Connections
Connection
A connection is a record that links one exchange to one API key for that exchange. The key itself is stored only by the order executor; the app and the server hold a reference to it. Connections are created, edited and deleted in the "Connections" section of the app.
Exchange and account
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| "Exchange" | an exchange the terminal trades on; chosen at creation and cannot be changed |
| "Name" | the connection's name; visible only to you — in the connections list and in bundles; required, may be repeated |
| "Connection №" | a number assigned by the server: sequential for each exchange — 01, 02, …; numbers of deleted connections are not issued again |
| "Fees" | optional: your taker rate on perpetual contracts and on spot, in percent; empty — the exchange's rate |
One exchange can have several connections, one per key.
The connections list has the columns "Name", "Exchange", "Connection №", "Taker perp %" and "Taker spot %"; editing and deleting — see "Editing and deleting".
Markets
A connection serves all the markets of the exchange that the terminal trades on (see "What is Profit Cloud → Exchanges"). A market temporarily closed for trading is marked by the connection wizard in the key check.
