This article contains instructions for configuring the connection of CScalp to the Bitmex cryptocurrency exchange. Before you start connecting, you must already have CScalp installed.
Now you need to create the "ID" и "Secret" keys to connect to CScalp.

In the "Name" field, enter a name, for example "CScalp". We recommend that you give a descriptive name, such as "CScalp".

In the "Key Permissions" field, select "Order". Do not tick the box "Withdraw".
Click Generate API Key
3. Save the keys "ID" and "Secret"
After the trader has confirmed the creation of the API, a window will appear containing the data for the "ID" and "Secret" keys. Be sure to save the "Secret" option, as it will not be available after you close the window. The "ID" key will always be available in your personal account.
