Kraken Alpha Agent

Kraken Alpha Agent is an autonomous trading agent built for the Kraken Trading Performance track. The project focuses on xStocks strategy selection, risk-controlled execution, and transparent PnL reporting. The agent ranks xStocks candidates, runs a reproducible hackathon-window backtest, applies strict guardrails, and exposes the result through a public Vercel dashboard. The core demo shows the full workflow: signal ranking, dry-run execution, risk checks, backtest performance, and judge auditability. During the audited 13-19 May 2026 hackathon window, the backtest shows +19.18 USD PnL across 10 trades, 80% win rate, and 0.06% max drawdown. A 30-day baseline shows +33.56 USD across 138 trades with 53% win rate. Important transparency note: live xStocks execution was blocked at the Kraken venue/account level for the Cyprus EU account used in the hackathon. The project therefore reports xStocks PnL from reproducible backtests, not from live xStocks fills. A short crypto diagnostic session produced live fills outside the xStocks track, proving the engine, API key, IP setup, and execution pipeline work end-to-end. The system defaults to dry-run mode and requires triple opt-in before any live order. It also enforces 1.0x leverage, no shorting, reduce-only exits for futures, and strict rejection handling for Kraken responses. The goal is simple: make autonomous trading agents measurable, risk-aware, and auditable enough for judge verification.
