API Setup
Connect only the APIs your trading workflow needs
A plain-English setup page for AI keys, market data, broker/exchange connections, Telegram alerts, and optional quantum research.
ZeroTrade works best when setup is small and deliberate.
You do not need every connector. Start with one AI provider or one broker/exchange route, prove it in demo or paper mode, then add more only when the workflow actually needs it.
The setup path customers can actually follow
Start with AI-only, paper trading, market alerts, or hosted automation. Enterprise users can add private-machine testing later. Do not add every API at once.
Use the provider's API settings page. For brokers and exchanges, begin read-only or paper where possible.
Trading systems should not need withdrawal, transfer, funding, or recovery permissions. Keep API scopes narrow.
Log in, open API Keys, select the provider, paste the key once, and save. Secrets are not shown back in plain text.
Use demo, replay, or paper mode first. Live API mode remains a separate, deliberate step.
AI watches, explains, ranks, and briefs.
AI providers do not bypass the risk engine and should not receive secrets, seed phrases, or unrestricted trading credentials.
For crypto, Solana, broker routes, and alerts.
For live trading, customers must use their own provider accounts and confirm permissions, regional availability, and risk settings.
Read-only first. No withdrawal keys.
If a provider supports IP allowlists, paper keys, read-only mode, or withdrawal-disabled keys, use those safer settings first.

How paid live API trading is armed
Free accounts prove the flow in demo/paper. Paid hosted accounts can arm real API orders only after explicit setup, caps, cooldown, and risk acknowledgement.
