# Quickstart Trading Guide

This guide shows how to place a simple trade using the Kalshi Python SDK.

## Setup

1. Install dependencies: `pip install kalshi-python`.
2. Set the `KALSHI_API_KEY_ID` and `KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH` environment variables.

## Placing an order

```python
from kalshi_python import KalshiClient, Configuration

cfg = Configuration(host="https://api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2")
cfg.api_key_id = "YOUR_API_KEY_ID"
with open("path/to/private_key.pem", "r") as f:
cfg.private_key_pem = f.read()

client = KalshiClient(cfg)
order = client.trader_api.create_order(
ticker="YES-EXAMPLE",
order_type="market",
side="buy",
size=1
)
print(order)
