Kraken works a little differently: it doesn't have sub-accounts. Instead, you create a separate, dedicated Kraken account just for Alpha Pro.
Why dedicated? Alpha Pro needs a space that only it uses. To keep the strategy working correctly, don't place manual trades or modify positions inside it once it's running.
Step 1 — Create a dedicated account
Follow the official Kraken guide on how to create an account.
Step 2 — Transfer funds
Your account needs to hold the minimum balance before you connect it — at least $30,000 USDT or USDC for Alpha 1x, or 0.4 BTC or $30,000 USDT or USDC for Alpha 2x. If the funds aren't there, connecting will fail with an "Insufficient Funds" error.
Fund the new dedicated account: follow the Kraken funding guide. Make sure the assets land in the dedicated account you just created — the one Alpha Pro will trade in.
What's next
Your account is ready. Continue with the setup guide to connect it to Alpha Pro: How to get started and set up Alpha Pro.
