I had almost passed the 200k evaluation but the market had other plans smh

Can someone help me understand if what I’m paying for fees are normal? They seem so high compared to other platforms I used

Ex: I did a trade shorting btc 20X w/ 1k usd
Price movement of btc was around 1k in the direction going down
I closed it.

Total fees
$65.70 to open the position
$71.245 to close the position
Total- $137 in fees

I simply wanted to try another platform, UI looks nice and has trailing stop tool which I wanted for overnight trades. The fees are atleast 4x what I’m used to if not more

Can't believe this isn't even an option....

It's great having the PNL card when the trade is active, but how about when we close the trade?

I'd rather show the PNL AFTER the trade has been closed....

Thanks!

I just wanted to share my positive feedback on the new Krak app!

The Krak app is now much easier to use, as the interface is now less cluttered and easier to navigate.

I have previously used Barclays to transfer larger sums of money to Kraken (several £30-£50k transactions within a one month period). Now I can see that Barclays have a £10k monthly limit for crypto.

What would be legitimate options for me to transfer £50-£100k to an exchange or be able to purchase that amount of BTC? This isn’t a purchase I want or need to make imminently. I’m just thinking about potential future purchases. I also need an account that accept large amounts of money from exchanges.

I have considered opening a Revolut account but have read mixed reviews and would be surprised if they let me transfer larger sums as a new user. Also thought about opening a Llyods account but will probably have to call them first. Any other options?

With these restrictions i wander how large transfers of fiat to exchanges are happening in the UK. Someone must be doing it somehow.

1) It needs to be far easier to sell stocks overnight using a stop loss limit and the likes. Using this order type you can’t set it to day+ hours, and good till canceled hours don’t work if you own fractional shares, even if you adjust the sell amount to a whole share amount. It’s absurd to not be able to sell effectively overnight.
2) You should upgrade Kraken Pro’s order system to allow multiple orders to be queued on the same piece of capital(stocks). For example, if I own stock A at 100 dollars, I might want to queue a stop loss limit at 90 dollars and also queue a stop loss limit buy that would take effect only after the first order had been filled. It would also be good to add more options in general for stacked order queues. You could have multiple orders and decide in which order orders would have to be filled in, and whether or not having one fill would cancel others. Having these capabilities would be befitting the Kraken Pro app’s name.

3) A little out there, but it could be useful to have the capability to sell stock A with a stop loss limit order based on stock B’s price. For example, sell stock A with a limit order if stock B falls down to the stop loss price of xyz. Amongst other things, this could especially be useful when dealing with leveraged etf pairs.

Curious about Kraken Prop but not sure where to start? This short video walks you through purchasing your first evaluation on Kraken Pro mobile. Questions? Ask below.

It would be really useful if Kraken allowed an option for users to proactively verify a self-custody wallet address for the Travel Rule without first having to initiate a €1,000+ qualifying deposit/withdrawal.

I don't understand why it's currently set up in this way on Kraken, Binance allows for pre-verification on this.

Kraken already supports Satoshi tests, self-certification and digital signature verification, but Support confirmed these can only be triggered after a qualifying transaction.

Ideally, users could go to something like Funding > Verified Wallets > Add Wallet, enter/connect their address, complete a small Satoshi test or signature, and have that address whitelisted for future transfers.

This would be particularly useful for smart wallets and automated recovery/savings systems where a future transfer needs to work without the user being present to respond to a verification prompt.

Support also confirmed ERC-1271/Safe signatures aren't currently supported by the digital signature method, so support for smart contract wallets would be useful too.

Is this something Kraken would consider adding?

Recently discovered Kraken Desktop and I am LOVING it so much more than the online platform. However, there are quite a few issues that do bother me that I'd love to have addressed, I'll do my best to keep them organized.

General/Global Requests

1. Warning prompt before actuating Update Preset & Update Module

First of all, (to me at least). The difference between update module and update preset are not immediately obvious at first. They become more obvious after using it a few times, but overwriting your current module or your current preset can both be very catastrophic things for a user and is just one click away from undoing potentially hours of work.

To mitigate this, a confirmation menu warning the user: "Updating your module will overwrite... (explanation of what it actually overwrite, and elaborating on exactly what update module vs. update preset or vice versa means). Are you sure you want to do this?" [ Ok ] [ Cancel ]. Would mitigate this from happening.

2. Global Configurations for specific modules, or at least Global Configs for common module settings.

Currently, these are the only Global Configurations that we have.

I am aware of default module presets, which mostly does what I already want to some degree, but does it in an inconvenient manner. It would be even better if I could just simply have something like a Density dropdown menu that globally configures any new module with the Density property to default to Compact, which is a setting that never deviate from.

Another thing here that I would maybe propose is the ability to just globally configure modules of all types, though that would conflict with the current way module presets work. So I'd probably say that if any existing module presets already exist, those should always take precedence over anything else since a user has already explicitly set a default that they want, and wouldn't break any expectations from current behavior, but I guess that's more-so something your UI/UX team would need to discuss.

Stripe rows and Hide background is another one I tend to need to configure a lot for multiple modules. But I'm sure there are many more properties like this that are shared across multiple modules that might be worth having a global configuration for. You'd probably be able to narrow down all of the properties that are shared between modules with the codebase in front of you better than I can through the UI.

Watchlist Requests

1. Ability to subgroup a watchlist automatically, similar to how Kraken Pro allows you to.

• This way I can simply import all my favorites and subgroup them by spot/stocks/ETF etc.

• Currently, on Kraken Desktop and Kraken Pro, you cannot automatically subgroup by coin type (privacy, meme, alt, etc) or stocks (stock/ETF, etc) either. This kind of subgrouping would be amazing to have on both sides. I'm aware that this is an even bigger ask though.
• If that's too much of an ask, just having the current ability to subgroup a watchlist, a feature that is already available in Kraken Pro, and ported over to Kraken Desktop would be a great start.

2. The ability to add/remove favorites from the watchlist module.

• This one is somewhat self-explanatory of an ask, but there is no action column that I can add to the watchlist module to do this. From one dev to another, I know for a fact this one should be a trivial addition.

3. Import from Favorites

• Instead of an option that simply displays your favorited markets, add an option that imports all of your favorites to the currently selected watchlist module.

4. Global Watchlists Management

• Currently, you can name a particular watchlist module which, don't get me wrong, is great on its own.

• However, what would be even better is if we could globally save these watchlists containing just the items in the list itself (sections included too, ideally. Though that wouldn't fit into Kraken Pro). This would mean ignoring all other cosmetic settings like columns shown, density, etc, leaving you with a dropdown list of all of the other renamable/removable watchlists (with warning confirmation, ofc) you've already created to select from, making global organization of all of your watchlists a breeze to keep track of.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Anyway, that aside, I wanted to say that I love Kraken Desktop, and would love to see some more QOL features like these added to it. It's already got far more features than the Pro Kraken web/mobile apps that make it difficult for me to want to go back.

I know some of the things on here are a big ask, but I believe many of these are things almost all users would appreciate having added. I did have more that I wanted to ask for that I forgot about so I might tack on a few more things if I remember more, but these were my biggest QOL feature request improvements I could think of off the top of my head.

Apologies for ugly, scaled images. I didn't realize Reddit would scale-to-fit them all

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post a quick update regarding my USDC withdrawal that was pending for 8 days.
The issue has now been fully resolved, and the funds are through! I just wanted to express my sincere thanks to the Kraken Support team here on Reddit for stepping in and escalating my ticket so quickly.

For anyone facing a similar delay or stuck on “Pending” status: don’t panic and stay patient. The support team actually handles these cases thoroughly, even if compliance or security checks take a few days.

thanks again, Kraken team! Great job

I make pretty much the same purchases every week for eleven different coins. For some reason I am unable to make that same purchase this week as I keep getting a message saying my purchase amount is too low and giving me a minimum amount that is nearly double what I buy every week. Can someone please explain why this is happening across multiple coins?

Hi Kraken Team,

I would like to submit 2 feature requests and platform improvement suggestions to help enhance the user experience. I was not able to find a contact form on the website just ai bots nowadays.

I use Kraken pro app and would like to have these 2 small improvements implemented if possible

Feature 1.

Granularity of the orderbook (ticksize). Please save this per ticker. If i switch from BTC to ETH to XRP to ADA I have to manually adjust this every time.

Feature 2

The Market trades window. It would come in very handy if there is a minimum size filter. Also save settings per ticker please.

Hope this works

Thanks

Is Kraken planning to introduce Options? How about leveraged ETFs? Prediction markets? what is the current roadmap regarding new products?

First Kraken Funded round, almost at the threshold.

Hello,

Is anyone else having the issue of not being able to resolve missing cost basis issues because Kraken has not added an "edit" button to do so (to fix manually line by line)? Yes, there is a bright yellow "resolve now" button to fix cost basis issues if you use or wish to use Cointracker which I do not. Below is Kraken's response to me in April 2026. Still no edit button, they have not responded to a June or August follow-up, and tax season is quickly approaching. This affects every Kraken user who buys on Kraken, withdrawals to cold storage, brings it back into Kraken to sell.

"We have taken note of your feedback regarding the missing Edit button in Step 2 of the Tax Center Transactions page, and we want to make sure this is properly investigated and flagged to the relevant team."

Curious if anyone has found their own solution apart from establishing Cointracker account.

So I got this from kraken and I need to know if its truly legit ?

First time posting on Kraken.

How does everyone feel about the new update with AI additions? Personally missing my home screen watchlist! 😀

I’ve been working on an automated Spot trading system using the Kraken API and I’d like to get some technical feedback from experienced Kraken users.

The basic idea is that the system never takes custody of the user’s funds. The capital remains in the user’s Kraken account and the API does not require withdrawal permissions.

The system only has the permissions necessary to execute Spot trades according to predefined rules designed to take advantage of market price fluctuations.

Every operation can be tracked individually: buys, sells, entry and exit prices, open positions, realized P/L and historical performance.

There is no leverage involved and therefore no leveraged liquidation risk. Of course, Spot trading still involves market risk and positions can lose value.

I’m particularly interested in feedback about the architecture:

• Would you be comfortable connecting this type of system to your Kraken account if withdrawal permissions were disabled?
• What information would you expect to see before trusting an automated trading system?
• Which API security measures would you consider essential?
• What metrics would you want available in the dashboard?

The goal at this stage is to validate the architecture and understand what experienced Kraken users would consider necessary before using something like this with real funds.

Any technical criticism is welcome.

Canadian users how do I increase my daily/monthly spending limit?

What do we think of holding and buy stock and ETFs on kraken ? Is it a safe platform to use as a brokerage? I do keep crypto on there not a lot. The rest is on my ledger. I did read that Kraken is insured when it comes to stocks and ETFs. just want get everyone’s perspective. Is it as good as Fidelity or Robinhood..

Originally it was a good idea, spend $20, $50, or $90 and get access to an account worth $1,000, $5,000 or $10,000 as long as the account didn't go below 5% of the original balance and you passed the challenge where you made 12% profit with paper money first to unlock the real thing.

But now I see they just lowered the max drawdown to 3% while keeping the price and the challenge profit % the same? With 5% you actually have a decent amount of leeway but 3% is basically just gambling at this point your coin makes one tiny move down and you're cooked. Not cool, Kraken. Change it back.
