In order to trade automatically on your behalf, Cornix requires access to your exchange account. This connection between Cornix to your exchange is called an account (Client), and is based on APIs. This connection is only used for trading and viewing purposes, programmatically via the API integration.

This guide assumes that you already have a foundational understanding of what clients and API keys are. If this is not the case, please take the time to review the guides about what is an account (client) and what is an API Key before proceeding.

Navigate to your "Accounts" page on the left side of your screen.

If you already have some existing accounts, they will appear over there. If not, click "+Create" / "Create Account" to start creating new connections.
​

Once you proceed to click on "Create Account", you'll be requested to choose an exchange.

Proceed to choosing your desired exchange

Choosing any exchange with the "Quick Connect" option will create the exchange accounts automatically, while creating encrypted and IP-restricted API keys.
