+``kraken`` backend
+------------------
+though they don't have the most liquidity of all the cexes they sure are
+accommodating to those of us who appreciate a little ``xmr``.
+
+status
+******
+current support is *production grade* and both real-time data and order
+management should be correct and fast. this backend is used by core devs
+for live trading.
+
+
+config
+******
+In order to get order mode support your ``brokers.toml``
+needs to have something like the following:
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+   [kraken]
+   accounts.spot = 'spot'
+   key_descr = "spot"
+   api_key = "69696969696969696696969696969696969696969696969696969696"
+   secret = "BOOBSBOOBSBOOBSBOOBSBOOBSSMBZ69696969696969669969696969696"
+
+
+If everything works correctly you should see any current positions
+loaded in the pps pane on chart load and you should also be able to
+check your trade records in the file::
+
+    <pikerk_conf_dir>/ledgers/trades_kraken_spot.toml
+
+
+An example ledger file will have entries written verbatim from the
+trade events schema:
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+    [TFJBKK-SMBZS-VJ4UWS]
+    ordertxid = "SMBZSA-7CNQU-3HWLNJ"
+    postxid = "SMBZSE-M7IF5-CFI7LT"

+    vol = "4.80907954"
+    margin = "0.00000000"
+    misc = ""
+
+
+your ``pps.toml`` file will have position entries like,
+
+.. code:: toml
+
+   [kraken.spot."xmreur.kraken"]
+   size = 4.80907954
+   ppu = 103.97000000
