Connecting your exchange account to the Dominion Peak platform via API allows the bots to execute trades automatically while maintaining the highest standards of security and transparency. This step-by-step guide will help you integrate your account securely and efficiently.
🔐 Why Use API Integration?
- Automated Trading: Enables Dominion Peak bots to place trades on your behalf.
- Real-Time Data Access: Access market data instantly without delays.
- No Withdrawal Rights: Your funds remain secure — bots can only trade, not withdraw.
Note: Dominion Peak supports major exchanges such as Binance, Kraken, Coinbase Pro, Bybit, and KuCoin.
