Purpose

Trading API security protects user accounts and ecosystem trading systems.

Requirements

• Use least-privilege API keys.
• Disable withdrawals.
• Prefer IP restrictions where available.
• Encrypt stored secrets.
• Support revocation.
• Document exchange and automation risk.

User Responsibility

Users remain responsible for API permissions, account configuration, and capital exposure.

Draft Controls

Trading API documentation must default to least privilege and paper/local or explicitly approved environments. It must not imply live trading, withdrawals, treasury movement, user account management, or production exchange execution unless a separate approved request and security review authorize that status.

Sensitive trading API guidance should preserve:

• withdrawal-disabled API key requirements;
• limited scopes and revocation paths;
• clear account-owner responsibility;
• no-profit and loss-risk language;
• separation between signal, simulation, assisted action, and execution;
• secure storage requirements for any approved credential flow.

Publication Boundary

This page does not approve live trading or exchange access. Production trading claims require product owner, security, financial/compliance, and coordinator review.
