1 of 15 steps • 7% complete
Step 2 of 15
Enter the 2FA code
If your account has two-step verification turned on, enter the code from your authenticator app and click Inserir (Enter).
Step 3 of 15
Open Profile > Configurações (Settings)
On the home screen, click the profile icon in the top-right corner, then click Configurações (Settings).
Step 4 of 15
Unlock the global platform
Under Configurações → Conta (Settings → Account), scroll to Definições regionais (Regional settings) and click Editar (Edit) next to Idioma (Language). Kraken displays the Alterações no seu acesso (Changes to your access) notice: xStocks are available only on the global platform, which isn't offered in Portuguese.
Check Entendo que esses produtos são oferecidos fora do Brasil (I understand that these products are offered outside Brazil) and click Acessar plataforma global (Access global platform).
Why unlock xStocks
xStocks aren't required, but we recommend them. RedMind can only tell whether your account can trade tokenized stocks at the moment it sends an order. Without xStocks, a tokenized stock order (placed by you or recommended by the AI) fails at execution.
Step 5 of 15
Change the language to English (US)
In the Idioma (Language) field, choose English (US) and click Atualizar configurações (Update settings).
Warning
Don't switch the language back to Portuguese. In Portuguese, your account goes back to the Brazilian platform, which has no xStocks.
Step 6 of 15
Check that xStocks is unlocked
On the Account tab, under Eligibility, check that xStocks shows Unlocked. If it doesn't, click the button next to it and follow Kraken's instructions.
Kraken is now in English
From here on, the screens and button names are in English. This tutorial shows each name exactly as it appears on the screen.
Step 7 of 15
Open Connections & API and click Create API key
Open the Connections & API tab. Under Spot trading API, click Create API key.
Step 8 of 15
Name the key
The Add API key window opens. In the Name field, enter an easy-to-remember name, for example RedMind.
Step 9 of 15
Select the permissions
Under Permissions, check:
Query (under Funds permissions)
Query open orders & trades
Query closed orders & trades
Create & modify orders
Cancel & close orders
Query ledger entries
Export data
Golden rule: never grant Withdraw permission
Never check Withdraw. Also leave Deposit, Add withdrawal addresses, Earn, and Query affiliate participants unchecked. RedMind trades for you, but it never withdraws.
Step 10 of 15
Leave the IP restriction off
Leave IP address restriction turned off, because RedMind uses several IPs.
Step 11 of 15
Click Generate key
Leave the other options turned off: WebSocket interface, Key expiration, Query start date and Query end date, and Custom nonce window.
Scroll to the bottom and click Generate key.
Step 12 of 15
Confirm with your authentication code
Kraken asks for your authentication code one more time (Enter your authentication code). Enter the code in the Authentication code field and click Enter.
Step 13 of 15
Copy the API key and the Private key
Kraken shows API key created. Click the copy button next to the API key and next to the Private key, and store both somewhere safe.
Warning
After you click Close, Kraken won't show the Private key again. If you lose it, you'll have to create a new key.
Step 14 of 15
Check the key in the list
Your new RedMind key now appears in the Spot trading API list.
Step 15 of 15
Paste the keys into RedMind
In RedMind, open Exchange → Integração de Exchange (Exchange Integration) and select Kraken from the Exchange dropdown. Paste the Kraken API key into the API key field and the Private key into the API secret field.
Click the red Salvar, testar e sincronizar (Save, test and sync) button.
Warning
Never send your keys by email, WhatsApp, or any other messaging app.
