purchased data is for your own use — backtesting, research, analytics and training your own models, in-house or in your own products; the trained models and derived data you build from it are yours. The raw files and tick streams themselves may not be redistributed, resold or published. The full terms are on the data license page.
