I've trying to buy/sell some coins during these last two weeks but the orders never make it. Is it always like this?

I get into Kraken by recommendation of some people but I'm a little bit dissapointed (not too angry becasue my bitcoins that I can't trade are going up  Grin ).

It is more or less always like this. We presented and will continue to present error logs of our auto system, just scroll through the pages, and you will see that placement error rates are generally abysmal.

+1

On 97 orders to be placed:
118 Eservice unavailables
1 Eservice: Busy
Total calls 97 + 118 + 1 = 216

Eservice unavailables: 118 /216*100%= 54.63%
Eservice Busy: 1 /216*100%= 0.46%
Unknowns: 89/216= 41.20% of total calls (unknowns need to be checked whether placed or not in open orders, therefore counted as error in API responses)

Total error rate = (118 + 1 + 89)/216*100% = 96.30%
Service non-existing....

And dont get hopes for any changes soon. We have been told too many times that Kraken's dev are working hard on a solution that we think that they are rather "hardly working" on a solution. Until now, things only got worse. Worst of all that no warnings are given to customers except weird little status pages which give Kraken's own rather too positive interpretation of current problems.

My recommendation to you would be to leave Kraken ASAP, and go to another trading platform.
