Kraken Trading Bot
RUNS ON YOUR DESKTOP · YOUR KRAKEN ACCOUNT · SPOT ONLY
Crow Trader is a desktop trading bot that connects to Kraken through your own account. It runs on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows, keeps your API keys on your machine, and never routes your orders through anyone else's server.
Start free in Evaluation mode: paper trade Kraken pairs on live public prices and backtest strategies on historical candles. When you are ready, a license plus your own Kraken API keys and an explicit confirm-to-enable step unlock live spot trading.
What the bot does on Kraken
- Paper trading on live prices. A shared USDC/USDT quote pool, starting capital you choose, realized P&L, and per-pair on/off switches.
- Backtesting. Run any of the nine strategies against historical candles, then start the same configuration as paper with no re-entry.
- Multi-pair board. Clone a proven setup onto the top 20 same-quote spot pairs over $50M daily volume, each sized at 5% of paper capital.
- Licensed live trading. Spot only, on your own Kraken API keys, behind a confirm-to-enable switch. Fees come from Kraken directly — no markup.
Nine configurable strategies
Bollinger Band Trails, Crow Donchian Breakout, Crow EMA Crossover, Crow EMA Sniper, Crow Grid, Crow Squeeze, Crow Supertrend, Double EMA Gainer, and Dual HMA PSAR. Every knob — timeframes, gain targets, stops, trailing, DCA, cooldowns — is yours to set, and the in-app Strategy Guide explains what each one does. See the strategies with real screenshots →
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Is a Kraken trading bot allowed?
- Kraken supports API trading through user-generated API keys, which is exactly how Crow Trader connects. You create the keys in your own Kraken account and they stay on your computer.
- Does Crow Trader hold my crypto or exchange account?
- No. You bring your own exchange account and your own API keys. Crow Trader never holds funds, and trading fees come from your exchange directly — there is no hidden markup.
- Is there a free way to try Crow Trader?
- Yes, two. Evaluation mode is free and unlocks paper trading and backtesting with live trading locked. The Free Weex license (register through the Crow Trader referral and honor your Weex UID) unlocks Weex-only live trading when you enable it. The Full license is $199 paid in ADA and unlocks every supported venue.
- How does live trading unlock?
- Three explicit steps: a license (Free Weex or Full), your own exchange API keys, and a confirm-to-enable switch inside the app. Live trading is spot only — no futures, no leverage. Nothing on the website can turn live trading on.
- Is Crow Trader finished software?
- Crow Trader is a public beta. Expect bugs and updates. Paper trading and backtesting are the recommended starting point, and past performance — paper or live — never guarantees future results.
