Notes

tip

Please consider switching to Kraken Spot/Futures FIX Trade Connector.

The Kraken FIX API is a FIX 4.4 implementation for institutional and HFT clients. It provides the lowest-latency order entry path, deterministic message sequencing, cancel-on-disconnect, and session-based message replay.

Cancel/Replace

Kraken Futures API does not accept the total order quantity in a replace. The desired open (remaining) quantity must be provided instead. Note: This does not prevent overfills in trade-in-route scenarios.

API Testing Environment

Kraken Futures Demo Env is available via: https://demo-futures.kraken.com/

Original Timestamp

The following Json properties are used as source for original timestamps in order events:

• WS order event: last_update_time
• WS fill event: time
• Sync open orders response: lastUpdateTime
• New order response: lastUpdateTime
