ProtectThePrin1 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hi love the software, but I was wondering if it's possible to add kraken for crypto feeds and trading. Their API info is here https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/categories/360000080686-API. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jerry Medved Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 though they do have an API, they only have snapshot data. No streaming. https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000906063-Does-Kraken-offer-a-Live-Streaming-API-WebSocket- Though MT can work with a snapshot API, it is definitely not optimal, particularly when the snapshot API does not allow you to get quotes on multiple symbols at a time, and then also puts heavy limits on the # of requests that can be made. Right now we have other Crypto stuff on the todo list, as well as other projects. Once those are done, we will look at kraken again. Hopefully they will get the streaming API done by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ProtectThePrin1 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Too bad, they don't have too much volume but it appears to be legit and they allow shorting of some tokens; hopefully they will have a streaming API soon.

0 ProtectThePrin1 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 I don't know how far along you guys are along on other crypto projects, because I know you've made a lot of progress in general, but Kraken has progressed and has officially announced what I believe is a streaming api. On top of that they are adding derivative trading. Obviously you have you priorities, but I thought I'd give a heads up. Thanks very much!

0 Jerry Medved Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 streaming API makes a big difference. Will check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bigt11 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Any updated plans on adding Kraken with the there more advanced api. Looks like they have streaming market data https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000672023-What-is-an-API-What-does-an-API-do- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jerry Medved Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 no not yet. Still on the todo list. Right now we added Fidelity trading and are adding Webull (next beta probably). after that will look at Kraken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
