kraken-paper-to-live

kraken-paper-to-live is a skill for Claude Code from krakenfx/kraken-cli. It costs 25 tokens per session (2,348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A gated process for moving a validated trading strategy from paper trading, which simulates trades, to live trading with real orders. It requires experiment evidence and safety checks before promotion.

In plain words
What is it for?
For checking paper results, running live-trading preflight checks, switching paper commands to live ones, and setting safety controls before trading.
Why use it?
It highlights differences between simulated and real trading, including fees, slippage, partial fills, order queues, and network delays.

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-paper-to-live 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-paper-to-live

Use this skill for:

  • validating a strategy has stable paper results before going live
  • running pre-flight checks before first live trade
  • migrating paper commands to their live equivalents
  • establishing safety controls for the live session

Paper-to-Live Performance Gap

Both spot and futures paper trading simulate taker fees (0.26% spot, configurable for futures). Spot paper supports optional flat-rate slippage simulation via --slippage-rate. Gaps remain between paper and live. Before promoting, factor in:

  • Fees are approximate. Paper uses flat fee rates. Real fees depend on your volume tier and maker/taker status. Each round-trip trade costs 0.32-0.52% at base tier.
  • Slippage is a flat estimate. If --slippage-rate was set (spot), market orders include a fixed slippage factor. Real slippage depends on order book depth, order size, and volatility. Futures paper does not model depth-based slippage.
  • No partial fills or latency. Limit orders fill fully or not at all. Live orders may partially fill, queue, or be rejected. Network and matching-engine latency can cause missed entries or exits.
  • Maker fees: Paper uses taker fee rates for all fills. Live limit orders that provide liquidity pay lower maker fees (0.16% spot).

When presenting promotion analysis to the user, note the remaining gaps (partial fills, depth-dependent slippage, tier-based fees). If slippage was not configured in paper, explicitly state that live market orders will fill at worse prices.

Promotion Gate — evidence, not narrative

Never propose a live order without the evidence block below. The gate rule: at least 2 passing sessions of one frozen experiment, of which a live paper session is mandatory. Replay sessions enter the evidence only with their lookahead caveat attached — replay cannot enforce lookahead (the agent can read the source dataset), so replay screens and live confirms; two replay passes must never promote on their own.

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.
