Kraken Spot and Futures Expert Settings for MT5

The image below shows the configuration panel for the Kraken Spot and Futures Expert in MT5:

• Candle count to download (min=300, max=10000): The number of candles fetched from Kraken must be between 300 and 10000
• One Symbol, Different Charts, Equal Candle Count: When enabled, all open charts of a single symbol display the same number of candles

Note:
When the "One Symbol, Different Charts, Equal Candle Count" option is enabled, creating multiple charts of the same trading symbol (e.g., XRP/USDT) will result in an equal number of candles displayed on each chart, regardless of their individual timeframes. In this case, each chart independently receives data from the server.
It’s also worth noting that with each additional chart, a “+” symbol is added next to the chart’s name (e.g., +XRP, ++XRP).

If this option is disabled, charts with higher timeframes will generate their data based on lower timeframe charts.

Conclusion

The Kraken Spot and Futures Kit for MT5 is a practical trading tool designed to provide real time cryptocurrency chart access within the MT5 platform.

This service does not facilitate trading, but retrieves live pricing data through the official Kraken API and display it in analytical chart format for traders.
