The Kraken trading journal
Connect Kraken with a read-only API key or upload your ledger export, and Viktury imports your spot trades, deposits, withdrawals and Earn rewards, matches the trades into round trips, and turns them into R-multiple analytics, playbook stats and mistake costs.
- Automatic read-only sync
- CSV import
What Viktury imports from Kraken
- Spot trades
- Crypto and bank deposits and withdrawals
- Staking and Earn rewards, as income
- Moves between your Spot, Earn and Futures wallets
Kraken connects in one of two ways: a read-only API key that you create under Spot trading API on kraken.com, or the ledger file you export from the Statements page on Kraken. Either way Viktury reads your ledger: spot trades, deposits, withdrawals and Earn rewards. With a key, the first sync reads your whole history, and after that the account syncs once a day. Kraken Futures trades are not imported yet, and margin trades are not supported.
How it works
From Kraken to your stats
- 01
Connect with a read-only key or a file
Create a Spot API key on Kraken with three permissions: Query Funds, Query Closed Orders & Trades and Query Ledger Entries. Paste the API Key and the Private Key into Viktury, which checks all three before it saves anything. The key cannot trade and cannot withdraw. Rather not make a key? Export Ledger as CSV from the Statements page on Kraken and upload the file instead.

Your ledger becomes round trips
Viktury reads your Kraken ledger, matches each spot buy to the sell that closes it, and keeps Earn rewards as income rather than as trades. Your holdings come from the same ledger.
- 03
Your edge, quantified
Win rate by setup, mistake costs and time-of-day performance from the trades you import, and R-multiples on every trade you give a stop.
Questions
Before you connect
How does Viktury import my Kraken trades?
Via automatic API sync and CSV import. API sync runs daily and can be triggered manually any time.
Does Viktury need trading or withdrawal permissions?
No. Viktury only ever needs read access to your trade history. Read-only API keys cannot place orders or move funds.
What data does Viktury read from Kraken?
Trade executions (instrument, side, size, price, fees, timestamps), enough to rebuild your round-trip trades. Viktury never reads balances it does not need, and never shares your data.
Is Viktury free to try?
Yes. The free plan stays free, and your first trades start 14 days of Edge with the full analytics. No card needed.
Does Viktury import my Kraken Futures or margin trades?
Not today. Futures trades are coming in a later update. Margin trades are not supported: if your history has any, the account card says how many rows were left out rather than guessing at them. Moves between your Spot and Futures wallets do import, so your Spot balances stay complete.
Which permissions does my Kraken API key need?
Three: Query Funds, Query Closed Orders & Trades and Query Ledger Entries. Leave everything else off, including Deposit, Withdraw and every order permission, and leave the query start and end dates off so the key can see your whole history. When you add the key, Viktury checks all three and tells you which one is missing.
Does Viktury import my Kraken staking and Earn rewards?
Yes. Staking and Earn rewards arrive as income, not as trades, so they add to your holdings without counting as a win or a loss. Moving coins into or out of Earn is not a trade either: the coins are still yours and stay in your holdings.
Can I import Kraken without an API key?
Yes. On the Statements page on Kraken, export Ledger as CSV with the date range starting from your first month on Kraken, and upload the CSV file it gives you. A file does not update itself, so export it again later to bring the account up to date. A trade between two coins, such as ETH for BTC, needs a key to be named, so a file import leaves it out and says how many.
How often does my Kraken account sync?
Once a day. The first sync reads your whole history, which can take a while on a long account, and each daily sync after that picks up what is new.
Your Kraken trades, Earn rewards included.
Add a key that can only read, and your spot history syncs once a day.
