Use a personal API key
Create a read-only or trade-enabled key in settings. Keys expire, can be revoked, and are displayed in full only once. Keep them in environment variables, never shared notebooks or source repositories.
TRADING RULES
Your strategy. Your code. The same rules.
Automation is a supported way to trade, not a reason to invent hidden restrictions.
Every order follows the same path
Only the five approved instruments are allowed. Margin, protective stop risk, aggregate concentration, account status, and quote freshness are checked on the server. Request keys prevent duplicate orders.
Respect the execution policy
The 5-second discretionary hold applies to API closes. Protective stops and risk liquidations remain active. High-frequency requests are rate-limited; rate limits are not an invitation to latency-arbitrage the feed.
Copy only your own accounts
Native copying supports up to 50 owned accounts with proportional or fixed sizing. It does not grant access to another trader’s account or authorize credential sharing.
