Exchanges
Your exchange stays your exchange.
Turtle Terminal connects to the exchange account you already have. It places orders, reads balances and fills, and nothing else. API keys are stored encrypted and can be revoked at the exchange at any time.
Exchanges with order placement
Each exchange connects with your own API keys, validated with one account call and stored in an encrypted vault. No credentials pass through us and there is no aggregator in the middle.

What to know
Spot pairs on every exchange; margin on Kraken and Binance. Derivatives (futures, perpetuals and options) are not supported.
Live trading is switched on per account and only after you acknowledge what Turtle Terminal is and is not.
Disconnecting removes the keys. Nothing at your exchange changes.
Exchange names identify the venues we can connect to and imply no endorsement by them.
Connect in the terminal, after the training account.
14 days free. No card. A training account with a month of history is included, so the first screen you see is a journal, not an empty one.
