General Rules for Creating API Keys on an Exchange
Before creating API keys, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) through Google Authenticator on your exchange. This can be done in the security settings.
Note that the Secret Key (its name may vary on different exchanges) is displayed only once – upon creation. Copy the keys immediately after creation to enter them in the CScalp terminal. It is not necessary to store the key in phone notes or on paper. If needed, the key pair can be created again at any time.

Then set up the API restrictions:
- Click "Edit Restrictions" in the top right corner to configure the keys.
- Set the "IP Access Restrictions" to "Unrestricted (Less Secure)."
- If you have set "IP Access Restriction," uncheck the box that says "By checking this box, all existing API Key(s) on your master account and sub-accounts will be subject to Default Security Controls." Go through security verification to disable this setting. Without deactivating it, it's not possible to configure the API keys for trading with CScalp.
