From the dropdown menu, select "Profile".

Switch to the tab called "API keys". 

Click "Create API".

In the "Permissions'' section enable the "Trading" permission.

Once it's all set, click on "Next". 

Confirm the creation of the API key with a 6-digit code sent to your email.  
Press "Submit"

Copy and save your API and Secret keys.

Now you’re ready to add these keys into TabTrader. 

Keep your API keys safe and never share them with anyone.
