kraken-paper-strategy

kraken-paper-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 17 tokens per session (629 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for testing spot-market trading rules with simulated orders before using real money. Paper trading means practising with a local simulation based on live market prices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to rehearse spot-trading strategies on Kraken, including order sizing and simple portfolio rebalancing. It does not cover leveraged futures trading.
Why use it?
It lets you check entry, exit, position-sizing, rebalancing, and error-handling logic without risking funds. The simulation includes configurable fees and slippage but assumes orders fill fully and immediately.

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-paper-strategy 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kraken-paper-strategy

Use this skill for:

  • validating entry and exit logic on spot markets
  • testing position sizing and simple rebalance loops
  • rehearsing error handling without risk

For futures paper trading (leverage, margin, shorts, liquidation), see kraken futures paper commands. This skill covers spot paper trading only.

Limitations

Paper trading runs locally against live market prices. It simulates fees and slippage but has other limitations.

  • Fees are configurable. A 0.26% taker fee (Kraken Starter tier) is applied by default. Override with --fee-rate at workspace create (fixed for the account's life). Real fees vary by volume tier and maker/taker status. Live maker fees are lower (0.16%).
  • Slippage is configurable. A flat slippage rate can be applied to market orders with --slippage-rate (default: 0.0). Market buys fill at ask * (1 + slippage_rate), sells at bid * (1 - slippage_rate). This is a conservative approximation; real slippage depends on order book depth, size, and volatility.
  • No partial fills or rejection. Paper orders always fill in full immediately. Live orders may partially fill, queue, or be rejected.

When presenting paper results to the user, note that partial fills and order book dynamics are not simulated. If slippage is set to 0.0 (default), remind the user that live market orders will fill at worse prices.

Baseline Workflow

kraken workspace create sandbox --capital 10000 --mode paper --currency USD --slippage-rate 0.001 -o json 2>/dev/null
export KRAKEN_WORKSPACE=sandbox
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.01 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.005 --type limit --price 70000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper orders -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper history -o json 2>/dev/null

Reset Between Runs

kraken workspace reset -o json --yes 2>/dev/null

Migration Rule

Only move a strategy to live trading after:

  1. repeated paper runs with stable behavior
  2. explicit user sign-off
  3. --validate checks pass for live order payloads
