🔑 How to Get Your API Key & Secret (3-Step Quickstart)
Follow these 3 simple steps to generate your 256-bit secure API key and start sending signals or fetching market data in under 10 seconds:
Navigate to Dashboard → ⚡ Middleware API in your ZenTrader account.
Enter a name for your bot/strategy and click "Issue Scoped API Key".
Copy your key (zt_live_sec_...) into your TradingView Alert Webhook or Python cURL header.
1. TradingView Webhook Signal Integration
Send trading signals directly from TradingView alerts, Python scripts, or MetaTrader. ZenTrader stages signals, runs them through EMA-200 trend filters and Kelly Sizing, and dispatches orders to Kraken Futures or Alpaca.
