The home feed
Home is the live tape of large trades across Polymarket and Kalshi. Everything else in Polywhaler is a way of slicing, scoring or acting on what shows up here.
What lands in the feed#
The feed carries trades of $10,000 and above. That floor is what makes it a whale feed rather than a firehose, and it is why a trade you made yourself probably is not in it.
Kalshi is quieter, so its non-sports markets use a $5,000 floor. The exception is Kalshi's 15-minute and hourly markets, such as “BTC price up in next 15 mins?”. They only show a trade of $10,000 or more priced under 90¢. Buying at 95¢ or 99¢ in the last minutes of a window is a near-certain small return, not a whale taking a view, and those buys used to fill the feed.
Sports and esports are left out of the default view. They are high-volume and drown out everything else, so they live in their own tab instead.

The five tabs#
The dropdown next to the page title switches views. The tab is in the URL, so a view you like is a bookmark.
- Home: every qualifying trade except sports. The default.
- Following: only the wallets on your watchlist. Quiet, and worth building up.
- Signals: market-wide analytics rather than a tape. Smart Money Flow and coordinated buying live here.
- Sports: the sports and esports trades kept out of Home.
- Vindicated: trades that were flagged as suspicious at the time and went on to win.
Note
Narrowing it down#
- Time filters: 1H, 6H, 24H, 7D and 30D. Shorter windows for reacting, longer ones for spotting a pattern.
- Trader quality: restrict the feed to wallets that have earned a rank. See scores and badges for what the tiers mean.
- Category: crypto, politics, economy, world, tech, culture and the rest.
Reading a trade card#
Each card carries the market, the outcome bought or sold, the size, the implied probability at the time, and the wallet with whatever badges it has earned. Clicking it opens the full trade, including the insider score breakdown and a link through to the trader's profile.
The probability is the part people skim past and should not. A $200,000 buy at 4% is a very different statement from a $200,000 buy at 60%, and the insider model weights it accordingly.
