Adding a Bitstamp Connection

To add a Bitstamp connection:

1. Click Connections in the left navigation panel.

2. Click +New Connection

3. Configure the settings in the General Settings section:
   

   

   • Connection Enabled: Check this setting to activate the connection. Uncheck to deactivate the connection.
   • Delete All Associated Orders in TT
   • Name: This is a required field for creating a connection.
   • Exchange: Select Bitstamp. Only one exchange is allowed per connection.
   • Type: Define the connection as a SPOT or a Perpetual. Note: SPOT perpetual can only trade SPOT products. If a trader intends to trade both SPOT and Perpetuals, they need to create two connections.

4. Configure the settings in the Additional Settings section.

   

   Configure the following Bitstamp settings per connection:

   • Sender Comp ID – Identifies the name of your firm in FIX Tag 49 in all outbound messages sent via the connection. This is an exchange-provided credential that is required for connecting the session. This is a required setting.
   • Username – Sets the exchange-provided session ID username for connecting to the exchange. Sent to the exchange as Tag 553. This is a required setting.
   • Password – Sets the exchange-provided session ID password for connecting to the exchange. Sent to the exchange as Tag 554. This is a required setting.
   • Sender Sub ID – Assigned value used to identify specific message originator (e.g. desk, trader, etc.)
   • Max Order Rate (orders/sec) – (Optional) Sets the maximum number of orders per second that a user can enter per connection. This limit cannot exceed the exchange-defined order rate maximum.
   • Contact Email – Optionally, add a best contact email that TT can use to contact your firm if needed.

5. Click Create. You can select the connection in the data grid and review the connection settings in the Settings tab.

6. Click the Accounts tab to assign an existing account to the connection. Multiple accounts can be added to a single connection.

   Note: The connection will not become active until at least one account is assigned.
