Connect Toobit
Connecting your Toobit account to Altrady takes just a few minutes. You’ll create an API key on Toobit (a special access code that lets Altrady see your balances and place trades), then paste that key into Altrady.
A quick reassurance before you start: Altrady never needs withdrawal permission. You should never enable withdrawal access on any API key you create for Altrady, on Toobit or any other exchange.
If anything doesn’t match what you see on screen, exchanges update their layouts from time to time; see Connection Problems or reach out and we’ll help.
For background on what API keys are and why they’re safe to use this way, see API Keys Explained.

- In the Trading widget, your leveraged available balance for long and short positions is shown at the top. Toobit only offers Hedge mode, so there’s no option to switch to one-way mode. Your wallet balance for the contract’s quote currency is shown at the bottom. If it looks out of date, click the Resync arrow (top right) to force an update from the exchange.

A few things to know about trading on Toobit
- Closing a manual position with an open exit order: unlike some exchanges, Toobit doesn’t allow orders to be overwritten. If a manual position has an open exit order, you’ll need to delete that order manually before you can close the position, otherwise Toobit will reject the close order. This doesn’t apply to smart orders or smart positions.
- Changing margin mode on an open position: Toobit won’t let you change margin mode while a position is running. You’ll see an error message from Toobit if you try.
- Reducing leverage on an open position (Isolated Margin mode): Toobit doesn’t support lowering leverage on an open Isolated Margin position. You can increase leverage, but once you have, it can’t be decreased again for that position.
