Scan
Builds a fresh watchlist from the top-volume Kraken USD pairs every cycle. Skips stablecoins, low-volume pairs, and thinly traded coins.
Adaptive Kraken spot automation
Momentum-Trader reads the market regime, picks the right mode, and acts only when the setup is clean. Four adaptive profiles. Dynamic position sizing. Runs locally on your machine.
Momentum-Trader is trading software, not financial advice. Live Mode places real Kraken orders and involves risk of loss.
How it works
The bot does not predict markets. It scores what is happening right now, checks the regime, and acts only when conditions align.
Builds a fresh watchlist from the top-volume Kraken USD pairs every cycle. Skips stablecoins, low-volume pairs, and thinly traded coins.
Scores each coin across trend strength, 1h/3h/12h momentum, RSI quality, and volume. Max score ~110 points.
Reads the BTC regime, market breadth, and basket momentum. Selects the correct profile — Shield, Scout, Momentum, or Surge.
Opens a position when the profile's filters pass. Single signal = 100% of the slot. Two signals = score-weighted split (30–70%).
Closes through hard stop, trailing stop, take profit, momentum fade, timeout, or rotation into a stronger opportunity.
Adaptive profiles
Most bots use the same settings in all market conditions. Momentum-Trader switches automatically between four profiles based on what BTC and the broader basket are actually doing.
No new entries. Capital protected. Existing positions managed with tighter exits. Activates immediately on the next scan.
Default operating mode. Conservative quality bar. Takes only the clearest setups with the strongest momentum.
BTC and breadth both confirm uptrend. Slightly higher quality bar than Scout, wider take profit target.
High bar — only true market leaders qualify. Widest take profit target. Requires sustained confirmation before activating, so it does not fire on a single-candle spike.
Historical testing
These are simulated historical backtests using Kraken spot market data and estimated fees. They are included so users can inspect how the strategy behaved in specific past windows. Backtests are not live trading results and do not guarantee future performance.
30-day window
90-day window
180-day window
Historical simulations use past Kraken spot data and estimated fees. They are not live trading results, do not predict future performance, and should not be treated as expected returns. Crypto trading involves substantial risk of loss.

Why it is different
Most bot platforms try to cover every exchange, strategy, and signal marketplace. Momentum-Trader is intentionally narrow: Kraken spot, a tuned momentum strategy, four adaptive profiles, and a dashboard focused on exactly what matters while the bot is running.

Questions
No. Crypto trading involves real risk of loss. Backtest numbers are historical simulations from specific data windows and do not predict future results.
Kraken spot USD pairs only. Other exchanges may be added in future versions after testing.
No. You should never enable withdrawal permissions on the API key used with Momentum-Trader. The bot only needs Query Funds, Modify Orders, and Cancel/Close Orders.
Yes. Paper Mode simulates trades at real prices without placing real orders. You should always use paper mode first.
The bot automatically selects one of four profiles — Shield, Scout, Momentum, or Surge — based on BTC trend, market breadth, and basket momentum. You never configure this manually.
When one coin qualifies, 100% of the available slot budget is deployed into it. When two qualify simultaneously, the budget is split proportionally by score, bounded between 30% and 70%.
Drawdown varies by market window. The backtest section includes simulated max drawdown alongside returns and trade counts because risk matters as much as return. Live drawdown can be higher than any backtest.
A maximum of two simultaneous positions on Kraken spot USD pairs.
Momentum-Trader is software, not financial advice. Crypto trading involves substantial risk of loss. Live Mode places real market orders through your Kraken account. Historical backtests are simulations and do not predict future performance. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose. Monitor the bot regularly.
