Kraken launches configurable Smart Grid tool on Kraken Desktop

Kraken announced Smart Grid on September 9, 2026, introducing an automated range-bound trading tool for eligible Kraken Pro users on Kraken Desktop.

The tool allows users to set the asset, investment size, price limits, number of grid levels and grid width. It is designed for users seeking to configure a grid-based approach within defined price parameters.

Smart Grid also includes historical backtesting and live performance tracking, giving users tools to assess configurations before deployment and monitor running grids.

Kraken said users can amend a running grid without restarting it. Margin controls and a base stop-loss setting are also included, although availability and behavior may differ by account type and region.

Configurable grid settings

Smart Grid provides controls over the core parameters of a grid strategy, including the selected asset, capital allocation, price limits, level count and grid width.

The range-bound focus means the tool is intended for strategies operating within user-defined price limits. Kraken’s announcement does not establish how any particular configuration will perform under changing market conditions.

• Asset selection
• Investment size
• Price limits
• Number of grid levels and grid width

Backtesting and live grid management

Kraken said Smart Grid supports historical backtesting, allowing users to review a configuration against past market data. The platform also provides live performance tracking after a grid is running.

Users can make amendments to active grids without restarting them, according to Kraken. That capability may help users adjust supported settings while continuing to manage an existing strategy.

The launch expands Kraken Desktop’s trading-tool lineup following its addition of native fair value gap detection.

• Historical backtesting
• Live performance tracking
• Amendments to running grids without a restart

Margin and stop-loss availability

Smart Grid includes the ability to toggle margin and set a base stop loss. Kraken noted that margin availability and stop-loss behavior can vary by account type and region.

Users should review the functionality available to their account before relying on margin or stop-loss settings. Automated trading tools can carry risk, and historical backtesting does not determine future results.

Smart Grid is available on Kraken Desktop to eligible Kraken Pro users. Kraken has also added TWAP orders across its web, desktop and mobile Pro platforms.

• Margin controls may vary by account type and region
• Stop-loss behavior may vary by account type and region
