Superalgos - Key Reference

Key Reference

The key reference is a reference to an exchange account key as defined in a specific user account, in a specific exchange, on the Crypto Ecosystem hierarchy.

Usually, exchanges require authentication via your exchange account key for monetary transactions only. However, some exchanges may require autentication in other contexts as well, for instance, to retrieve information above a certain quota, or to retrieve raw trades data instead of OHLCV data.

For those reasons, exchange key references are available both in the context of data mining and trading operations, and are always attached to the corresponding task.

Forward testing and live trading sessions always require setting up key references, as that is the kind of scenario in which the user must validate with the exchange.

In all cases, the key reference node must reference a valid exchange account key from an account with the exchange, as defined in the hierarchy.

Important: Most exchanges do not allow the same exchange account key to be used with multiple processes querying the exchange API. This means that if you are trading with multiple trading systems or multiple sessions on the same exchange, each session requires different exchange account keys.

Key Reference Menu

The Key Reference node has the following items:

The Delete menu item has the following properties:

action: Delete UI Object

actionProject: Visual-Scripting

askConfirmation: true

confirmationLabel: Confirm to Delete

label: Delete

iconPathOn: delete-entity

iconPathOff: delete-entity

actionFunction: payload.executeAction

Tip: When a menu item is grayed out, it means that Key Reference already has the required child type that the menu item may add, and only that child is allowed for that case.
