EMA-structure scanner
Kraken OHLC candles are pulled per pair and scored against a stacked EMA ruleset. Only aligned structure produces a signal, and each rejection is logged with its reason.
BareNaked TA
A Kraken trading bot with the risk rules built in
BareNaked TA Command Center runs a fleet of technical-analysis bots on Kraken pairs. It scans EMA structure, stages every position through a risk governor, marks open trades to market on a schedule, and keeps live trading locked behind an explicit confirmation.
Automated trading can lose money. No returns are guaranteed.
What the bot actually does
Staged position governor
Entries start at 50% of the risk budget and scale in at +0.4R and +0.8R only when independent signals agree. Losing positions are never pyramided.
Hard risk rules
Aggregate stop-risk is recalculated after every add, the original risk budget is never exceeded, and adds are blocked when spread, volatility or liquidity deteriorate.
Trailing exits you can see
Open trades render as live orbs that glow with unrealized P&L, move along an R-multiple axis, and switch to ATR trailing once the trade clears +1.5R.
Manual override
Take profit now at the current marked price, stop a bot, or close a stale position without waiting for the scheduled cycle.
Guarded live switch
Keys are stored server-side, a preflight dry run checks the execution path, and long-only mode stops spot sells for assets you don't hold.
How it works
- 01
Create an account
Sign up and a six-bot paper fleet is provisioned with a simulated balance. Nothing touches a real exchange yet.
- 02
Pick pairs and strategy
Assign Kraken pairs to each bot, choose the EMA lengths, and set risk caps, cooldowns and the maximum trade age.
- 03
Watch paper results
Signals, orders, open trades and closed-trade P&L all stream into the dashboard so you can judge the rules before funding anything.
- 04
Arm live when ready
Connect Kraken API keys, run the preflight test, then confirm the live switch. Paper mode stays available side by side.
It keeps running with the browser closed
Signal scanning, mark-to-market, Kraken order reconciliation and stale-trade expiry all run server-side on a schedule. When you reopen the dashboard you see what the fleet did while you were away, including auto-closed trades and realized P&L.
- Scheduled scanner with per-pair cooldowns
- Order status polled until filled or canceled
- Take-profit tolerance so targets don't get missed
Kraken trading bot FAQ
What is a Kraken trading bot?
Software that reads market data for Kraken pairs, applies a rule-based strategy, and places orders through the Kraken API instead of you clicking manually. Here the rules are EMA-structure signals with a risk governor on top.
Can I test it without risking money?
Yes. Every bot starts in paper mode against a simulated balance. Live trading stays blocked until you connect Kraken API keys and pass an explicit confirmation step.
Do I need to keep the browser open?
No. Scanning, marking, reconciliation and expiry run on a server-side schedule.
Does it guarantee profits?
No. Automated trading can lose money. This is a control surface for your own strategy and risk limits, not a promise of returns.
