Add a trading venue

Before adding a venue to your Layer1 account, ensure you have obtained the corresponding API key and secret.

To add a trading venue, do the following:

1. Log in to the Layer1 Portal.

2. In the side menu, go to Integrations > Connected Providers , and click + Provider .

   

3. Select the required provider from the menu, then complete the following fields:

   • Display name:Enter the name you want to give this trading venue account on Layer1.
   • API Key:Enter the API key from the trading venue you're connecting.
   
   

   📘

   If the trading venue you wish to connect to does not appear in the supported providers list, reach out to your account executive for more information and a possible solution.

4. Select Add .

The new connection appears in the Connected Providers list. Note that it can take up to one business day to initialise your connection with your trading venue.

Configure trading symbols

To access market data and execute trades from your Layer 1 wallet, you must first configure the specific trading symbols, in which you're interested.

To enable symbols for trading, do the following:

1. Connect a trading venue by following the steps above.

2. Go to Trading > Venues and click Symbol Config.

3. Find your newly created connection in the list and click the Enabled toggle next to the symbols you want to enable for a venue.

   By default, all symbols for a venue account are disabled.

   

To turn off symbols for trading, click the Enabled toggle to the off position.

The changes may require up to 10 minutes to take effect.
