For power users
It is possible to use a master/slave API key, this allows you to use a different api key for trading than the registered (master) key.
You can enter the master/slave keys in config.js directly, or using the code editor in Gunbot.
Market selection#
Some exchanges require specifying a market type, you can only run pairs of that specific market type (futures, for example) in the same bot instance.
