Market Keys
Connect exchange accounts and assign market keys to organization deployments
Market Keys (Organization Deployments)
A market key is the exchange/broker API credential your organization connects to Finterion. Organization deployments trade through a market key instead of an investor's own connection, so the algorithm can run with the organization's own capital (house capital, demo instances, and similar).
Where to find your organization's market keys
Open Developer Dashboard → your organization → Markets to see every exchange connected to the organization, its status, and how many portfolios use it.
This is the same underlying connection type investors manage from their own Dashboard → Markets page — the only difference is whose account it belongs to.
Adding a market key
- From Developer Dashboard → your organization → Markets, select Add exchange.
- Pick the exchange from the list.
- Name the connection so it's easy to recognize later (for example, "Binance — house capital").
- Enter the credentials the exchange gives you (API key/secret, or API key name + EC private key for Coinbase).
- Select Test connection — this must succeed before the key can be saved.
- Select Add exchange to save the market key.
Setting up your API key correctly
- Grant the right permissions. Enable read and trade access on the key; leave withdrawal permissions off — Finterion never needs them.
- Don't restrict by IP address. Leave IP whitelisting off if your exchange offers it. Finterion doesn't connect from a single fixed IP, so whitelisting will block the connection rather than protect it.
Assigning a market key to a deployment
Market keys become useful once they're attached to an organization deployment:
- Open your algorithm's Deployment tab, then the Organization view.
- Select New deployment (or edit an existing one).
- In the Market key field, pick the connection this deployment should trade through, or leave it as No market key if the deployment doesn't need one yet.
- Save the deployment. You can change the assigned market key later from the same edit dialog at any time.
