We walk through connecting an API key, how a bot's deal flows, and using the Trading screen — in that order. Steps that move real money, such as transfers and orders, carry their own warnings.
Your funds stay in your exchange account, not with JD-Quant. JD-Quant uses the API key you register to read balances and request orders.
Balances and positions live under the exchange account you connect. JD-Quant never custodies your coins.
Within the permissions you grant, we ask the exchange to read balances, place orders and move funds inside your account.
Switching keys, transfers, starting a bot and manual orders all pass through a confirmation dialog or order screen.
Running a bot and trading manually on the same exchange account means orders, positions and margin affect each other. JD-Quant supports up to two API keys on different exchange accounts so you can keep them apart.
Create an API key on the exchange account you want to use and register it. A single API key unlocks every feature.
Save the key and secret, finish the connection check, then confirm your futures account and available USDT.
To separate bot and manual trading, add an API key from a different exchange account. It is optional, but it reduces the chance of the two interfering.
Activate one of your registered keys as the default for Dashboard, Trading and Wallet.
It waits for a signal, places the first order, uses safety orders to adjust the average if price moves against it, and closes the deal at take-profit.
Check the price of the next fill and how many safety orders remain.
See how the average and take-profit levels moved after a safety order filled.
Check first whether the gap between the current and liquidation price is narrowing.
See two ways to set an order price from the chart, plus how to change the account the UI uses.
Set a price or a range directly on the chart and order from there.
Hold Shift and click a price on the chart. That price fills the order ticket. Check the size and margin, then choose LONG or SHORT.

A click alone never sends an order
Hold Shift and drag from the start price to the end price. Change the number of orders and the size distribution in the card on the right.

Press the active button in your profile and compare the current and new UID. Only the displayed balance and the Wallet default change — running bots keep their original key.

Compare the current and new account
The UI default account and bot execution account are managed separately.
Check the current and target UID before switching. In-flight requests keep the key they started with.
The active key is the default, but you can choose between the bot key and the trading key before the transfer runs.
Auto-payment does not follow the active key — it is pinned to the API key you chose when setting it up.
Checking connection status, futures balance, active UID and required fields — in that order — resolves most problems quickly.
When all five below are true, go from API management to Bot Setup.
