Guided step-by-step flows for setup and operations.

Prerequisites

  • Connected Kraken account

Steps

01Navigate to exchange settings

Go to Settings > Exchanges. Your connected Kraken account displays its current connection status (Connected, Disconnected, Error, etc.).

02Run a connection test

Click the status indicator or 'Test Connection' button. QuantumEdge validates that your API key is active, permissions are correct, and the exchange is reachable.

03Review connection health

A successful test confirms trade permissions are valid. If the test fails, the error message indicates the issue — expired key, missing permissions, or exchange-side restrictions.

04Resolve common errors

For 'Invalid API Key' errors, verify the key is still active on Kraken. For permission errors, confirm trade-only scopes are enabled. If issues persist, generate a new API key on Kraken and reconnect.
