”Order Size Too Small”

Security Recommendations

​

Best Practices

1. Strong Passphrase: Use 12+ characters with mixed case, numbers, symbols
2. No Withdraw Permission: Never enable - funds stay secure
3. IP Whitelisting: If available, restrict to your server IP
4. Regular Rotation: Change API keys every 90 days
5. Monitor Trades: Check API activity logs periodically
