Why do I see 'EGeneral:Invalid arguments:volume' on Kraken?

This error means your bot tried to place an order with an invalid volume on Kraken. Increase your minimum amount per order in your base config to meet Kraken's minimum order size.

The 'EGeneral:Invalid arguments:volume' error means your trading bot tried to place an order on Kraken, but the volume was rejected as invalid. Kraken sends this error when the order volume is either too low for the trading pair or contains an incorrect number of decimal places.

Cause

There are two possible causes:

  • Your minimum amount per order is below the minimum order size Kraken requires for this specific trading pair.

  • The volume your bot is sending contains an incorrect number of decimal places.

How to fix it

  1. Check Kraken's minimum trade amounts for your trading pair.

  2. In Cryptohopper, go to Configuration and open Base config.

  3. Navigate to Coins and amounts.

  4. Increase the Minimum amount per order to meet or exceed Kraken's minimum for this pair.

  5. Click Save to apply the change.

Verify it is fixed

After saving, check your error log to confirm the error no longer appears.

Still seeing the error?

If your minimum amount per order is already above Kraken's minimum and you are still seeing this error, the issue may be with the decimal precision of the order volume. Contact our support team via live chat or at [email protected] so we can resolve this for you.
