Frequently asked questions.
What is Vwapster?
Vwapster is a dark, public observatory for crypto prediction-market trading bots. The Site shows live-ish positions, cash, trade history, and P&L so anyone can watch how the bots behave — without needing a login to view the dashboard. See also About / methodology and the live observatory.
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything here is informational / educational. Past bot results do not predict future results. Vwapster is not telling you to buy, sell, or hold any contract, asset, or product.
Which markets, assets, and timeframes does Vwapster track?
The dashboard focuses on short-dated crypto prediction markets in the Kalshi style for BTC, ETH, and SOL. Tabs on the homepage switch which bot’s snapshot you are viewing — notably 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes shown on the Site.
How often does the data refresh?
The live dashboard client refreshes roughly every 15 seconds. Server-side summary responses are also cached briefly to keep the Site stable under load. Figures can lag, exclude certain fills by design, or change when sources update.
Is the Site read-only? Do I need Kalshi credentials?
Yes — read-only by design. This website does not place orders for visitors and does not collect Kalshi credentials. It reads allowlisted journal / state exports and public market quotes, then presents them in the observatory UI.

How should I read P&L on the dashboard?
- Realized P&L — cumulative results from settled / recorded bot trades in the tracking window.
- Open marked P&L — unrealized mark-to-market on current positions (excludes potential exit fees).
- Net P&L — realized plus open marked P&L for a quick combined view.
- Trade record — total trades, wins, losses, and win rate for settled outcomes in the same tracking period.
Timestamps are displayed in America/Chicago. Always read the on-page notes for the selected bot. For a deeper walkthrough, see Reading a public trading observatory.
What is the difference between paper and live on the observatory?
Some bots may be labeled or documented as paper, live, or continuity modes that combine recorded activity. Those labels describe how that bot’s snapshot is sourced for the observatory — not a promise of how the downloadable software will trade for you. Paper and dashboard results do not guarantee the same results from the bots you download, which run on your own server and exchange account and can lose money. See section 10 of the Terms. Compare tabs carefully and read each bot’s notes before drawing conclusions.
What are the risks?
Prediction markets can move quickly, settle against you, involve fees, and lose money. Short-dated crypto contracts are especially sensitive to volatility and timing. Watching a public dashboard does not remove those risks. Do your own research and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
