Introducing Kraken’s desktop charts
Put, drag and edit orders – directly on the diagram – for maximum trading efficiency.
When seconds can mean the difference between profit and loss, you need a trading platform that makes more than just executing orders.
Kraken Desktop (available on Windows, Mac and Linux) responds to that. This elegant, adaptive application brings the possibility of the 1200+ market on your desktop computer. Among its new, distinctive features is the chart of diagram, a change of game for anyone who wants full control over their deals without juggling multiple Windows or clumsy interfaces.
Why Diagram Trade matters
Diagram trade is not only convenience – this is a tactical advantage. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Real -time visualization: Check out your orders, drawn exactly with live pricing movements, helping you quickly notice the opportunities and bring your strategy with market trends.
- Speed and efficiency: Place or adjust the orders directly into the diagram with one click. No need to switch between sections, so you can react faster to variable markets.
- Simplification: Management of complex strategies such as bracket orders (combining stop loss and profit) in an intuitive trade.
- Precise trade: Set accurate price levels on the market, limit, stop the loss, take orders for profit or brackets – and just drag them to adjust.
For professional traders, these opportunities are becoming faster solutions, a tighter implementation and a clearer market view-everything is essential in the rapid world of crypto.
How to use a Kraken desktop trade graph
To place an order, click the ➕ button (the axis of the diagram) of the price you want. Then choose from:
- Market orders: Fulfill immediately at the current market price only available on the price line
- Limited orders: Set your specific price for purchases or sale
- Stop loss: Protect yourself by triggering sales if the price moves to a specified level
- Get a profit: Lock the profits at the target price of your performance
- Stop on follow: Use a dynamic braking order that moves in tandem with price action
- Bracket orders: Combine entry with both stop loss (SL) and profit orders (TP). We set the terms of quantity and activation, you just drag and let go.
