1. Primary Commands
Use these commands for portfolio queries. They calculate totals automatically.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| summary | Portfolio overview with correct totals |

Example Output summary
TOTAL NET WORTH
Main Wallet (Equity): $544.95
Earn Wallet (Bonded): $81.89
TOTAL: $626.84
AUTO EARN (Flexible) in Main Wallet
BTC : $493.92 (rewards: $0.03)

3. Critical Caveats
Double Counting Warning
Do not add balance and earn-positions together.
Kraken has two staking types.
- Auto Earn Flexible assets stay in the Main wallet. These are included in portfolio equity.
- Bonded Staking assets move to the Earn wallet. These are not in portfolio equity.
The summary command handles this correctly. If you use raw commands manually follow this logic.
- Correct calculation is Total equals Portfolio Equity plus Bonded Earn Only.
- Incorrect calculation is Total equals Portfolio Equity plus All Earn Allocations.
API Response Notes
- ohlc returns a list under the pair key.
- depth bids and asks are nested under the pair key.
- recent-trades returns a list containing price, volume, time, side, type, and misc.
- earn-strategies uses the items key with apr_estimate.
