Automate TradingView alerts to Kraken

Nyria lets you auto trade each TradingView alert in your Kraken account.

Setup steps

Point the TradingView alert's webhook at a Nyria strategy. Then connect your Kraken account in Nyria with your own Kraken API key, in beta. Each alert becomes a spot order in your own Kraken account. Nyria connects live Kraken accounts only, so test it free on Nyria Paper first.

  1. 1Connect Kraken. In Kraken, open the API tab under Settings and create an API key with Query Funds, Query Open Orders & Trades, Query Closed Orders & Trades, Modify Orders and Cancel/Close Orders on, and Withdraw Funds off. In Nyria, select Integrations, then the Kraken card, paste the API key and private key, then select Connect Kraken.
  2. 2Create a strategy. In Nyria, select Create strategy and pick TradingView as the alert source. Choose crypto spot as the asset type. Set what an entry and an exit do on each side.
  3. 3Create the alert in TradingView. Open the alert dialog from the Alert button on the top toolbar. Set the Condition to your strategy or indicator. Open Message, paste the message from the strategy's Integration tab and select Apply. Open Notifications, tick Webhook URL, paste the strategy's webhook URL and select Apply. Then select Create. TradingView sends webhooks on its paid plans only, with two-factor sign-in on.
  4. 4Check the format. Back in Nyria, select Check format, then Check and save. The strategy turns Active once Nyria reads every side correctly. The Logs tab shows the ticker, side and contract it read.
  5. 5Deploy a bot. On the strategy, select Deploy bot. Pick the Kraken account on the Account step and set a Budget per entry. Live bots need a Nyria Pro plan or a Premium strategy you have bought. The next alert becomes an order.

What a TradingView alert must say

Nyria needs the ticker, the side, and whether it opens or closes a position. It reads plain text or JSON in your own wording. There is no template to follow. For options, the alert says long or short. The strategy's rules pick the contract.

TradingView posts the Message box as written, plain text or JSON. Placeholders such as {{ticker}} and {{strategy.order.action}} fill in when the alert fires. One alert can serve every symbol a chart is on.

An alert cannot set the size: each bot's budget per entry does. Exits come from your exit alerts.

A stock entry

{ "ticker": "NVDA", "action": "buy" }

Buy NVDA. The alert carries no size, so each bot's budget per entry sets it.

An exit

{ "ticker": "NVDA", "action": "sell" }

Close the NVDA position, matched against what the bot is holding.

What Kraken does with it

Kraken connects with an API key, not a sign-in. Nyria stores the API key and private key encrypted at rest. An IP address restriction is optional. Nyria places and cancels orders and has no feature that moves money.

Options aren't offered on this connection. An options alert places no order at Kraken.

Nyria trades the pairs Kraken lists, in fractional coin amounts.

Each alert becomes a market or limit order, as the strategy sets it. Nothing waits at the broker between alerts. The exit comes from your alert.
