Futures Trading

  • The Kraken API returns 500 - INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR for some endpoints if order_id or orderId, cliOrdId seems to work in all cases.

  • Kraken’s API doesn’t seem to know the trailing_stop order type and raises an error if this type is part of an order. This order type is documented here https://docs.futures.kraken.com/#http-api-trading-v3-api-order-management-send-order
