New: create a strategy with Claude

Trades only when all lamps are lit.

KrakenBot watches the most traded crypto markets on Kraken, checks fixed rules on every candle and shows you for each market what is met and what is still missing. It practises with play money – it only trades real money when you explicitly switch it on.

Demo: your own account with €1,000 play money and real prices – no name, no e-mail.

Transparent, not a black box

Every strategy consists of conditions you see as lamps – with the value currently measured and how much is still missing. The chart shows entry, stop and target, and the log explains in plain sentences why a trade happened or why not.

  • More than 15 strategies, plus an automatic mode that chooses by market phase
  • Filters for higher-timeframe trend, Bitcoin, news and sentiment
  • “Almost there” alert before a trade happens – on your phone if you like

Test first, then trade

Before real money is at stake, you can test every setting: in the backtest on real Kraken price data, in the lab comparing several variants and in the Time Machine with a thousand simulated price paths. Paper trading runs with real prices and real fees – exactly like live later.

  • Fees, slippage and funding always included
  • Independent hold-out test against results that look too good
  • Strategy profiles: save good settings and apply them again

On your phone, everything as on your PC

The bot runs on a server around the clock. You open it in the browser – tidy and complete on your phone: view and close positions, adjust stop and target by hand, change settings, start a backtest.

  • Notifications via ntfy or Telegram: signal, entry, profit lock, result
  • The stop-loss sits directly at Kraken and works even if the server goes down
  • Optional second opinion from Claude (AI) before every entry – with your own key

Create a strategy with Claude

Which strategy suits the market right now? Claude looks at the chart of the last day or the last 3, 7 or 30 days, picks one of the bot's strategies and sets the timeframe, entry, filters and exit for it – every change with a reason. Risk, leverage and markets stay the way you set them.

  • Cost beforehand: the bot counts the request for free and shows roughly and at most what it will cost – usually a few cents
  • Cost afterwards: what the proposal really cost is shown with it and in the cost log
  • Save it as a strategy profile, test it in the backtest, apply it with one click

How a trade works

Five steps, each traceable in the dashboard – here using BTC-Perp on the 15-minute chart as an example.

  1. Watch

    The most traded futures and spot markets on Kraken, new prices every few seconds.

    BTC-Perp · 15 min · price every 3 s

  2. Check

    At candle close, the strategy rules plus filters such as trend, Bitcoin and the news situation.

    6 of 6 conditions met

  3. Calculate

    Stop and target from the chart, reward/risk after fees, position size from your risk per trade.

    Stop 64,210 · target 66,980 · reward/risk 2.1

  4. Trading

    Order at Kraken – the stop-loss is placed on the exchange right away, for futures the target too.

  5. Manage

    Break-even, trailing, profit lock, time stop – or adjusted by hand.

  • Protection on the exchange. The stop-loss sits directly at Kraken, not only in the program.

  • Secured access. Encrypted connection, two-factor login, everyone only sees their own bot.

Frequently asked questions

Can the bot withdraw or transfer money?

No. You create API keys at Kraken without withdrawal rights – with them the bot can only trade, but can't withdraw or transfer anything.

Software or server version – which suits me?

The software runs on your PC as long as it is switched on. The server version runs around the clock on your own rented server (VPS) and can be reached from anywhere via HTTPS – on PC and phone. The trading functions are the same in both.

On how many devices can I use KrakenBot?

One license is valid for one device: the PC version for one PC, the server version for one server. You can still view and operate the bot from several devices – the server version in the browser from anywhere, the PC version also on your phone on your own Wi-Fi.

Does the bot guarantee profits?

No. No program can predict prices. KrakenBot helps you trade by fixed rules and with limited risk – losses are still possible, up to the total loss of the money used. It is not investment advice.
