1. Give your API Key a name. It can be anything, but we recommend to name it according to where you are trading for ease of mind.
2. Paste your API Key
3. Paste your API Secret
4. *(If required)* Type in your passphrase

Once complete, your exchange connection(s) should look like this:

At this point you're good to go! **Launch the terminal and happy trading!**
