Automate your Kraken account with AI.
JorgAI is an AI auto-trading platform that connects to your Kraken account through an API key you create with trading permissions and no withdrawal permission. You set the rules, and the AI scans crypto pairs around the clock and places spot trades inside your own Kraken account. Stops, trailing stops and profit targets are managed by JorgAI on its servers, and the money never leaves Kraken.

How JorgAI connects to Kraken
- 1Sign in at kraken.com and open Settings, then API. Kraken requires two-factor authentication on the account.
- 2Create a new API key and give it these permissions: Query Funds, Query Open Orders & Trades, Query Closed Orders & Trades, Create & Modify Orders, Cancel/Close Orders, and Query Ledger Entries.
- 3Leave Withdraw Funds off. JorgAI never asks for it, and a key without it cannot move money anywhere.
- 4No IP allow-list is needed. If you set one anyway, Kraken's optional nonce window setting of a few seconds keeps a key shared between JorgAI's servers from tripping over itself.
- 5In JorgAI, go to Settings, then Broker, pick the Kraken tile, paste the API key and the private key, and click Connect. JorgAI checks the key with a balance read before saving it.
New to Kraken? Open an account at kraken.comexternal
Your keys are encrypted before they are stored, never logged, and never returned by any JorgAI screen or API. Because the key has no withdrawal permission, JorgAI cannot move funds out of your account. You can delete the key at kraken.com at any time, and JorgAI will tell you if the key stops working.

What to know before you connect.
Dollar-sized buys land on the exact amount
Kraken lets JorgAI place a market buy in dollars, so a $25 buy spends $25 and the coin amount is whatever that buys. Kraken takes its buy fee from your USD balance rather than from the coin, which means everything you bought is there to sell later.
Minimum order sizes per pair
Every Kraken pair has a minimum order (about $5 worth for the major coins, more for some small ones). JorgAI reads the minimum for each pair and will not send an order below it; a per-trade cap set under the minimum simply skips that pair.
Stops live on JorgAI's servers
Kraken accepts stop orders, but JorgAI keeps every exit on its own monitors so your stop, trailing stop and profit target behave the same on every broker. A protective exit that misses as a limit order is re-sent at market so a falling price cannot leave the position open.
Crypto only, and the profile knows it
This connection trades spot crypto pairs. When you connect it, the profile's asset classes switch to Crypto Only and the stock scans do not run on it. Keep a stock broker on another profile if you trade both.
One key, one profile
JorgAI identifies a Kraken connection by its key, so each JorgAI profile needs its own key. If you create a new key, connect it as a fresh account; the old connection's history stays with the old key.
You keep every control
Auto-trading is off until you switch it on. Stop-loss, daily loss brake, position sizing, total exposure limits and aggressiveness are all yours to set and change, and you can pause in one click.
