Protecting your trading bot from over-permissive API keys is crucial for success. 🔒
Securing your connection for platforms like WolfBot requires a precise, multi-layered approach.
1. Never grant withdrawal or transfer permissions. This is the most critical control setting. ⚠️
2. When setting up keys on exchanges like Binance, navigate to API Management. Enable Spot & Margin Trading, but specifically disable Withdrawals.
3. For WolfBot to work, ensure the API key has 'Trade' (Read-Write) and 'Read' (Read-Only) permissions enabled, while explicitly disabling all withdrawal or transfer capabilities. ✅
4. For maximum security, always bind your API keys to your machine's IP address. This prevents unauthorized use from different locations. 📍
5. If you suspect a key is compromised, immediately delete the key on the exchange, check for unauthorized activity, and generate a brand new, restricted key for WolfBot.
