Could not connect
This venue is not ready to connect yet, so the form is disabled rather than taking a key it cannot use. Nothing has been stored. Your password has been cleared and must be entered again — we do not send a secret back to your browser.
⚠ This stores a secret
It is encrypted before it reaches the database and never appears in a response or a log. It is still worth knowing: issue a key with trading and withdrawal disabled, and revoke it at the venue if you ever stop using this.
The credential is checked against the venue before it is stored. If it turns out to allow trading or withdrawal, the connection is refused and nothing is saved.

Worth knowing about IG Markets
  • IG's API authenticates with your username and password, so unlike an exchange key there is no read-only scope to pick. This is IG's design, not ours. If that is not acceptable, the CSV import gives you the same journal without a credential.
  • Demo and live keys are separate and not interchangeable.
Exchanges move these settings without warning. If what you see does not match, IG Labs ↗ is the authority — and nothing here ever asks you to enable trading or withdrawal.
