 API Integration

Connect  to Trade Apps step by step: static IP,  app, API key, Connect.

What you need before you start?

#

This page connects your  account to Trade Apps, from start to finish. It takes about 10 minutes the first time. After that, you only press Connect once each trading day.

You will move between two websites: Trade Apps (our platform) and  portal. Keep both open in two browser tabs.

  • Your  trading account, active, and your login details for it.
  • Your Trade Apps login, with this broker account already showing under Settings → Brokers Connected. If it is not there, WhatsApp support at 9398840360 — accounts are added by our team.
  • A laptop or desktop is easier than a phone for the broker portal.

Step 1 — Get your static IP in Trade Apps

#

Brokers accept API orders only from an address you have approved, called a static IP. Trade Apps gives you one with your subscription. Free-trial accounts get none, because Forward Testing does not need it.

Open Settings. Under Brokers Connected, find your  account and click the small pencil (Edit) button on its right.

In the form that opens, the Static IP box says Not assigned yet. Click the Get static IP link under it. A box appears with Your static IP (IPv4) and a Copy IP button. Under it is the Redirect URL with a Copy redirect URL button. You need both in the next step.

Copy the IP now (and the redirect URL, if shown) and keep this tab open. If the form already shows a static IP, there is no button — copy the IP from the Static IP box, and the redirect URL from the Redirect URL box in the same form.

  • Your IP for  is an IPv4 address. It looks like four numbers with dots — for example 151.242.10.20.
  • Paste only the IP. Never add a port number, and never use your home Wi-Fi or mobile IP.
The account edit form in Settings for a new account: Broker Type, Client ID, Static IP showing Not assigned yet with the Get static IP link under it, the empty API detail boxes, and Save Credentials.
A new account: no static IP yet, so the Get static IP link shows under the box. Your own form shows your own client ID.

Step 2 — Add an app on

#

Open the  portal in a new tab and log in with your  login details.

Under My Smart API & Apps, click + ADD APP. Fill in:

  • App Name — any name, for example Trade Apps.
  • Redirect URL — paste the redirect URL you copied from Trade Apps.
  • Post back URL — leave empty.
  • Primary Static IP — paste your Trade Apps IP. It is an IPv4 address (four numbers with dots).
  • Secondary Static IP — leave empty.
The broker API portal with the Add App box open: App Name, Redirect URL, Post back URL (optional), Primary Static IP, Secondary Static IP (optional), and Cancel and Add buttons.
The broker lets you change the static IP only once a week, so paste it carefully. Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 3 — Copy the API key

#

Click Add. Your app appears in the Apps list.

Your API key is at the top of the page, next to API Type Trading. Click the eye icon to show it, then copy it.

 gives no API secret — the key is all you need.

The broker page after adding the app: the API Key row at the top with an eye icon, and the Apps list below with App Name, Redirect URL and Primary Static IP.
The API key sits in the top row, not in the app list. Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Paste the details in Trade Apps

#

Go back to the Trade Apps tab. Open Settings, click the pencil on your  account again, and fill in:

  • Client ID — your  client ID.
  • API Key — the API key from .
  • There is no API Secret box for .
  • Click Save Credentials.
The same edit form in Settings, with only the boxes for the API details outlined.
Paste into the outlined boxes, then click Save Credentials.

Connect and check it worked

#

Under Brokers Connected, click Connect. The  login page opens; log in with your client ID, PIN and the TOTP from your authenticator app. You come back to Trade Apps by yourself.

When it worked, your account in Brokers Connected shows a green dot and the words Session active (broker validated). You are ready to trade.

Broker sessions end every night. Each trading day, open Settings and press Connect once before the market opens. You do not repeat the setup.

The account under Brokers Connected after setup: a green dot, the client ID, the static IP and the words Session active (broker validated), with the edit, refresh and Disconnect buttons.
Green dot and Session active — the setup is done.

If it does not work

#

Check these in order. Most failures are one of the first three.

  • Wrong IP or IP saved in the wrong box. In the  portal, the IP must be exactly the one Trade Apps shows, in the IPv4 box. After changing it, wait 2 minutes, then press Connect again.
  • Redirect URL has a typo or extra space. Copy it again with the Copy redirect URL button and paste it fresh.
  • Key and secret swapped, or a space copied with them. Paste each one again into the right box.
  • TOTP not enabled.  login needs TOTP. Turn it on from Enable TOTP at the top of the  portal.
  • IP changed this week already.  allows one IP change a week. If it refuses, WhatsApp support.
  • Still stuck? WhatsApp 9398840360 with a screenshot of the error and the time. Never send your password, OTP, TOTP secret or API secret — we never need them.
