Exchanges

Trade on your own exchange account, from your own machine.

The CTrL desktop client connects directly to your exchange with your own API key or wallet key. Orders go from your computer to the exchange: your funds stay on your account and your keys never reach our servers.

Setup

Connect an exchange in four steps

1. Create an API key

On your exchange, create a key with trading permission only. Never enable withdrawals for a trading bot.

2. Install the client

Install the CTrL client on your PC, Mac, Linux server or VPS with one command.

3. Add the key locally

Add the key to the client's encrypted keystore, protected by a passphrase only you know.

4. Deploy a strategy

Send a tested strategy from the Web Lab to your client and start it. You can pause or stop it at any time.

Live trading needs a Basic or Pro plan (coming soon). Exchange names and logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to show compatibility.
