One thing I always recommend when using an API key don’t leave the IP whitelist open.

It might be easier to select “Allow All IPs, but if your API key ever gets leaked, anyone could try using it. If possible, only allow the IP you actually trade from or your server’s IP.

And please, keep withdrawal access turned off. Your API usually only needs read and trading permissions. This way, a leaked key can’t simply be used to withdraw your funds.

It takes a minute to set up, but that small step can make a big difference when it comes to protecting your account. 🔐

Automating your trading strategy? 🤖 The biggest risk isn't the market—it's the connection itself. You need automation that respects your capital sovereignty.

Here is the secure procedure for connecting to WolfBot:

1. Create API keys directly on your exchange (e.g., Binance or Bybit). 🔑
2. Crucially, ensure these keys are set with 'Trade permission only,' explicitly disabling withdrawal rights.
3. WolfBot automatically inspects the key's permissions and will refuse to connect any key with withdrawal enabled, meaning WolfBot is structurally unable to move your funds. ✅
4. All trading actions (placing, modifying, or closing orders) are routed exclusively through the exchange's official API, keeping everything within the trusted environment. 🛡️
5. When managing multiple accounts, WolfBot handles internal risk management—like setting take-profit/stop-loss orders, managing cooldowns, and implementing portfolio-level drawdown guards—all running on the exchange you already trust.
6. Remember, you retain ultimate control: you can revoke the API key directly from your exchange account at any moment, immediately severing WolfBot's access. 🛑
