What it does

Kraken Dca Strategy is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Dollar cost averaging with scheduled buys and performance tracking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: The first AI-native CLI for trading crypto, stocks, forex, and derivatives. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Business, Finance & HR work in your project

Example prompts

“/kraken-dca-strategy”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Check current price
Calculate volume from dollar amount (e.g., $100 at current price)
Validate the order
Execute (requires human approval)
Log the trade for cost basis tracking.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa56e59. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kraken Dca Strategy loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: kraken-dca-strategy
description: Dollar cost averaging with scheduled buys and performance tracking.
version: 1.0.0

kraken-dca-strategy

Use this skill for:

implementing a recurring buy strategy at fixed intervals
tracking average cost basis over time
comparing DCA performance against lump-sum entry
running DCA simulations in paper mode first

Core Concept

Dollar cost averaging buys a fixed dollar amount of an asset at regular intervals regardless of price. This reduces timing risk and smooths entry cost over volatile periods.

Paper DCA Loop (Test First)

Always validate the strategy in paper mode before going live.

The paper buy command takes base-asset volume, not dollar amount. Calculate volume first:

bash

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

# Calculate BTC volume for a $100 buy at current price
PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price')
VOLUME=$(echo "scale=8; 100 / $PRICE" | bc)

# Simulate weekly buys
kraken paper buy BTCUSD $VOLUME -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

# Repeat buy, check status each iteration
kraken paper buy BTCUSD $VOLUME -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

kraken paper history -o json 2>/dev/null

Live DCA Single Buy

Each interval, the agent executes one market buy for the fixed amount:

Check current price:

bash

kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null

Calculate volume from dollar amount (e.g., $100 at current price):

bash

PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].last_price')
VOLUME=$(echo "scale=8; 100 / $PRICE" | bc)

Validate the order:

bash

kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market --validate -o json 2>/dev/null

Execute (requires human approval):

bash

kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type market -o json 2>/dev/null

Log the trade for cost basis tracking.

Cost Basis Tracking

After each buy, query trade history to compute running average:

bash

kraken trades-history --consolidate-taker -o json 2>/dev/null

The agent should maintain a running total:

Total invested (sum of all dollar amounts)
Total units acquired (sum of all volumes)
Average cost = total invested / total units
Current value = total units * current price
Unrealized P&L = current value - total invested

Show full SKILL.md (172 more words)Show less

Limit-Order DCA Variant

Instead of market buys, place limit orders slightly below the current price for better fills:

bash

PRICE=$(kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[].bid_price')
LIMIT=$(echo "scale=2; $PRICE * 0.998" | bc)
VOLUME=$(echo "scale=8; 100 / $LIMIT" | bc)
kraken order buy BTCUSD $VOLUME --type limit --price $LIMIT -o json 2>/dev/null

Check fill status at the next interval. Cancel unfilled orders before placing new ones:

bash

kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken order cancel <UNFILLED_TXID> -o json 2>/dev/null

Multi-Asset DCA

Split a fixed budget across multiple assets (e.g., 60% BTC, 30% ETH, 10% SOL):

bash

# $100 total: $60 BTC, $30 ETH, $10 SOL
# Calculate volumes for each, then place orders sequentially

Scheduling

The CLI does not include a built-in scheduler. Agents should use external scheduling (cron, task scheduler, or the agent's own loop timer) to trigger DCA buys at the chosen interval (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly).

Hard Rules

Never execute live DCA buys without explicit human approval for the strategy and per-trade confirmation (unless operating at autonomy level 4+).
Always paper-test the DCA loop first.
Track cost basis after every buy; do not lose history.
Cancel stale limit orders before placing new ones to avoid duplicate exposure.
If you hit a mismatch between what you are trying to do and the CLI's interface or responses — including a mismatch between this skill and the installed CLI version's contract — feel free to submit feedback with kraken feedback.
