Please pay attention that rateLimit configuration entry holds delay in milliseconds between requests, NOT requests/sec rate.
So, in order to mitigate Kraken API "Rate limit exceeded" exception, this configuration should be increased, NOT decreased.
## Kraken Futures
Kraken Futures uses the exchange id `krakenfutures` and supports isolated futures mode.
```jsonc
"exchange": {
"name": "krakenfutures",
"key": "your_exchange_key",
"secret": "your_exchange_secret",
"ccxt_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
"ccxt_async_config": {"enableRateLimit": true},
"triggerSignal": "mark" // "mark" (default), "last", or "index"
},
"trading_mode": "futures",
"margin_mode": "isolated",
"stake_currency": "USD"
```
!!! Tip "Stoploss on Exchange"
Kraken Futures supports `stoploss_on_exchange` with both `limit` and `market` stop orders.
Use `exchange.triggerSignal` to select the trigger price source (`mark`, `last`, or `index`).
!!! Note "Collateral"
Kraken Futures is USD-settled. Kraken allows EUR collateral, but USD is the recommended stake currency.
!!! Note "Pair format"
Futures pairs use CCXT symbols, for example `BTC/USD:USD`.
### Data download
Kraken Futures uses normal OHLCV downloads.
```bash
freqtrade download-data --exchange krakenfutures --trading-mode futures --pairs BTC/USD:USD --timeframes 1m 5m
```
Note: OHLCV requests are capped at 2000 candles per call, so large downloads may take longer.
## Kucoin
