Vacek_aka_Luschka Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) I've been trying to execute 1 single trade on Kraken for AN HOUR !!! Error after Error .. then Cloudflare 502 bad gateway. In the meantime, I missed a .03c swing on XRP which I would have nailed up ... Kraken has been VERY VERY poor as of late. Anyone else finding this ? If I cannot execute trades smoothly in this game, whats the point ?

tulo Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Kraken suc*s...from all points of view. I don't know about security, but everything else is terrible. PRX, Vacek_aka_Luschka and qoiner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brozamsterdam Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yup, happened me too. Thinking of transferring my holding to another exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malloy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Same here...if Kraken reading this, fix your platform problem...every time there's volume, we can't put or cancel order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knull Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 yup, thought that after the recent changes things would've improved. SimpleLife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZZZ Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Same here. Tried 10 times to make a specific trade (sell for USD) and it didn't work. But... when I bought some ETH it worked immediately lol Edited September 8, 2017 by EggsArePee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLeeT Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yea, I plan on never trading there again, had the same problems today. I initially registered there as it was one of the very few reliable (security-wise) exchanges that accepts EUR. I can't really deposit USD as it will require a ton of verification documents that I need to spend a couple of days to collect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecentChange Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Had the same problem. I was able to overcome this by clearing the cache and restarting the browser. Edited September 8, 2017 by strikerjax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrenne Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I have never had any problems with kraken. But I am not a trader, I buy more occasionally and my orders have always been accepted within a couple of seconds. And limit orders have always been executed as soon as the limit price was reached.

There's no problem with execution, the problem is more often than it should...usually when there's a lot of volume...Kraken gives the error try again code...this is unacceptable.

I totally understand. I have seen the error a couple of times in the past, but could re-enter the order a couple of seconds later. Since I am not a trader, I don't care about the 0.001 more or less. So for me Kraken works out very well, whereas I had support and verification trouble at some other exchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the deal is with Kraken lately, but it seems to be getting worse. It's just so mega frustrating when you know you hit the sell button to buy back more later, the order tilts and gives an error, only for you to see the price go down even more Vacek_aka_Luschka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacek_aka_Luschka Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Since this Kraken Fiasco, I've been dabbling on Poloniex ... Slick as silk !!! I'm amazed at the difference. Not to get my month old verification resolved there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacek_aka_Luschka Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Krakens Reply .... (Anyone familiar with the "new trading engine" ... and is it in place today?) " Thank you for taking the time to send us this message. We certainly understand your frustrations with the platform. We are always looking to make improvements to our service and a new trading engine should be coming soon. In the meantime, try deleting your browser cache and waiting a few minutes before trying to resubmit your order. We recognize the trading engine issues, and we hope that the new trading engine will help solve the problems, though it is not a guarantee that it will always run perfectly. This is the risk of trading electronically, especially on an online platform. I will be forwarding your message to the Development team directly. We always appreciate input from our loyal customers and try to use their feedback to improve Kraken for everybody. " EDIT: Further response: " I don't have a hard and fast answer to when the new trading engine will be ready, but I know our CTO and Development team are working diligently towards a solution.
