How to find my Kraken futures trade history?

Understanding Kraken Futures Trade History

Kraken futures trade history refers to a detailed log of all your executed futures contracts on the Kraken platform. This includes entries such as entry price, exit price, leverage used, fees, and timestamps. If you're reviewing past trades for tax reporting, strategy refinement, or personal record-keeping, knowing how to access this data accurately is essential. Kraken provides multiple ways to retrieve this information, ensuring users can export or view trade history based on their needs.

Accessing Trade History via the Kraken Web Dashboard

To find your futures trade history directly on the Kraken website:

• Log in to your Kraken account at [https://www.kraken.com](https://www.kraken.com)
• Navigate to the Futures tab located in the top navigation bar
• Click on Account or Trade History within the Futures section
• Select the time range using the date filters (e.g., last 7 days, last 30 days, or custom)
• Ensure the 'Futures' toggle is active — this filters out spot trades
• Each row will show contract type, entry/exit time, P&L, fees, and more

  This method is ideal for users who want a quick visual summary without downloading files.

  Exporting Futures Trade History as a CSV File

  For users who need structured data for spreadsheets or accounting tools:
• Go to the Kraken Futures dashboard
• Click on the Export button, usually located near the top-right of the trade history table
• Choose Futures Trades from the export options (do not select 'Spot Trades')
• Select your preferred date range — this must align with your reporting period
• Click Generate Report
• Wait for the email notification — Kraken processes exports asynchronously for security
• Download the CSV attachment from your registered email

  The CSV will include columns like txid, time, pair, side, price, fee, and margin. This format is compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and crypto tax software like Koinly or CoinTracker.

  Using Kraken’s API to Retrieve Futures Trade History

  Advanced users or developers can fetch futures trade history programmatically:
• Enable API access in your Kraken account under Security > API
• Create a new API key with the 'Futures' permission enabled — this is critical
• Use the endpoint: POST https://futures.kraken.com/derivatives/api/v3/fills
• Include your API key and signature in the request headers
• Optionally add parameters like lastFillTime or symbol to filter results

  Example curl command:

  curl -H 'API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \   -H 'API-Sign: YOUR_SIGNED_PAYLOAD' \   -X POST 'https://futures.kraken.com/derivatives/api/v3/fills?symbol=PI_XBTUSD'

  This method is best for automated workflows or integrating Kraken data into custom dashboards.

  Checking Mobile App for Futures Trade History

  Kraken’s mobile app (iOS and Android) also supports viewing futures trade history:
• Open the Kraken app and log in
• Tap the Trade tab at the bottom
• Select Futures from the trading mode options
• Tap Account or the three-dot menu to reveal the history section
• Scroll through the list to see recent futures trades
• Tap any entry to view full details including fees, liquidation price, and order type

  Note: The app does not support CSV export — use the web dashboard for that function.

  Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  Some users report missing trades or incorrect data:
• Confirm you’re in the Futures section — spot trades appear in a separate tab
• Check your timezone setting in Kraken account preferences — timestamps are displayed in UTC by default
• If using API, verify your key has futures permissions — missing permissions return empty responses
• If CSV export fails, wait 10–15 minutes and retry — high server load can delay report generation

  Always double-check the pair and side (buy/sell) values in your data to avoid misclassification in tax tools.

  Frequently Asked Questions

  Q: Why don’t I see any trades in my futures history even though I traded?A: Ensure you’re not in the Spot tab. Also, check if your trades were on Kraken Futures (e.g., PI_XBTUSD) versus spot pairs like XBT/USD. The two are tracked separately.

  Q: Can I filter by specific futures pairs like ETHUSD or SOLUSD?A: Yes. On the web dashboard, use the pair filter dropdown above the trade table. In the API, pass the symbol parameter like symbol=PF_SOLUSD.

  Q: Is futures trade history available for subaccounts?A: No. Kraken currently does not support futures trading on subaccounts. All futures trades must be under the main account, so check there.

  Q: How long does Kraken keep futures trade history?A: Kraken retains trade history indefinitely. However, CSV exports are limited to 1 year per request. For older data, break your date range into multiple exports.
