Get Verdex running

1. 01Click Sign in at the top of any page.
2. 02Choose Continue with Google, or sign up with email and password.
3. 03If you used email, open the confirmation link we send you.
4. 04You'll land in the Dashboard.

Verdex trades through your own Kalshi account, so it needs an API key you create.

1. 01Log in to Kalshi (use demo.kalshi.co for the free practice account).
2. 02Open Settings → API Keys.
3. 03Click Create New API Key and give it a name like "Verdex".
4. 04Copy the Key ID and download the private key file (.key / .pem). Kalshi only shows it once.

Keep the private key safe. Never share it with anyone, including support.

1. 01In the Dashboard, find the Kalshi Connection panel.
2. 02Pick Demo or Real money to match where the key was created.
3. 03Paste your Key ID, then open the private key file in a text editor and paste the whole thing, including the BEGIN/END lines.
4. 04Click Connect. Verdex checks the key with Kalshi and shows your balance when it works.

Your private key is encrypted and stored securely. It is never shown again or sent back to your browser.

Demo uses Kalshi's practice exchange with fake funds. Start here to see how the bot behaves.

Real money places actual orders with your Kalshi balance. First complete a one-contract Demo buy and zero-grace stop exit, then select Verify Demo for real-money access. Connect your separate real-money key, approve the account, and press Start only when ready. Approval alone never starts orders.

1. 01On Free, select Demo in Kalshi Connection and connect your Demo keys. Plus can also select Paper for simulated fills using live Kalshi data.
2. 02Adjust entry time, price range, take profit and stop loss until you like the results.
3. 03Select Kalshi exchange and press Start Demo Bot to place orders with practice funds.
4. 04The status changes to DEMO ACTIVE. The bot checks every minute, even with the page closed. Revised real-money entries are disabled until Demo execution is verified.
5. 05Watch the Activity panel for entries, exits and results. Press Stop any time.

The extension puts the live BTC 15-minute market and one-click dashboard access in your toolbar.

1. 01Click "Add to Chrome" to download the Verdex extension file.
2. 02Unzip the downloaded file into a folder.
3. 03Open chrome://extensions in Chrome (also works in Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera).
4. 04Turn on Developer mode in the top-right corner.
5. 05Click "Load unpacked" and pick the unzipped folder.
6. 06Pin Verdex from the puzzle-piece menu for one-click access.

iPhone (Safari): open Verdex → Share → Add to Home Screen → Add.

Android (Chrome): open Verdex → ⋮ menu → Install app → Install.

"Key rejected" — check you picked the right mode (demo key in Demo, real key in Real money) and pasted the full private key.

Bot won't start — verify your Demo keys, entry-window bounds and plan limits. Free allows one selected market and one contract. Legacy absolute stops must be below the entry range and profit targets above it; new offset settings are measured from the fill.

No trades yet — the bot only enters when time left in the 15-minute window is under your entry time and the price is in your range.
