Overview

What you'll see in Connect Your Exchange

Connecting an exchange is the first step to automating any strategy, and it is also the step traders are most cautious about — rightly so, since it involves handing over API access to your trading account. This video shows the entire process on screen, from start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect before you do it yourself.

auto-Trading supports more than 30 spot and derivatives exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase Advanced Trade, Kraken, Bybit, OKX, and KuCoin, all through a single unified connection flow. In the video you will see the three steps required: generating a read-and-trade API key in your exchange account settings, pasting it into auto-Trading's secure vault, and running a one-click connection test that confirms the link is live before any bot touches it.

How It Works

Behind the Scenes

Your API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256 inside an isolated key-management vault and are never requested with withdrawal permissions — the video highlights exactly where that permission toggle lives on the exchange side so you can double-check it yourself. Once connected, auto-Trading opens a persistent, authenticated session with the exchange's WebSocket feed, which is how your dashboard shows live prices and order status the moment you finish the steps shown here.
