Trading API go-live checklist

We don't have a fully working sandbox yet, so every order and transfer you execute against api.truemarkets.co moves real funds. Keep your first trades small. A real trade also proves the whole flow end to end. Work through this checklist before you raise the amounts.

Checklist​

  • Your API key file is out of your repo and out of chat tools. Anyone with it can act as you. If it leaks, revoke it at app.truemarkets.co and create a new one.
  • One wallet holds a small amount of the stablecoin you trade with.
  • You placed one small market buy, then sold it back with side: "sell" and qty_unit: "base".
  • You handle 422 with quote_stale by placing the order again.
  • You mint a fresh token before expires_in passes, or refresh it.
  • You read your transactions after each trade and find the fill.

Errors lists every status and which ones to retry.
