Connect your BitMex Account

In order to connect the BitMEX account to Zignaly you need to create API keys:

1. Open your BitMEX account and go to API 

   

    

2. In API Overview go to API Key Management.

   

    

3. Set a name for your Keys (Ex: Zignaly), choose “Order” on Key Permissions and click on "Create API Key".

   

   Important: You don’t need to give Withdrawal permission, in fact, we encourage you to not enable it, for security purposes.

    

4. You will see a green sign confirming the API Key Created.

   

   Save them in a safe place because once you leave the BitMEX website the secret key will not be shown anymore.

   Example of created API keys in BitMEX:

   

   You should see your API KEYS at the bottom of that page.
