Correction: Our Results Log Showed Times One Hour Late Since November 1

Short answer

When US daylight saving time ended on November 1, 2026, the Eastern times on our results log, in results.csv and in the Eastern-time fields of /api/record started reading one hour late. Our code used a fixed summer offset instead of real New York time. No result, price, win, loss or count changed, only the clock label. It is fixed: every time on those pages is now New York time, standard or daylight as of that moment.

What was wrong

Every row in the log carries the time the alert fired and the time it settled, labeled ET. Our code made those labels by setting the clock a fixed four hours behind UTC, which matches Eastern time only while daylight saving is on. Since 2:00 AM on November 1, New York has been five hours behind UTC, so every new row showed a time one hour later than the real one.

An example from the log on November 5: the window KXBTC15M-26NOV050845-45 closed at 8:45 AM Eastern (Kalshi's ticker carries the close time: 26NOV05, 08:45). Our row said the alert fired at 9:42 AM ET and settled at 9:45 AM ET. The right times are 8:42 AM and 8:45 AM.

As of November 5, 2026 at 8:42 AM ET, 365 of the 18,633 rows in results.csv had the wrong time: 343 BTC, 19 NBA and 3 NFL. No MLB row was affected. Every row before November 1 was right, because the log starts after daylight saving began on March 8, 2026 (the first BTC row is from March 24, the first sports row from April 10).

Why it matters

The time is how you match a row in our log to the market on Kalshi, to the alert you received on Telegram, or to a Bitcoin chart. An hour off breaks that check, and checking us is the point of publishing the log. Nothing about how the record is counted changed: the live record is still 91.0% won across 13,470 graded alerts at a 91.6 cent average entry price, which is below breakeven before Kalshi's fee and further below after it.

What we changed

If you downloaded results.csv after November 1, download it again, or subtract one hour from date_et and settled_at on rows dated November 1, 2026 or later. Spotted something else that looks wrong? Email [email protected].

Common questions about this correction

Did any DegenHedge result, price or win rate change?

No. Only the clock time printed beside each row was wrong. Every outcome, entry price, win, loss, exclusion and count is exactly as it was.

Which rows were affected?

Rows timed after 2:00 AM Eastern on November 1, 2026, when daylight saving time ended. As of November 5, 2026 at 8:42 AM ET that was 365 rows of 18,633: 343 BTC, 19 NBA and 3 NFL. Every earlier row was right, because the whole log dates from after daylight saving began on March 8, 2026.

I downloaded results.csv after November 1. What should I do?

Download it again, or subtract one hour from date_et and settled_at on rows dated November 1, 2026 or later. The file now also has signaled_at_utc and settled_at_utc columns, which never change with daylight saving.

How we counted

We read results.csv on November 5, 2026 at 8:42 AM ET and counted rows whose signal time fell after 2:00 AM Eastern on November 1, 2026, the moment daylight saving time ended. The old labels were always exactly four hours behind UTC, so each one converts back to its true moment without guesswork. DegenHedge is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kalshi.

Risk reality: read before acting on anything here

These are 15-minute binary prediction-market contracts. Any single window can lose 100% of your stake. They settle on a 60-second index average, not on the exchange chart you may be watching. At high prices a loss costs many times what a win pays, and Kalshi's fee raises the win rate you need above the price. Nothing on this page is financial, investment, or betting advice.
