KuCoin Setup Guide

This guide walks you through a safer KuCoin connection for StratPilot. It is written for everyday traders, not developers: keep a separate sub-account, give the API key only the permissions it needs, and never share API keys in screenshots or support chats.

Step-By-Step Setup

  1. Log in to KuCoin.
  2. Go to Account / Sub-Accounts.
  3. Create a dedicated sub-account for StratPilot.
  4. Transfer only the capital you want to test with.
  5. Open API Management for that sub-account.
  6. Create a new API key.
  7. Grant only the minimum permissions the key needs.
  8. Leave withdrawal permission off.
  9. Add an IP restriction where possible.
  10. Copy the API key, secret and passphrase.
  11. Open StratPilot Settings or the first-run wizard.
  12. Paste the API key, secret and passphrase into the KuCoin fields.
  13. Run Test KuCoin public API.
  14. Run the private balance/read-only test if available.
  15. Start in Simulation/Backtest mode with small amounts.
  16. Enable live trading only once you understand the risk.

Security And Risk Notes

  • StratPilot never needs withdrawal permission.
  • Never share your API secret or passphrase.
  • Do not store API keys in screenshots.
  • Delete or rotate the key immediately if you suspect a leak.
  • Trading involves risk, and losses are possible.
  • Historical performance does not guarantee future results. StratPilot is not financial advice.

KuCoin

KuCoin is the exchange StratPilot connects to today. Inside the desktop app you add your own KuCoin API keys, test the connection and work in backtest and simulation first. Live trading is off by default and only starts once you enable it yourself, after reviewing the settings and the risk.

Use a dedicated KuCoin sub-account and never grant withdrawal permission - StratPilot never needs it.
