kraken-grid-trading

kraken-grid-trading is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,130 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trading method that places buy orders below a chosen price range and sell orders above it at fixed intervals. When one order fills, the method prepares a matching order at the next level.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a trading pair, price range, number of levels, and order size; place or manage grid orders; and test the strategy in a paper-trading workspace.
Why use it?
It provides a rule-based way to trade markets that move sideways within a range. Paper testing lets you check the settings before using real funds.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kraken-grid-trading scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

kraken-grid-trading

Use this skill for:

  • placing a grid of limit orders across a price range
  • profiting from sideways/ranging markets
  • managing grid state (filled orders, replacements)
  • paper-testing grid parameters before live deployment

Core Concept

Grid trading places buy orders below the current price and sell orders above it at fixed intervals. When a buy fills, a corresponding sell is placed one grid level higher. When a sell fills, a corresponding buy is placed one grid level lower. Profit comes from capturing the spread at each level.

Grid Parameters

Define before starting:

  • Pair: e.g., BTCUSD
  • Range: lower bound to upper bound (e.g., 55000-65000)
  • Grid levels: number of orders (e.g., 10)
  • Order size: volume per grid level (e.g., 0.001 BTC)

Grid spacing = (upper - lower) / grid levels.

Paper Grid Test

Always test in paper mode first:

kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox

# Place buy grid below current price
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 57000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 56000 -o json 2>/dev/null

# Place sell grid above current price
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 62000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 63000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 64000 -o json 2>/dev/null

kraken paper orders -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

Live Grid Placement

  1. Read current price to center the grid:
    kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Calculate grid levels (agent logic).
  3. Validate each order:
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
    
  4. Place orders (requires human approval for the full grid):
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 -o json 2>/dev/null
    kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 57000 -o json 2>/dev/null
    # ... remaining grid levels
    
  5. Use batch orders when placing 2-15 orders:
    kraken order batch grid-orders.json --pair BTCUSD --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
    kraken order batch grid-orders.json --pair BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
