Connecting exchanges
Connection keys, choosing an exchange for a bot, and connection problems.
- How do I create a connection key without withdrawal permission?On your exchange, create an API key with read and spot trading permissions only, never withdrawal or transfer, and restrict it to our server's IP address 34.153.222.181 alone. Then paste the key and its secret into SailoBot and test the connection. A key with withdrawal permission, or one that isn't restricted to that address alone, is refused.
- Which exchange does a new bot use?With one linked exchange, new bots use it automatically. With more than one, the first step of creating a bot asks which exchange to use, starting with the one you used last. A bot stays on its exchange. The top of your account shows the USDT balance on each exchange, for information.
- What happens if the connection to my exchange is lost?Only the bots on that exchange are affected. They show "Affected by lost connection", with the last update time, until you reconnect. Bots on other exchanges keep working.
