Step 3: Set Permissions

Set the following permissions:

  • Enable:

    • Read

    • Trade (required to place orders)

  5. Paste your API Key and Secret

  6. Name your connection (e.g., “Bitget – WickHunter”)

Done!

You’ve successfully connected your Bitget account to Wick Hunter. You can now begin automating trades, managing bots, and maximizing your strategy.
