Does golang-crypto-trading-bot work with Kraken?
The golang-crypto-trading-bot README names Kraken as a supported exchange (README scanned 2026-09-17). We did not run the bot against Kraken: this page reports what the public code says and what the exchange itself publishes.

What the audit says about running it live
Audit scheduled
When the golang-crypto-trading-bot audit is finished, this section will show the verdicts for API key permissions, orphaned stops, reconnection, order rejection handling and position reconciliation: the five controls that matter most once a live key is connected.
Before you connect a key
- Create the API key with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled, and restrict it to your server's IP if Kraken allows it.
- Start in paper or dry-run mode if the bot has one (the README mentions it).
- Decide the maximum loss per day before the first order and check the bot can enforce it: see the circuit breaker control. If it cannot, the watchdog enforces it from outside with a read-only key.
