Re: How to have a short position on Kraken Ethereum

Hello all,

I was just wondering how and if it was possible to short Ethereum on Kraken even if I am not planning to do that Grin

.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, but it's much easier to short on Poloniex. It took me hours to figure out Kraken's margin trading interface and it would probably take me another hour to read up on how to do it if I had to again.

ahah it took me hours also to get use to Kraken even if I didn't really understand their margin trading interface for the moment....
Since I do not want to trade on several platform, this is why I was wondering on how to do it on kraken, any help would be much appreciated!!!

Have a read through the help pages:
https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/204585978-Order-Position-vs-Trade-Position

You basically close the position out by buying an equal amount of Ether with leverage > 1.

Thank for your help. But this does not help me to understand how to short Undecided

While having a look on the forum, I found out that some month ago it was not available because of the amount of volume that would not be enough to short for Kraken. Maybe this still the case nowadays?
