Treat API access as a security decision
Automation starts with permissions. Prefer the minimum permission set needed for the strategy and avoid withdrawal permission for third-party bot tools.
Create separate API keys per tool, label them clearly, and revoke unused keys.
Test behavior before scale
Run small tests first. Confirm order placement, cancellation, alerts, error handling, and stop conditions before increasing exposure.
Automation should have a monitoring routine and a clear manual stop process.
Decision rule
Use this guide as a checklist, not as financial advice. Confirm current platform terms, local eligibility, and risk limits before opening or funding any account.
