STEP 01

Register your account

Head to liquidedgets.com or liquidedge.network. Click Log in in the top right, then Register now, and fill in your details.

i
Gmail is preferred. Confirmation codes land most reliably on Gmail — other providers work, but occasionally delay or filter the email into spam.
🔗
Alternative sign-up: Onchain-focused users can also register by connecting a wallet directly instead of using email/password.

Check your inbox for the confirmation email and verify your account.

Once verified, log back in to the platform to confirm your account is active. You should land on the Liquid Edge dashboard. If you can see the sidebar with Billing, Exchange APIs, and Trading Terminal options, you're good to proceed.

STEP 02

Activate Elite tier

In the left sidebar, click Billing → select the Elite tier → click Use Test Card.

Elite access is free during closed alpha. The test card button activates your tier instantly with no real payment method required.

STEP 03

Create crypto exchange account

✓
Already have a crypto exchange account? If you have an existing account on a supported exchange, skip to Step 4 and connect it directly.

Liquid Edge currently supports multiple exchanges. We recommend:

More exchanges will be added shortly.

STEP 04

Connect exchange to Liquid Edge

In the Liquid Edge dashboard, open Exchange APIs in the left sidebar → click Add New Exchange → select your exchange.

You'll see a referral confirmation prompt. Click "Yes, I've completed the referral process" and enter the email you used on the exchange you selected. The next screen prompts you to paste your API keys — create them in the next step.

STEP 05

Generate/grab API keys on the exchange

In your exchange account, navigate to the API settings section. Most exchanges have a similar layout — look for API Management, API Settings, or API Keys in your account settings. Fill out the form:

Permissions
Read + Trade
Never enable Withdraw
Bind IP Address
— empty —
Leave blank
Security Verification
2FA + Email
Complete both
⚠
Never enable Withdraw permissions. Liquid Edge does not need and will never request withdrawal access. If any tool asks you to enable withdrawals, that's a red flag — stop and verify you're on the right platform.

Bitunix will display your API Key and Secret Key one time.

!
Copy both keys immediately. The Secret Key is shown only once. If you close the window, you'll need to regenerate the key pair.
STEP 06

Paste API keys and activate

Return to Liquid Edge's exchange connection form and paste your API Key and Secret Key into their respective fields, then click Save Credentials.

Connection status will show Pending for 5–15 minutes while our system verifies access. Once verified, it updates to Active.

i
Feel free to close the tab while you wait. Activation continues in the background — no need to watch it load.
STEP 07

Launch your first bot

Open Trading Terminal in the sidebar → toggle Paper Trading mode ON → click Create New Bot. We recommend this configuration for your first run:

Trading Pair
BTC/USDT
Deepest liquidity, cleanest signals
Risk Level
Aggressive
See meaningful activity during testing

Finalize your configuration and click Create Bot. Your bot is now live and scanning markets.

After Setup
Monitoring

Watch patiently

Most strategies wait for specific setups. Seeing zero trades in the first hour is normal — the bot is being disciplined, not broken. Check logs in the Trading Terminal for live status.

Pausing

Stop anytime

Open the bot's settings panel to pause or fully stop a bot. No positions are forced — you retain control at all times.

Going Live

Start small

Once you've observed your paper bot for a few days, disable Paper Trading and start with $100–$500. Monitor actively for the first 24–48 hours before scaling.
