What it does

Kraken Grid Trading is an agent skill from krakenfx/kraken-cli. Grid trading strategy with layered buy and sell orders across a price range.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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, covering Trading and backtesting. 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

Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

Example prompts

“/kraken-grid-trading”

Workflow steps

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

Read current price to center the grid
Calculate grid levels (agent logic).
Validate each order
Place orders (requires human approval for the full grid)
Use batch orders when placing 2-15 orders

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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
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 Grid Trading loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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.

description: Grid trading strategy with layered buy and sell orders across a price range.
version: 1.0.0

kraken-grid-trading

Use this skill for:

placing a grid of limit orders across a price range
profiting from sideways/ranging markets
managing grid state (filled orders, replacements)
paper-testing grid parameters before live deployment

Core Concept

Grid trading places buy orders below the current price and sell orders above it at fixed intervals. When a buy fills, a corresponding sell is placed one grid level higher. When a sell fills, a corresponding buy is placed one grid level lower. Profit comes from capturing the spread at each level.

Grid Parameters

Define before starting:

Pair: e.g., BTCUSD
Range: lower bound to upper bound (e.g., 55000-65000)
Grid levels: number of orders (e.g., 10)
Order size: volume per grid level (e.g., 0.001 BTC)

Grid spacing = (upper - lower) / grid levels.

Paper Grid Test

Always test in paper mode first:

bash

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

# Place buy grid below current price
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 57000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 56000 -o json 2>/dev/null

# Place sell grid above current price
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 62000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 63000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken paper sell BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 64000 -o json 2>/dev/null

kraken paper orders -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken workspace status -o json 2>/dev/null

Live Grid Placement

Read current price to center the grid:
bash
```
kraken ticker BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null
```
Calculate grid levels (agent logic).

Validate each order:

bash

kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 --validate -o json 2>/dev/null

Place orders (requires human approval for the full grid):

bash

kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 58000 -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken order buy BTCUSD 0.001 --type limit --price 57000 -o json 2>/dev/null
# ... remaining grid levels

Use batch orders when placing 2-15 orders:

bash

kraken order batch grid-orders.json --pair BTCUSD --validate -o json 2>/dev/null
kraken order batch grid-orders.json --pair BTCUSD -o json 2>/dev/null

Grid Maintenance Loop

Monitor fills and replace completed orders:

Check open orders:
bash
```
kraken open-orders -o json 2>/dev/null
```

Check recent trades for fills:

bash

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

For each filled buy at level N, place a sell at level N+1.
For each filled sell at level N, place a buy at level N-1.

Stream executions for real-time fill detection:

bash

kraken ws executions -o json 2>/dev/null

Show full SKILL.md (150 more words)Show less

Grid Shutdown

Cancel all grid orders cleanly:

bash

kraken order cancel-all -o json 2>/dev/null

Or cancel specific orders by TXID:

bash

kraken order cancel-batch <TXID1> <TXID2> <TXID3> -o json 2>/dev/null

Risk Considerations

Grid trading profits in ranging markets but loses in strong trends.
If price moves below the entire grid, the agent accumulates the asset at a loss.
If price moves above the entire grid, the agent sells all holdings and misses further upside.
Set stop-loss boundaries outside the grid range to limit downside.

Hard Rules

Never place a live grid without explicit human approval.
Paper-test every grid configuration before live deployment.
Enable cancel-after for unattended grid sessions.
Track total grid P&L, not just individual level fills.
Cancel the entire grid before adjusting parameters; do not leave orphaned orders.
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.
