Automate TradingView alerts to Kraken Futures

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

Perpetual futures
A crypto spot strategy: the long entry set to enter a position at market, the short side set to exit the long, with the note that spot crypto can't be shorted, then the review of what each alert does

Setup steps

Point the TradingView alert's webhook at a Nyria strategy. Then connect your Kraken Futures account in Nyria with an API key. Each alert becomes a market order on Kraken's USD perpetuals. Nyria connects live Kraken Futures accounts only. Test it free on Nyria Paper first.

  1. 1Connect Kraken Futures. Select Integrations, then the Kraken Futures card. Paste the API key and private key. Select Connect Kraken Futures.
  2. 2Create a strategy. In Nyria, select Create strategy and pick TradingView as the alert source. Choose crypto perpetuals 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 Futures 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.

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 long entry, as text

OPEN BTCUSD LONG

Open a long on the BTC USD perpetual, sized by each bot's budget per entry.

A short entry, as text

OPEN BTC/USD SHORT

Open a short on the BTC USD perpetual. Nyria reads BTC/USD and BTCUSD as the same coin.

An exit

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

Close the long the bot holds, as a reduce-only market order.

What Kraken Futures does with it

Kraken Futures connects with an API key, not a sign-in. Nyria stores the API key and private key encrypted at rest. The key needs General API set to Full Access, with Withdrawal API set to No Access. Liquidation is done by the exchange. Nyria places only the orders your alerts ask for.

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

Nyria trades Kraken's USD perpetuals. Dated and inverse futures aren't supported.

Each alert becomes a market order, long or short, sized in contracts by each bot's budget per entry. An exit goes out as its own reduce-only market order. Limit, take profit and stop orders are refused. The exit comes from your alert.
