What is Grid Trading?

Grid trading places buy and sell orders at regular price intervals (the "grid"). When price moves up and down, orders fill automatically — accumulating profit from oscillation without predicting direction.

Setup

1. Configure Kraken publisher credentials in Seren Desktop Settings → Publisher MCPs (desktop sidecar/keychain flow)
2. Copy .env.example to .env and set SEREN_API_KEY
3. Copy config.example.json to config.json and configure your grid parameters
4. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Run: python scripts/agent.py

SerenDB Persistence (MCP-native)

Set these optional environment variables in .env:

• SERENDB_PROJECT_NAME (default auto target: krakent)
• SERENDB_DATABASE (default auto target: krakent)
• SERENDB_BRANCH (optional)
• SERENDB_REGION (default: aws-us-east-1)
• SERENDB_AUTO_CREATE (default: true)
• SEREN_MCP_COMMAND (default: seren-mcp)

Persistence is best-effort: if SerenDB/MCP is unavailable, trading still runs and logs locally.

Configuration

See config.example.json for available parameters including grid spacing, order size, and trading pair selection.
