Connect Kraken

Your Kraken account will be connected to the terminal, for spot and margin trading.

Kraken connects through SnapTrade, like every exchange. You need a Kraken account you can log in to.

Steps

  1. In the terminal, open the account menu and choose Connect.
  2. Choose Kraken. SnapTrade's window opens on Kraken.
  3. Log in to Kraken and approve the connection.
  4. If you are asked for an API key instead, follow the steps below, then paste the key in SnapTrade's window.
  5. Back in Turtle Terminal, your Kraken account imports on its own.

If Kraken asks for an API key

  1. At Kraken, open your account settings and find the API section.
  2. Create a new key.
  3. Allow querying funds, orders and trades, and allow creating and cancelling orders.
  4. Leave withdrawal permissions off. Turtle Terminal never needs them.
  5. Copy the key and its secret into SnapTrade's window. Kraken shows the secret only once.

You can delete the key at Kraken at any time; that disconnects the account.

What you can trade

Spot and margin pairs. Futures aren't supported. Availability depends on where you live and what Kraken offers your account.
