Short answer

How can I manage my Kraken orders with AI?

Your AI can check your active orders, place new spot or futures trades, and cancel specific or all open positions. You get direct control over your Kraken account through your chat interface.

The outcomes

What you can do

These are the specific actions your AI performs on Kraken.

MONITOR

Check active orders

Your AI pulls a list of all currently open orders from Kraken. You'll see exactly what's waiting to be filled.

EXECUTE

Place new trades

Tell your agent to buy or sell. It handles the order entry for both spot and futures markets.

CANCEL

Remove positions

If a trade isn't working, your AI can pull specific orders or clear all open orders at once.

You always stay in control. The AI performs the technical execution, but you decide when to trigger a trade or a cancellation.
