Overview: BitPanel connects directly to your exchange via API — your funds stay in your custody while bots execute trades securely.
Step 1 — Generate API Keys
- Kraken: API → Add Key → enable “Query” + “Trade”.
 - Coinbase Advanced: Create API key → enable “Trade”.
 - Binance: Enable “Spot Trading” only; disable “Withdrawals”.
 
Label keys clearly (e.g., “BitPanel-Live” or “BitPanel-Paper”).
Step 2 — Add Keys to BitPanel
Go to Settings → API Keys → Add New. Paste key + secret. Keys are encrypted at rest; never stored in plain text.
Step 3 — Validate Permissions
BitPanel performs a non-trading connectivity check. No live orders occur until you enable Live Mode.
Security Tips
- Use IP allowlisting if supported by your exchange.
 - Rotate API keys every 60–90 days.
 - Never enable withdrawals.
 
Best practice: Always start in Paper Mode. Validate behavior and allocations before going live.
