How it works
A trading bot, a public track record, and a switch that lets your Kraken account copy every trade. That's the whole product.
Rules, not hunches
The engine runs a trend system on daily candles across 50+ Kraken markets. It waits for two specific setups, a fresh breakout or a confirmed dip-resumption inside a strong trend, sizes the position off volatility so no single trade can hurt too much, and exits mechanically: a hard stop under every entry, a trailing stop that follows winners up, and a patience limit that cuts any trade still underwater after a week. Most days nothing qualifies and it does nothing. Doing nothing is a position.
The exact rules and settings are the one thing I keep private — that's the recipe. Everything the recipe produces is public: every trade, win, loss and flat stretch, live on the front page.
The AI can only say no
Most "AI trading bots" are dishonest about this, so let me be precise: the model does not pick trades, read charts, or manage positions. After the rules have already decided to buy, an AI gets one question — is there hard news that makes this a bad idea right now, like a hack, a delisting or a regulatory action? It may answer "veto." That is its entire authority. If the check fails, the trade proceeds. The system is mechanical; the model is a circuit breaker.
The numbers aren't flattered
Every fill on the track record is priced through real fees, spread and slippage — a deliberately pessimistic accounting of what each trade would actually cost. No free-fill fantasy, no cherry-picked window, no deleted losers.
Circuit breakers, then a human
The engine also watches itself. If losses ever stack up in ways its own history says they shouldn't (a deep drawdown from a peak, an unusually long losing streak, or total equity slipping under a hard floor) it stops opening new trades and emails its operator before doing anything else. Positions already open keep their stops either way. The point is simple: no silent death spiral, ever.
What copy-trading really does
⚠ Simulated signals, real orders
The strategy account trades in simulation. Your account does not. When the engine opens a position, a real market order is submitted to the Kraken account of every user who has copy-trading switched on, sized against that user's own balance and their chosen trade-size percentage. My own Kraken account has copy-trading switched on under the same rules — I take the same fills you do.
You can lose money, up to and including all of it. Stops can slip through gaps. Market orders fill where the book is, not where you'd like. A strategy that has worked can stop working the day you join. This is not financial advice, and I am not your adviser — I'm just a person who built a bot and left the door open.
Give the key only Query Funds and Create & Modify Orders permissions. Never withdrawal. You keep custody of your funds at all times, and you can switch the whole thing off in one click.
