Trading guides
This page answers: which basics are worth getting clear on before trading crypto and USDT-margined futures. Each guide cites the exchanges' own documentation.
Whether or not you use TonyTrade, these things directly affect your account security and how much you can lose.
Safe API key permissions on Binance, OKX and Bitget
Read, trade and withdrawal permissions on each exchange, whether to bind an IP whitelist, how to use sub-accounts, and what to do if a key leaks.
StopsWhy stop-losses should sit on the exchange
Local stops versus exchange conditional orders, and whether your position is still protected when the network drops, the computer shuts down or the app crashes.
WicksWicks: what they are and how to handle them
What causes wicks, mark price versus last price, which one should trigger your stop, and how leverage and size limit the damage.
How these guides relate to TonyTrade
TonyTrade is built on these basics: keys without withdrawal permission (API key setup), a stop on the exchange for every position (Safety design), and a choice of trigger price for futures stops (Exchanges and markets).
