Getting Started#

This page takes you from a fresh account to your first executed algo order. Sign-up and linking a venue take a few minutes each; activating your subscription is immediate by credit card, or as long as your account manager needs if you are invoiced.

Prerequisites#

  • An account on at least one supported venue, funded with the asset you intend to trade.
  • Derivatives enabled on that venue account if you plan to trade perpetuals.
  • Permission on the venue to create API keys and to restrict them to an IP allowlist.

1. Create your account#

  1. Go to pro.anboto.xyz and sign up with your email address.
  2. Confirm the verification code sent to your inbox and set a password.
  3. On first login you land in your default workspace.

2. Connect an exchange#

Anboto executes on your exchange accounts — it never holds funds. Connect at least one venue:

  1. Open Settings → Linked Exchanges (top right) and pick the tab for your venue type: Link CEX, Link OTC, or Link Perp-DEX.
  2. On the venue side, create an API key with trading permission only — no withdrawal permission. See API Key Security for how keys are stored.
  3. Restrict the key to Anboto's IP allowlist. This step is mandatory: copy the IPs shown for your account on Settings → Linked Exchanges and add them on the venue side, or the key will fail validation.
  4. Enter the credentials in Anboto and save. Seven of the fifteen supported venues need a third credential alongside the key and secret — a passphrase, account ID, or key pair, depending on the venue; the venue support matrix shows which.

The full walkthrough, per venue, is in Connect Exchanges.

3. Activate your subscription#

Open Billing and subscribe with a credit card, or ask your account manager to set the subscription up for you. Execution fees are charged separately on the volume you trade — see Fee Rates.

4. Place your first order#

  1. In the trading workspace, pick a symbol (e.g. ETH/USDT · Binance · perp).
  2. Choose direction (Buy/Sell), the account to trade on, and a quantity.
  3. Pick a strategy — TWAP with a 1-hour duration is a good first order.
  4. Choose a trading style: Passive, Hybrid, or Aggressive (see Maker vs. Taker).
  5. Review and submit.

The order form

Your order appears in the Regular orders tab, where you can watch fills arrive. Cancel is the only action on a live order — there is no amend and no manual pause; to change a parameter, cancel and place a new order for the remaining quantity. See Order Monitoring & History and Managing Orders.
