The short version
MODE 2 OF 2
What the primary record establishes
Kalshi’s endpoint reports how many contracts precede an order in the queue. An illustrative value of 12.50 means 12.50 contracts ahead. Price and time determine priority, and the response describes the book when the request was processed. Kalshi · Get Order Queue Position ↗
What the distinction changes
Cancellations and fills ahead of the order can reduce that number. An unchanged observation says little about the waiting time because incoming demand can vary. A partial fill also makes the order’s remaining quantity relevant.
What to check before drawing a conclusion
Display the observation time and unit alongside the queue position. In reconciliation, track fills and cancellations separately and preserve the fixed-point precision so fractional positions can be compared.
