Alpha Pro connects to Kucoin 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
Follow the official Kucoin guide on creating API keys, with these settings:
- API Name — e.g. "Alpha Pro".
- Passphrase — set a secure one and save it; you'll enter it in the Sequence wizard along with the key.
- API Restrictions — check Trade only.
- IP Restrictions — restrict the key to trusted IPs, and paste the whitelist below.
- Period of Validity — Permanent.
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
Complete the captcha and 2FA, open the confirmation email and click Activate API, then copy your API Key, Secret, and Passphrase to a secure place.
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.
