SwingTrades
Runs on your Mac · ETH / GBP on Kraken

You set the swing. Your Mac places the orders.

SwingTrades is Mac software that places the limit orders you describe on your own Kraken account, and keeps a UK tax-year record of what filled.

Three things stay yours the whole time

Your computer

The software, its data and its logs live on your Mac. It restarts by itself after a reboot.

Your Kraken key

A key you create, with no withdrawal permission. Nobody else ever sees it, including us.

Your numbers

Buy price, swing size, amount, loop or one-off. Nothing is pre-filled and nothing is chosen for you.

What's in the app

  • Practice modeRun your settings against simulated balances. No orders are sent to Kraken.
  • UK tax-year reportEvery fill recorded by tax year, with HMRC's matching rules applied, ready for your return.
  • Telegram messagesKnow when an order fills or something needs you, without opening your Mac.
  • Balance checkCompares Kraken's balance with SwingTrades' records and flags any gap.

Cryptoassets are high risk

The price of ETH can fall sharply and you could lose all the money you put in. Cryptoassets are largely unregulated in the UK, and you're unlikely to be protected by the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. SwingTrades doesn't give advice and doesn't promise any return.
