Description

Traded yesterday kraken.BCH-EUR and started with 0,15 BCH and 0 EUR. After first sell execution zenbot showed 0 BCH and 0 EUR. So neither trade nor "zenbot buy" was possible due to missing Euro. I double checked at kraken that the values were not right and bought manually BCH with EUR. Then I tried again with the trading and same issue repeated.

So looks to me this is a bug I didn't see before with any asset/currency pair. Can somebody confirm?

Research direction
Examine the trade execution code in the Zenbot repository (likely in files related to the Kraken exchange adapter or the trading engine). Identify where account balances are updated after a sell order is filled. Look for any logic that incorrectly sets BCH or EUR balances to zero. Check if there is a mismatch between the Kraken API response and the bot's internal balance tracking. Review the issue comments for any additional context or reproduction steps.
