Predict & Profit: Automated Prediction Market Trading with Python

Everyone else is guessing. You'll have the real numbers.Right now, hundreds of weather contracts are trading on Kalshi. Temperature highs, lows, precipitation. Thousands of dollars changing hands every day. And nearly every trader is pricing these contracts based on gut feel, Weather Channel headlines, or vibes.What if you could see the actual probabilities before you trade?How the bot knows the real odds (and why regular weather forecasts won't cut it)When you check the weather on your phone, you get one number: "High of 82°F tomorrow." That's a single forecast from a single model run. A best guess. But it tells you nothing about confidence. Is 82°F a lock, or could it just as easily be 78°F or 86°F?The GFS ensemble model works differently. Instead of running one simulation, it runs 31. Each run starts with slightly different initial conditions (tiny variations in temperature, pressure, and humidity measurements) and lets the physics play out independently. You end up with 31 separate forecasts for the same location and the same day.Here's where it gets powerful for trading prediction markets.Say Kalshi has a contract: "Will the high temperature in Chicago exceed 80°F tomorrow?" and it's trading at 45 cents (implying 45% probability). You pull the 31 ensemble runs, and 23 out of 31 say yes, the high will exceed 80°F. That's a 74% probability. The market says 45%. The ensemble says 74%. That 29-point gap is your edge.You can't get this from a regular weather API. NOAA, Weather.com, and AccuWeather give you a single forecast. The ensemble gives you a probability distribution, which is exactly what you need to compare against a prediction market price.The bot pulls this ensemble data from a free public API (no key required), calculates the real probability for every active Kalshi weather contract, and flags the ones where the market has it wrong.Built in a weekend. 5x return in the first week.I built this system in a single weekend and started trading with it immediat
