error EGeneral:Invalid arguments

[ratio91]

Thanks for the great work!

One problem though: I always receive the following error when placing orders:
{"error":["EGeneral:Invalid arguments"]}

Other requests such as order history, etc. work fine however.

That's strange since that means that an argument for the Kraken request is not valid. Since this is working for me, it should mean that it's an issue on your side. Has to have something todo with the config file. Could you please try to verify that the content of the config is valid?

If you don't find any wrong entries, please post the content of the file here but without the 'user_id' and without the 'bot_token'

So i tried your config and it works fine. No issues for me. I just had to change USD to EUR since i don't have any dollars. Then i could create an order without issues. Did you change anything in your script? Please make sure that you use the latest version without changes.

Also, while creating a buy order for testing, please use a reasonable volume. Something that is not a floating point number. For example something like this: buy 5 ETH for 5€ each. That will not be executed because nobody is insane enough to sell you ETH for 5€ and all values are for sure valid. Kraken has some minimum order volume limits that have to be taken care of.

If you still face the issue, then please set the parameter log_to_file to True in the config, restart your bot, replicate the error and then send me the logfile (generated in the same folder as the script) so that i can take a look at it.

thx. solved
(maybe it was a server error by kraken.com all along, since their service was not fully working the last weeks)...

Happy to hear that it's solved. Yeah Kraken has some serious issues for a long time now. Let's hope that they can sort things out soon.
