Trade crypto with
discipline, not hope.
A disciplined crypto trading and backtesting platform for the Kraken API — built to stop you losing money to fees, slippage, and overtrading. Every signal must beat its full cost before it is considered, and nothing goes live until you have proven it in paper.
A Kraken trading bot that won't blow up your account: hard risk limits, an emergency kill switch, and walk-forward backtests with no look-ahead bias. Paper trade before going live — always. Results are simulated; markets diverge. See the risk disclaimer. New here? Read why we built this.
No profit promises. No hidden fees. Read the risk disclaimer before using live mode.
Built for operators who take losses seriously
Most crypto bots optimise for excitement. This one optimises for survival. Three modes, one rule set: every signal records its reason, every reject records why. You always know exactly what the machine did and why — because the fastest way to stop losing money is to stop guessing.
Disciplined crypto trading, by design
Each feature exists to solve a real way traders lose money. No promises — just guardrails you can audit.
The problem: fees, spread, and slippage quietly eat marginal trades. Our realistic cost model applies all three plus a safety buffer before a signal is considered. If the edge can't beat total friction, the signal is rejected — not traded anyway.
The problem: most backtests cheat with future data and lie about results. Our crypto backtesting software replays strategies on historical Kraken candles with no look-ahead bias, itemising win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, fees paid, and net P&L per trade.
The problem: people risk real money before they understand the strategy. Here, paper trading is the default. Live trading requires an explicit confirmation gate and stays blocked while the kill switch is engaged.
The problem: one bad run wipes a year of gains. The risk engine enforces per-trade sizing, daily loss caps, consecutive-loss cooldowns, and an emergency global kill switch. No runaway losses, no "just one more trade".
The problem: untracked, impulsive actions compound mistakes. Every operator action — balance change, mode switch, kill switch toggle — is logged with user and IP, so discipline is enforced and reviewable.
The problem: black-box bots never tell you why they skipped a trade. Every rejected signal records the exact reason — stale data, spread too wide, conflicting indicators, cost not beaten, risk lockout — so you can audit every decision.
How it works
Ingest OHLC candles from Kraken and score pairs by volume, spread, and realised volatility to build a focus list.
Evaluate trend signals against the strategy rules and a realistic cost model. Reject anything that can't beat fees, spread, and slippage.
Approved signals pass through the risk engine — max positions, daily loss cap, kill switch — before the paper executor simulates a fill.
Open positions are managed on later candles: stop-loss, take-profit, trailing, or max-age — whichever fires first.
Trade with discipline. Start in paper.
Prove a strategy with walk-forward backtesting, then paper trade before going live — no real capital at risk until you decide. It's the disciplined crypto trading workflow, built into every step.
This is not investment advice.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Backtests are simulations that assume model assumptions hold; real markets can and do diverge. Trading cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk including the total loss of capital. Only use live mode after you have thoroughly validated your strategy in paper trading and fully understand the risks.
