Create your API keys — OKX

Create the trade-only API key that connects your OKX sub-account to Alpha Pro.

Alpha Pro connects to OKX through a trade-only API key. Create the key inside your dedicated space (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

  1. In your OKX account, go to the API management page and click Create API key.
  2. Fill out the form:
  • API Key Name — e.g. "Alpha Pro".
  • PurposeAPI Trading.
  • Account → your dedicated sub-account.
  • Permissions → enable Trade.
  • Create a secure Passphrase and save it — you'll enter it in the Sequence wizard along with the key. Neither OKX nor Sequence can recover a lost passphrase; you'd need a new key.

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.

Step 3 — Confirm and save your key

  1. Complete the 2FA verification and click Confirm. In the modal, click Show Info.
Confirm and Show Info
  1. Copy your API Key and API Secret before leaving the screen.
Copy the API Key and Secret

Important: save the API Key, Secret AND Passphrase now — the secret and passphrase are not shown again.

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.
