 API Integration

Connect  to Trade Apps step by step: static IP, an Algo Trading app, API key and secret, 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  developer apps page. 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 (IPv6) 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 IPv6 address. It is long, with colons — for example 2402:1f00:8300:… Copy the whole thing.
  • 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 — Create an Algo Trading app

#

Open the  developer apps page in a new tab and log in with your  login details.

Go to Apps → Algo Trading and click + App. Fill App Name (up to 20 letters, for example Trade Apps) and Redirect URL (paste the one from Trade Apps). Leave the optional boxes empty. Click Continue.

The Create New Algo Trading App form: App Name, Redirect URL, Postback URL (optional) with Order Update ticked, Notifier Webhook Endpoint (optional) and Description (optional).

Step 3 — Add your static IP

#

Click + Static IPs. Paste your Trade Apps IP in Primary IP, leave Secondary IP empty, and click Save.

The Static IPs page with a Primary IP box, a Secondary IP box, and Cancel and Save buttons.
Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 4 — Copy the API Key and API Secret

#

In My Apps → Algo Trading, click the arrow next to your app to open it. Copy the API Key. For the API Secret, use its copy icon (the eye icon shows it).

My Apps on the Algo Trading tab with an app opened: API Key with a copy icon, API Secret shown as stars with copy, show and refresh icons, and Access Token with a Generate button.
Copy these two. 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 6-character  client code (UCC) from your  profile. Not your mobile number.
  • API Key — the API Key of your app.
  • API Secret — the API Secret of your app.
  • 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 opens: the first time it asks for the full login, later only your PIN. 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  developer apps page, the IP must be exactly the one Trade Apps shows, in the IPv6 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.
  • Mobile number typed as Client ID.  needs the 6-character client code from your profile.
  • 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.
