Connecting to exchanges

 

Use API connections to become a more efficient trader.

Traders can use altFINS’ many features even without connecting to supported exchanges, including run screens, alerts, watchlists and Twitter news.

However, connect your exchange accounts with altFINS will get you the following benefits:

  1. Filter Screener results for just coins in your portfolio
  2. Filter Signals Summary section for just coins in your portfolio
  3. Filter automated Chart Patterns for just coins in your portfolio
  4. Monitor coins in your portfolio across multiple exchanges
  5. Trade coins in your portfolio across multiple exchanges

You can easily connect your altFINS account to your exchange accounts via API connections.  All exchanges offer their users the ability to create an API connection so that they can use third party tools to trade and monitor their positions.

  • Currently we enable API connectivity with the following exchanges.
  1. Binance (see how to connect)
  2. Bitfinex (see how to connect)
  3. Bittrex (see how to connect)
  4. HitBTC (see how to connect)
  5. Kraken (see how to connect)
  6. Poloniex (see how to connect)

Important: when setting up an API key on an exchange, DO NOT select “withdrawals”.  Only provide access for trading and account information.  This minimizes security risks for you.
