Invalid API Key

This error occurs when the API key or secret is incorrect. Double-check that you copied the full key from Kraken without any leading or trailing spaces. API keys are case-sensitive.

Insufficient Permissions

QuantumEdge requires query and trade permissions. If your key is missing these, the connection test will fail. Generate a new key on Kraken with the correct permissions and update it in QuantumEdge.

Key Has Withdrawal Permissions

QuantumEdge rejects API keys that include withdrawal permissions as a security measure. Generate a new key on Kraken without withdrawal permissions enabled.

Rate Limiting

Kraken enforces API rate limits. If you see rate-limit errors, reduce the number of concurrent strategies or increase the interval between trades. QuantumEdge automatically handles rate limiting and will retry with exponential backoff.
