A quick reference to how Pro behaves out of the box.
Defaults
- Order type: Limit
- Time in force: GTC (good ’til canceled)
- Quick-expiry chips: +2m, +5m, +10m
- AUTO price lock: Off
- Post-only (resting order only): Off
- 1-tap send: Off (orders go through Review, Submit, Done)
- Submit with Enter: Off
- Submit sound: Off
- Order book view: 1-sided
- Full order book: Off
- Hide fractional shares: Off
- Canvas panel mode: Docked
- Canvas columns: Auto (2 on standard monitors, 3 on ultrawide)
- Canvas layout mode (resize/reorder): On for new users
Price stepping
- Arrow keys: 1¢ (Shift for 10¢).
- Alt + arrows: 0.1¢ on markets that support sub-cent pricing; snapped to valid ticks.
- Limit prices are clamped between 1¢ and 99¢.
Side and price behavior
- Switching Yes and No clears the price (Yes and No prices aren’t interchangeable) but keeps a share count you typed.
- Clicking the order book prefills price and quantity at that level.
- In Sell mode, quantity is capped to your position on that side.
Where your data lives
- Balance, positions, and orders are your real Kalshi account, shared across Pro, classic, and mobile.
- Layouts, saved views, and preferences are stored in your browser and don’t sync across devices yet.
