01 — The playbook
Two bots. Two venues. Both live.
Per-coin grid configs tuned from walk-forward analysis on 3 years of history — not intuition. Limits sit on the exchange and fill on touch; no missed moves between bot polls.
Crypto · Grid
KRAKEN
Kraken Grid
Resting buy limits laddered every 3% below market on DOT, LINK, AAVE, and SHIB — paired sells fire at the matching +3%. Five rungs per coin, sized from the account's live balance (never below Kraken's ~$5 minimum order). AAVE and SHIB quoted in USD (lower fees than USDT pairs); DOT and LINK in USDT.
Crypto · Grid
ALPACA
Alpaca Multi-Coin Grid
Ten coins (SHIB, AAVE, GRT, CRV, SUSHI, DOGE, DOT, LINK, UNI, XRP) running per-coin tuned grid configs picked by walk-forward analysis. $40–$75 per coin, scaled to the account balance, 10 buy rungs each — 100 resting limits on the exchange at any time.

Real money. Real fills. No human in the loop.
Autonomous bots trading around the clock. If they win, you see it. If they lose, you see that too. That's the point.
Live · the receipts
The actual numbers. Losses included.
Computed from broker balances and the trade log on a timer — nobody curates this table.
02 — Risk framework
Built-in protection at every layer.
Grid trading doesn't need predictions — it needs discipline. These controls are structural, not optional.
Hard Per-Coin Capital Caps
Every coin gets its own capital allocation, scaled to the account balance. A falling market can deepen a position only to its cap — never past it, never borrowing from another coin's budget.
Resting Limits, Not Market Orders
Every entry and exit is a pre-priced limit order sitting on the exchange. No chasing, no slippage surprises, no decisions made in the heat of a move.
Position Reconciliation on Startup
Both bots run a broker-reconcile pass at startup. A position on the exchange that isn't in local state — crash, restart, wiped file — gets adopted instead of orphaned.
Stale-Inventory Repricing
Bags that sit too long get repriced on a schedule — the Kraken bot reprices unfilled recovery exits after 24h, the Alpaca bot ages out stale inventory — instead of holding forever and hoping.
Real-Time Alerts
Every fill — entry, exit, reprice — is recorded and pushed to a phone. Halts, breaker trips and errors page immediately. Nothing happens silently.
Independent Watchdog
A separate watchdog checks both bots' heartbeats and pages a phone the moment one goes stale; a crashed bot is restarted automatically. The system doesn't depend on a human noticing.
Per-Coin Drawdown Cut (Alpaca)
If one coin's position falls 25% below its cost, the bot sells it instead of waiting for a recovery. At most one cut, or $15, per coin per day.
Daily Loss Stop (Kraken)
A separate process checks account equity every 5 minutes. A $20 drop in one day halts new buys; exits keep working.
03 — The loop
From ladder to fill — fully automated.
STEP 01 · LADDER
Place the Grid
Resting buy limits go on the exchange below market, spaced by each coin's walk-forward-tuned step. They sit there and wait.
STEP 02 · FILL
Fill on Touch
Price dips into a rung, the exchange fills it instantly — no polling delay. Checked against our own order ledger: 1,259 of 1,262 touched Alpaca orders filled.
STEP 03 · EXIT
Paired Exit
Every fill immediately gets a matching sell limit one grid-step above its entry. The round trip is priced before the position exists.
STEP 04 · REPORT
Alert + Reconcile
Every fill alerts in real time, and a daily summary covers trades, P&L, and open inventory. Startup reconciliation keeps state honest.

Ongoing improvements to execution, risk, and reliability — dated, in public.
Oct 2026
Kraken Daily Loss Stop + Recovery-Sell Fix
A separate process now checks Kraken equity every 5 minutes and halts new buys after a $20 drop in a UTC day; exits keep running. Separately, a re-anchor could cancel a pending recovery sell and leave coins unmanaged; re-anchoring now keeps that sell in place.
Oct 2026
Alpaca Budgets Scale With the Account
Per-coin budgets and loss caps now follow account equity instead of fixed dollar amounts, the way the Kraken bot already sized its ladders. Flat ladders that drift far from target are cancelled and rebuilt, with broker checks before and after.
Oct 2026
Fill Assumption Checked Against Real Orders
A per-order ledger for both venues tested the backtests' "touch means fill" rule: 1,259 of 1,262 touched Alpaca limit orders filled. The rule holds, so the simulators stay as they are.
Sep 2026
Alpaca Per-Coin Drawdown Cut Armed
Four coins had ridden to −68–75% before the old bag rule cut them. After three months in shadow mode, a −25% per-coin cut went live (one cut or $15 per coin per day).
Jun 2026
AAVE Added to Kraken Grid
Walk-forward backtest across 8 candidate coins ranked AAVE #1 by yield per dollar deployed. Added to the Kraken grid alongside DOT and LINK. AAVE quotes in USD on Kraken (no AAVE/USDT pair), so a USD wallet was funded — lower fees than the stablecoin pairs as a bonus.
May 2026
Alpaca Grid Bot Live
Replaced an earlier scalper strategy with a per-coin tuned grid after a 25-coin / 3-year backtest sweep. Ten coins, ten buy rungs each, $40 capital per coin at launch — 100 resting limits on the exchange around the clock. Each coin's grid step came from walk-forward mode analysis, not intuition.
May 2026
Kraken Grid Step Widened to 3%
Parameter sweep showed the prior 1% grid was below breakeven on the live spread + fees; 3% came out ahead after fees across the tested window (an in-sample backtest, not a forecast). Five rungs per coin retained (Kraken's ~$5 minimum order size caps the practical rung count). Per-coin capital floored at $55 at the time — since June, budgets are sized from the live balance instead.
May 2026
Position Reconciliation on Startup
Both live bots now run a broker-reconcile pass at startup. If a position exists on the exchange but isn't in local state — from a crash, a restart, or a wiped state file — the bot adopts it instead of leaving it unmanaged. No more silent orphan positions.
