Kryll Guide
This lesson covers one of the 5 platforms that I can recommend for algorithmic trading. It requires no coding, easy to use, but only supports crypto.
Let's get started.
Part 1. Quick-Start
Check this official guide with videos
First, you need to have an exchange ready. It can be Coinbase, Binance, KuCoin, Kraken, Gate.io, Crypto.com, Bittrex, or HitBTC.
Create a free Kryll.io account. Username, email, password — as always.
Fill the investor profile. Pick Long‑term and Security for low‑risk defaults.
Link the exchange by API key.
Spot‑trading and “Read/Trade” only.
Paste keys into Kryll.
Receive $7 KRL credit.
Enable 2‑factor auth and set a security question.
Launch the first bot (Marketplace).
Click a bot with solid stats.
Hit Launch.
Choose the linked exchange.
Select one trading pair.
Allocate at least $200.
Press Start.
Watch it work. Open My strategies → Active to track fills, PnL, and fees.
Install the Kryll app to monitor bots, swap coins, and launch new strategies on the go.
Part 2. First Steps in Editor
Time to move from “watching” to “building”.
First, get inside. Log in, then hit Strategy Editor on the left. Click Create a new strategy. You’re now on the workbench.
1 . Know the four zones
Settings bar
Pair, timeframe, back‑test window, balance, Pro‑mode toggle, auto‑save.
Swap pair fast, tweak back‑test dates, switch to TradingView chart if you want indicators.
Chart
Candles, indicators (Pro‑mode), mock fills when you back‑test.
Visual proof the bot is firing where it should.
Block list
All indicator blocks and logic blocks.
Your toolbox. Every strategy is just blocks wired together.
Editing area
Empty grid—the canvas.
Drag blocks here, set them up, link them into a flow.
2 . Handle blocks like a pro
Drop a block
Click‑hold a block in the list, drag to the canvas, release.
Move
Click‑hold a block, drag, drop.
Select
Double‑click a block.
Open settings
Double‑click the thin bar under the block.
Duplicate
Select, press D. All params copy over.
Delete
Select, hit DEL or BACKSPACE.
Link
Select the first block (double‑click), then click the next block. Flow arrow points from first to second.
Pick a link
Double‑click the line, or re‑select the two blocks.
3 . Fast keys you’ll use every day
Z
Undo last action.
Y
Redo.
SPACE + drag
Pan the whole canvas.
SHIFT + drag new block
Auto‑link that block to the last one you placed.
You can now drag, drop, wire, and tweak blocks without thinking. In the next part we’ll build a real strategy and run the first test.
Part 3. Build your first bot (SuperTrend)
We’ve clicked around long enough. Let’s wire a live strategy.
1 . Prep the canvas
Turn on Pro‑mode – click Pro on the settings bar to swap in the TradingView chart.
Add SuperTrend – top‑left of the chart press Indicators → SuperTrend (Kryll).
Switch chart to 1 D; that’s the timeframe we’ll trade.
2 . Drop the logic
Drag SuperTrend from the block list to the canvas. Open its settings, set timeframe to 1 D, keep direction = Bullish, close.*
Notice the lone Wallet block already there—it’s your starting node.
Link Wallet → SuperTrend (double‑click Wallet, click SuperTrend). Flow arrow appears.
Drag in a Buy Limit block. Link SuperTrend → Buy Limit. Now the bot buys when SuperTrend flips green.
3 . Add the exit
Select the SuperTrend block, hit D to duplicate.
Open the copy, switch direction to Bearish.
Drag in a Sell Limit block. Wire Bearish SuperTrend → Sell Limit.
So far: Wallet → Bull ST → Buy → Bear ST → Sell.
4 . Make it loop
Right now it’s one‑shot: after that Sell it dies. Two quick ways to loop:
Link back
Simply connect Sell Limit → Wallet. Straightforward, can get messy later.
GoTo block (cleaner)
Drag GoTo, set destination = Wallet, close. Link Sell Limit → GoTo. Press G any time to reveal hidden GoTo links.
Pick one; same result.
5 . Backtest
Top bar: choose Binance – BNB/USDT.
Set start 2018‑01‑01 and end 2020‑12‑31.
Hit Test.
A progress bar crawls; bigger date ranges take longer. When it finishes the Analysis pane shows:
Net % PnL
Trades count
Max drawdown
Equity curve on the chart
You should see multiple round‑trips now that the loop is in place.
6 . What next?
Scroll the chart. Each green triangle = buy, red = sell. If fills don’t line up with SuperTrend flips, revisit block settings.
Save the strategy; we’ll upgrade it with stops and risk rules in the next part.
You just built, looped, and tested a working bot without writing a single line of code. But we are not there yet.
Part 4. Versioning, Workbench, and Deep Analysis
By now you’ve got a looping SuperTrend + Stoch RSI bot. Let’s stress‑test it, track every tweak, and find out if it’s worth real money.
1 . Upgrade the logic
Pair & TF – keep BNB/USDT, 1 D.
Blocks
Drag an AND block onto the canvas.
Into slot 1 drop SuperTrend (Trend = Bullish, TF = 1 D).
Into slot 2 drop Stoch RSI (Signal = Overbuy, TF = 1 D, Overbuy level = 50).
Link AND → Buy.
Duplicate Stoch RSI, set Position = Neutral. Link to a Sell‑50 % block.
Duplicate SuperTrend, set Trend = Bearish. Link to a final Sell‑100 % block.
Close the loop with GoTo → Wallet.
This stack buys when trend flips up and Stoch RSI sits above 50, scales out when momentum cools, and exits on trend reversal.
2 . Create a test suite
My rule: diversify the back‑test or the bot will ambush you live.
Hit Test with BTC/USDT first — start 2021‑04‑14, end 2023‑01‑24.
When the run finishes, press Workbench → Add. That snapshots code and stats.
Repeat for ETH, BNB, SOL, FTM, DOT, MATIC, LUNA (for the laugh), CAKE, THETA, ENJ. Ten pairs, same dates.
Now the Workbench holds ten sealed results you can open with one click.
3 . Use versioning like Git for traders
After every meaningful change — new exit rule, different Stoch level—hit Save → New version.
Kryll stores the code diff plus the test history.
Need to roll back? Just select an older version in the dropdown and you’re instantly there.
I tag versions “v2‑half‑exit” or “v3‑tight‑stop” so I know what changed without opening the flow.
4 . Read the analysis window
Perf % – net growth on that pair.
Trades – more isn’t better; sweet spot is 5‑30 per year on daily charts.
Equity DD vs Max DD – equity is intra‑trade pain, max is worst closed loss. Keep equity DD under 25 %.
Charts – hover the equity curve; look for long flat spots or V‑drops.
When the surface stats look solid, smash Deep Analysis at lower right. It drills into:
Per‑trade heat map.
Monthly breakdown (find dead months).
Risk metrics: Sharpe, Sortino, Win/Loss size.
5 . My personal filters
I green‑light a bot only if across the ten‑pair basket:
Median equity drawdown
≤ 25 %
Max pair drawdown
≤ 50 %
Sharpe
≥ 1.0
Annualised return
≥ 40 %
Losing streak
< 8 trades
Our test set hit 152 % total, ~67 % CAGR, equity DD ‑22 %, max DD ‑46 %. Good start, but Sharpe was soft. I’d tighten stops or add a time‑exit before letting it touch real capital.
6 . Tips from 80+ live bots
Save first, experiment later. Always clone a new version before a drastic tweak.
Workbench isn’t a trophy case— clean it. Keep only the top five snapshots; clutter hides flaws.
Test baskets, not heroes. A bot that crushes one coin and bleeds nine others is a landmine.
Walk‑forward every quarter. Shift the test window 90 days and rerun; if performance collapses, the edge is gone.
Document in the version notes. Future‑you won’t remember why “v7‑rev‑B” exists.
Lock these habits now and you’ll iterate faster than most desk‑bound coders.
Now you can create your trading bots on Kryll. This guide was relatibly simple (we only launched a basic strategy bot). Next, you need to spend 5-10 hours to try different tools and approaches to master this tool and start creating something more complex. You may do it now, before you move on to the next tool. Take your time.
