Kraken MT5 Spot and Futures Expert Specification

The table below outlines the technical specifications of Kraken Spot and Futures Expert for MT5.

Kraken MT5 Spot and Futures Services Overview

Expert uses the HTTP protocol to connect to Kraken's servers and display real-time data from the spot and futures markets.

This connection is established through the WebRequest function in the MT5 environment, which must be enabled manually by the user.

How to enable WebRequest in MT5

Please follow these steps to enable WebRequest:

1. Open MT5, enter the "Tools" menu and select "Options"
2. Navigate to the Expert Advisors tab
3. Enable the checkbox "Allow WebRequests to listed URLs"
4. Enter the following API address:

• Spot API: https://api.kraken.com
• Futures API: https://futures.kraken.com

Added Kraken spot and futures symbols

To view spot and futures charts, you must first add the desired symbol to the market quotes list. Please follow these steps:

1. Activate Expert on MT5
2. Press Ctrl + U to open the symbol window
3. Navigate to the "Customize" tab and go to the folder (Kraken/F&S). Double click on the symbol you want to enable it
4. In Market Watch, right-click on a symbol and select "Chart Window" to display its chart

Note:

• Spot market codes are identified with the suffix (S.KK)
• Futures market codes are marked with the suffix (F.KK)
• All trading symbol data can be monitored under the "Experts" tab of MT5

Kraken Spot and Futures Expert Setup for MT5

The following figure shows the configuration panel of Kraken spot and futures Expert in MT5:

• Number of candles to download (minimum = 300, maximum = 10000): The number of candles obtained from Kraken must be between 300 and 10000
• One symbol, different charts, same number of candles: When enabled, all open charts of a single symbol show the same number of candles

Note:
When the "One symbol, different charts, same number of candles" option is enabled, creating multiple charts for the same trading symbol (e.g. XRP/USDT) will result in the same number of candles being displayed on each chart, regardless of their respective timeframes. In this case, each chart receives data from the server independently.
It is also worth noting that each time a chart is added, a "+" symbol will be added next to the chart name (example: +XRP, ++XRP).

If this option is disabled, charts with higher time ranges will generate data based on charts with lower time ranges.

Conclusion

The Kraken Spot and Futures Suite for MT5 is a practical trading tool designed to provide real-time cryptocurrency chart access within the MT5 platform.

The service does not facilitate trading, but rather retrieves real-time pricing data through the official Kraken API and displays it to traders in an analytical chart format.
