Restricted permissions
Create a dedicated key for ATRADX. Enable only the read and trading scopes needed for the markets you use. Never enable withdrawals.
SECURITY & CONNECTION CENTER
Connect your exchange with clear permissions and a recovery plan.
Automated trading requires credentials that can read account data and place orders. This center explains what access ATRADX needs, how credentials are handled, and how to reduce avoidable risk before the first live order.

HOW ACCESS WORKS
Know what the software can—and cannot—do.
Credential handling
Credentials are saved on your device in files restricted to the current operating-system user.
Your exchange holds the funds
ATRADX does not custody your assets. Orders are submitted to your exchange through its API. Disabling withdrawals reduces one risk, but trading permission can still create losses or unwanted positions.
You can revoke access
You can stop ATRADX and delete the API key from the exchange at any time. Revoking a key does not cancel existing orders or close positions, so verify both separately.
