First of all you will need to to generate API keys with relevant permissions for exchange you want to add. They can be generated is user area of crypto exchange. Instructions about how to do that can be easily found on the exchange website or on the web.

In a new session properties window you need to select CRYPTO_WS or CRYPTO_REST for Quote type depending in the exchange you want to add. If both are available we recommend to choose choose CRYPTO_WS connector. For Trade type only CRYPTO_REST can be selected.


In Crypto pricing and Crypto trading tabs you need to select from drop-down list connector you want to use. For several exchanges more than one connector is available. After that specify API and secret key to corresponding fields in Crypto trading tab.

In Symbols tab you also need to select corresponding crypto connector from Broker/Exchange menu to load a symbols list.

Many exchanges have limitation for number of symbols subscriptions so we recommend not to activate more than 20 symbols per session.

If you want to subscribe to more instruments we recommend to create another session with separate set of API keys.


Important!!! Every time you change machine/VPS you should generate a new set API keys. If you plan to use 2 or more instances of the software you should a separate set of keys for each instance.
