I just saw someone trade and we discovered a disturbing bug on Kraken Futures where the trade value did not match the executed value (filled).
Essentially we would e.g. do a test trade where we executed a 10 USD market buy on Litecoin perpetual futures, but when you looked at the filled orders it did a 1000 USD market buy instead. On first glance it looks like a bug in the website front-end where the order value was not updated after you switched between ETH, BTC and LTC trading pair tabs. It also affects stop-sell orders, not just market orders. The bug was reproducible.
Kraken Futures support has been contacted and knows about the bug. Just writing this here in case anybody else has the same issue. We have video proof that I am not going to share here because it contains personal information. For now be careful and double check your orders!
