Yes you are right, the Kraken account must be funded. I had the same issue the first time calling the API.
Here there is the response from Kraken Support when I had the issue:

Hi Vincenzo,

I'm Andy from Kraken Client Engagement team. Sorry for the late response, our support team has been under heavy load lately.

Balance is not returned for the assets that were never used. Please deposit or buy a small amount of each asset that you want to get via API

Please, let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with. And have a good day!

Regards,

Andy

OK, thank you for your help!

@vinsom, thanks for sharing this plugin. Now, trading in cryptos would be much more fun

I'm having a few issues trying to connect to Kraken. My first attempt was to download the BCH/EUR historic data, but got this error:



As an initial test, I created the Kraken API allowing export data only. Plugged "API Key" as PublicKey and "Private Key" as it is on the Zorro.ini file. Additionally, these are my other setups:



On the Zorro 1.66 UI, filled the parameters as:
User: nothing
Account: Real / Kraken
Script: Download BCH/EUR

Placed Kraken.dll within /Plugins folder and remaining files inside a subfolder named /Plugins/kraken.

Your comments are much appreciated.

UPDATE: it's worth to mention I tried including assets in AssetsFix.csv and in a separate file as well, in which case I modify Account.csv file accordingly. Additionally, besides public and private API credentials, I plugged my user/password I use to log into Kraken's site in the Zorro's UI user parameter. None worked as expected

I bought and sold BCH, ETH and ETC via Kraken, so these currencies are 'used' already in my account. But I succeed only in trading BCH/EUR via Zorro, trying ETH/EUR or ETC/EUR results in:


These pairs are identically set in my Assets.csv


Any ideas?

Another question: is it sure to do currency trading via API although no leverage is set? From their docs setting a leverage distinguishes between buying a currency and currency pair trading.

Hi Sphin,
Sorry I made this plugin and tested it only for trading between Crypto.
Never tried with fiat currency.
So as usual do it at your own risk.

For the error you mention you can play with the MinOrderSize in the Zorro ini (see readme on github).
Not sure can fix this issue.


Leverage is always set to 1 (hardcoded) with this plugin.

Setting leverage to none should be okay first of all but access to other currency pairs would be helpful.
I only can take the minimum sizes Kraken has set but these are original your settings in the Zorro.ini section, I can't see any error there.
Do you think there is a difference if a fiat currency is used? I guess they are treated the same way as cryptos.
Maybe any other user has an idea, I fear my possibilities to debug are very limited at this point.

Hi Sphin,
Give me a bit of time.
Will try to debug it as soon as I have a couple of hours.

Cheers

No problem at all! Glad that someone does this great work anyway, take you time!

Hi Sphin,
Try this, add as I did below in the zorro ini at the end "EUR":10 and let me know if it works.
In this care I set 10 Euro as minimum order size.
Cheers

MinOrderSize={"error":[],"result":{"REP":0.3,"XBT":0.002,"DASH":0.03,"XDG":3000,"EOS":3,"ETH":0.02,"ETC":0.3,"GNO":0.03,"ICN":2,"LTC":0.1,"MLN":0.1,"XMR":0.1,"XRP":30,"XLM":300,"ZEC":0.03,"BCH":0.002,"EUR":10}}

It didn't change anything but I don't know if the problem is really related to EUR because as I stated already above: BCH/EUR works!
I get the type mismatch error only choosing any other pair like ETH/EUR or ETC/EUR.
