How to Connect CScalp to Bitget

To trade on Bitget, open an account on the exchange. Visit the official Bitget website and click "Sign up".

Choose a registration method: "Email" or "Mobile". Enter your email/phone, set a password, provide a referral code (if you have one), read the exchange's User Agreement and Privacy Policy. Then tick the corresponding checkbox and click "Create Account."

Confirm your email/phone (you will receive a code).


Done, you have opened an account on the exchange. Let's now create API keys to connect Bitget and CScalp.

In the "Google Authenticator (recommended)" block, click "Configure."

Download the Google Authenticator app on your phone (if not already installed). Open the app, press the "+" icon, and choose how to connect: "Scan a QR code" or "Enter a setup key." After connecting, enter the code from the app in the respective field and click "Submit."

Complete the security verification (enter the code from the email/phone). Done, 2FA is connected. Moving on to creating API keys.

Open the user menu and click "API keys."

On the next page, read the API keys Terms & Conditions and click "Agree."

To start creating a key pair, click "+ Create API Key."

Select API key type: "System-generated API key" or "User-generated API key." The exchange creates the pair in the first case, while to use the second option you will have to install additional software. We will consider the first option.

Set the following API key parameters:

• In the "Note" field, name your key pair (for example, CScalp)
  
  
• In the "Passphrase (API token)" field, set the key's password
  
  
• Enable "Read-write" permission to allow the API keys to transmit trading commands from CScalp to Bitget
  
  
• Activate the "Orders" permission in the "Futures" field to send futures orders from CScalp to Bitget
  
  

Other parameters are not required for trading on the exchange through CScalp.
Click "Next" and pass the security verification.

Copy the "Access APIKey" and "SecretKey" to connect CScalp to Bitget. Note that the "SecretKey" is displayed only once when created. Copy it immediately to connect the terminal. It's not necessary to save and keep the key in phone notes or on paper. If needed, you can always recreate the keys in your Bitget personal account.

Click "Confirm."

Done, you have created the Bitget API keys. Now, let's connect the terminal to the exchange!

You can edit the key parameters by clicking "Edit." After passing security verification (enter the code from the email and Google Authenticator at the end of the editing window), it will be possible to make changes.

Find the "Bitget: Futures" connection and click on the gear icon to open the Bitget connection settings.

Enter the keys you created in the "ApiKey" and "ApiSecret" fields. Input the passphrase, turn off the "View mode" and click "OK."

The connection icon in the "State" column will turn green, meaning CScalp has successfully connected to Bitget. Now you can start trading!

API keys and other confidential data are encrypted and stored only on the user's computer. They are not shared with third parties. The terminal does not have access to your funds and can not withdraw funds from the user's account. All transactions (deposits, withdrawals, and transfers) are conducted by the user through their account on the exchange.

If third parties have access to your PC, set a PIN code to enter the terminal.
