I'm happy to announce that Cryptotrader now supports Automated Trading with Kraken API https://cryptotrader.org/topics/199880/kraken-released

Nice - thanks for adding us pulsecat. I made the statement below in another thread, but it's applicable here too. It's just a precaution that applies to any third party service related to Kraken - nothing specific against Cryptotrader.

Generally speaking, it's great that people want to offer third party services related to our exchange. However, such services are used entirely at your own risk. It's up to you to do your own due diligence to ensure the service is safe to use. Another thing to keep in mind is that when you use any Kraken-related third party service, it's best not to use the same email that's associated with your Kraken account, since your Kraken email is a potential point of attack for your account. Of course, you also don't want to use the same username, password, etc. Whenever you use a third party service, you shouldn't give the third party any information that might be used to discover or gain access to your Kraken account.

nice, but do you still doesn't lag the signal by a period while estimating signal's execution price?

Thanks for letting us know - we're looking into it. We won't know the reason for it until we investigate.

It could be difficult to miss that when you look at the price chart

Hi Dargo,

could you please have a look at ticket 23413?
It was my mistake on friday 28th of march to have forgotten my Kraken ID on my Fidor deposit transfer and it is not very late, I`d just like it not to take weeks to resolve, so I`m posting it here just in case I can do anything else to speed up the process.

Thanks and cheerio from a very satisfied customer!

I found your deposit in our unclaimed funds (which is where deposits go when we can't match them with a Kraken account). We'll credit it to your account as soon as possible.

That was quick!!!!!!!! Thank`s a lot!!

I guess we have all seen this anomaly.
This morning the price jumped from 375 to 444 and then back to 360 all at the same time, and there have been lots of sales orders in the book lower than 444 at this moment.
I am still not getting why this is possible. I mean, we are speaking about a 2BTC trade which made it to 444. Is that related to low volume, if yes - How?

Is there any instruction on website to tell what is what, I am confused by stupid names like XDG instead of DOGE. What the tell is KRW, XVN (this one is actually explained in "Help") and why they are named like this? I heard that Bitcoin have been given technical abbreviation XBT to be used on trading markets, but all the others?

You can go here to see what is what:

https://www.kraken.com/help/fees-and-pair-info

In the ISO 4217 currency code convention, currency codes that begin with "X" indicate that it's a currency that isn't specific to any country. Since digital currencies aren't specific to any country, this convention has been adopted for some of them (e.g. XBT for Bitcoin, XRP for Ripple currency, XPM for Primecoin). We extend this to Dogecoin (XDG) and Ven (XDG), but so far as I know we are alone in this so far, and we obviously don't do it for all currencies (we don't do it for Litecoin or Namecoin). Ultimately ISO 4217 may not be the best convention to adopt, but it would be nice if digital currencies were integrated into some globally recognized standard.

KRW is the officially recognized code for South Korean Won.

any news regarding that issue?

[btsake]

Anyone else having problems with BTC deposits?

I made 2 deposits today, but thus far both are 'confirming' although there are 27 confirmation for the first and 8 for the second deposit, funds should be added after 6.

I can make a ticket, but maybe posting here is faster .

Edit: same is happening on LTC deposits...

[ledmaniak]

Yep, waiting for three hours already for a litecoin deposit..

[btsake]

Ok, I made a ticket. I guess their support will fix it ASAP as they just started the day (it's 9:36 PST). Would be nice to have it fixed before the weekend or I need some BTC rehab .

We're looking into this. We will fix it ASAP, but I don't have an ETA at this time. As a general rule, you should create a ticket for any issue you have. In some cases, it might be good to post about here as well, but it's better not to just post about it here and not create a ticket.

[Dargo]

Update: we're working on the stuck digital currency transactions. It's mostly an issue with bitcoin transactions, but some litecoin and dogecoin transactions as well. We'll respond to individual tickets as soon as we can, but the priority at the moment is to get transactions going. So we're on it even if you don't hear from us through your individual ticket for a while.

A bitcoin withdrawal initiated at 04-04-14 19:02:49 +0000 i.e. about 33 minutes ago remains in state "Sent" in Kraken's withdrawal page (in contrast to all the others that say "Success", and the transaction does not appear on blockchain.info. Should I be concerned?

edit: Dargo's previous post answers my question I suppose. Bumpy week for me this week!

edit: Now appears on blockchain.info with two confirmations. Unsure if I was just being paranoid or if something got fixed.

[Dargo]

Update: we believe the issue with stuck bitcoin, litecoin, and dogecoin transactions has been resolved, but please let us know if you still have a problem.

UPDATE 20/Feb/2014 02:24 PST:
USD Deposits Temporarily Disabled

Unfortunately, we've reached the limit of our US bank's capacity to deal with the volume on our account. Many USD withdrawals have been delayed beyond a limit we can accept, and it reflects poorly on our service. Rather than continue to disappoint, we've decided to suspend USD deposits until a more robust banking partner is acquired. In the meantime, USD withdrawals and trading will continue to be available, though we strongly encourage USD traders to shift to our EUR pairs. Most major banks will allow you to send EUR even if your account only holds USD.

From Account/Funding page:

USD Deposits Temporarily Suspended

USD deposits are suspended until April 1st, 2014. We encourage you to trade the EUR pairs in the meantime. Most major banks will allow you to send EUR, even if you only hold a USD balance.

USD withdrawals are still being processed

It's already April 5th, 2014.

What's the ETA on resuming USD deposits?
