[@the_dude_josh]

holy s**t I literally requested a kraken api on your coinbase video a few days ago. Glad you were already working on it when I asked haha.

[@Natenjo]

Thank you, nice & inspiring video. Set this up right away and I will see what I will be implementing around this ;)

[@jeffs5528]

This is a brilliant post. Thanks very much. Is it possible for you to put the code up somewhere to copy?

[@anfas2005]

Thanks a lot

[@superhuman9031]

Could you please make an end to end project along with deployment which takes data live from the stock market and includes technical analysis tools required for trading?

[@charlesrice1020]

Yo quick question what was the purpose of the mac under the signature method? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@maxs.8146]

Thank you very much for this video. With your help I was able to write my own autoinvest bot to save some fee's (0.16% vs. 1.5%) which will invest once every month.

[@MrSaadmoinkhan]

I am attempting to create a bot just to do that. Normal Kraken app is costing 1.5%

[@maxs.8146]

@@MrSaadmoinkhan You have to find a good multiplication factor so your order is always a little lower than the current market price (like 0,9999). Otherwise, your order will be canceled instantly or it will never be filled

[@MrSaadmoinkhan]

@@maxs.8146 yeah that makes sense. Although I'm using trailing stop orders now, automated a lot of it

[@FireFly969]

Thanks

[@samuelsnipes3330]

Where can we get/make a list of all available trading pairs in USD? I know you can use /0/public/Assets , but that just returns a huge list of all assrts and data. I just want to make a list like XXBTVZUSD, SDGZUSD, etc to loop through all of them and do some analysis

[@MrRezhes]

Hi Florian, many many thanks for this video and all amazing job u have done, it has been very helpful, I have got a question regarding the str(int(1000 * time.time())), why do we need to multiply the current time by 1000? what is the reason?

[@maxs.8146]

I think thats a kraken specific thing. The time has to be in milliseconds

[@Mikesors]

time.time returns number of seconds since 1980. Every API call requests "nonce"-number, that must be higher than the last one. so if you just round it, you cannot make api calls more than 1 time per second.

[@maartenregterschot8423]

Does this work for futures as well?

[@mandi4820]

Hey, I need to ask you something I want to use bid/ask walls as entry points for my strategy: Entry = limit buy just above bid wall Exit = stop limit sell above Entry Or Entry = limit sell just below ask wall Exit = stop limit buy below Entry I can do this manually but automating it has been an absolute headache Can you by chance refer me to a tutorial, article or doc that might help with this? If you've got a video on it even better!

[@RobinArgumido]

Trading bots are mostly scams... but there are exceptions. You just need a lot a patience to backtest and run many bots, discard the ones that are scams and keep playing with the ones that are good. EDIT: since so many of you ask, yes I use Galileo FX...

[@maxs.8146]

@@RobinArgumido Crazy, I would love to learn from you how to edit comments without editing them ;)

[@IgansF]

Great

[@chev__7857]

is api sec youer private key?

[@rh169]

Do you offer one on one coaching?

[@ChetanBhasin]

You could include the nonce addition in the function that makes the request. It doesn't make sense to include it for every request that you make.

[@privateeye242]

I think you're mistaken cause Kraken says: Nonce must be an always increasing, unsigned 64-bit integer, for each request that is made with a particular API key. While a simple counter would provide a valid nonce, a more usual method of generating a valid nonce is to use e.g. a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.

[@lokhz9876]

would be great a video about a bot using tradingview to automatically(like selling/being on the moving average etc...) trade on binance. Please

[@chromashift]

I'm fairly certain this method would be the same for binance, coinbase, or any other platform that allows API mediated trades; I in fact am using it for another project.

[@TechChiefYT]

What file type is your keys file? I used .txt and I get: TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' I changed the 'r' to 'rb' for read bytes, but I don't think this is the proper approach for me, since I get invalid api key upon request. You said you used a text file, which I am using. But maybe this is an issue with OS X?

[@africanhubza]

same

[@SuperStifani]

I have the same problem as you, were you able to solve it?

[@TechChiefYT]

@@SuperStifani yes I had to switch operating systems lol

[@jamescaleb9676]

too simple. you should at least implement a simple moving ave or macd strategy so we can see it all from start to finish.
