Alpha Pro connects to Coinbase through a trade-only API key, scoped to your dedicated portfolio (guide: Create your trading subaccount).
WARNING: Never enable Withdrawal permissions on your API key. Alpha Pro only ever needs to read and trade — nothing else.
Step 1 — Create the key
Coinbase manages API keys through its Developer Platform. Follow the official Coinbase Advanced Trade API documentation to create a key with:
- View and Trade permissions only — never Transfer.
- The key scoped to your dedicated portfolio.
Step 2 — Add the IP whitelist
In the IP restriction section, add these addresses — comma-separated, without spaces:
35.208.74.51,35.223.192.192,34.66.216.238,34.124.198.188,34.44.217.135
Note: these IPs authorize Alpha Pro to trade on your behalf while blocking anyone else — and an IP-bound key never expires.
What's next
With your key created, return to the setup guide and enter it in the Sequence wizard: How to get started and set up Alpha Pro.
