broker API Integration | Bluechip Algos Documentation

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 Trade API 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. This broker needs no redirect URL.

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.

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 — Open API keys

#

Open the Trade API page in a new tab and log in with your login details.

Click Get started, then API keys on the left. You see the API key dashboard.

charges a monthly fee for its Trade API — check the current price with .

The API key dashboard with a list of keys and their status, the Update static IP button, and the Generate API key menu open showing Generate TOTP token and Generate Access Token.

Step 3 — Generate a TOTP token

#

Click the small arrow next to Generate API key and choose Generate TOTP token (not Access Token).

Enter a name, for example Trade Apps, and click Continue.

The TOTP token box asking for a Name, with a note to add your static IP, and a Continue button.

Step 4 — Copy the token and scan the QR code

#

now shows three things, only once: the TOTP Token (a long text), a QR code, and the TOTP secret under it.

Copy the TOTP Token — this goes into Trade Apps.

Open an authenticator app on your phone (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Authy) and scan the QR code. The app now shows a new 6-digit code every 30 seconds. You will type this code each time you connect.

Click Done only after both are saved.

The TOTP token box after it is created: TOTP Token with a copy button, a TOTP QR Code, the secret with a copy button, a warning that they are shown only once, and a Done button. — Shown only once. If you lose it, make a new token and scan its new QR code. Grey boxes hide private details such as keys, IPs and names.

Step 5 — Add your static IP

#

Back on the API key dashboard, click Update static IP at the top right and paste your Trade Apps IP. Save.

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 code (UCC) from your profile. Not your email.
TOTP Token (not the TOTP secret) — paste the long TOTP Token.
needs no API Secret and no redirect URL.
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. A small box asks for today’s 6-digit code from your authenticator app. Type it; we use it once and never store it.

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 Trade API 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.
Key and secret swapped, or a space copied with them. Paste each one again into the right box.
TOTP secret pasted instead of the token. The box wants the long TOTP Token, not the short secret under the QR code.
Code from an old QR. Every new token has its own QR code. After making a new token, scan the new QR again.
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.
