A practical preparation guide
This page takes you from a first enquiry to a careful review of an account and its settings. After completing the steps, you should know who provides the service, how to protect access, which market information you want to follow and where to find the records of activity.
Westrelaine’s public website provides information and a registration request. Trading, exchange connections and custody arrangements belong to the service named in your account agreement. Screens and features may differ between providers, so use this guide alongside the actual dashboard instructions rather than treating it as a description of every account.
Do not rush activation because a market is moving. First confirm eligibility in your country, review the fee schedule and identify the official support route. If a requested permission or payment is unclear, ask for a written explanation before proceeding.
A careful start
Step 1: register and secure your account
Enter your first name, last name, email address and telephone number in the registration form. Use details you can access reliably, since the team may need to confirm an enquiry or contact you about the next steps. Submitting the form does not place a trade or oblige you to deposit money.
When an actual service account is created, choose a unique password that you do not use for email, banking or another exchange. A password manager can help generate and store it. Secure the email account too, because password reset messages and service notifications often arrive there.
Enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication wherever the provider supports it. An authenticator app, security key or another supported method adds a separate check at login. Save recovery information securely and find out how recovery works before losing a device. Neither a manager nor support should need your password or one-time code.
- Check the domain and sender before opening an activation link.
- Review the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy before submitting details.
- Provide documents only through the provider’s identified secure channel.
- Confirm the legal entity and account terms before transferring money.
A careful start
Step 2: connect an exchange only when needed
Some analysis or automation services connect to a crypto exchange through an API. An API key is a credential that gives software defined permissions; it is not your normal login password. A connection may be unnecessary if you only want to read educational material or use the website’s scenario calculator.
If a connection is available in your service, create a dedicated key in the exchange’s official settings and check each permission. Begin with read-only access for balances or market monitoring. Enable trading only when you understand which actions the tool can submit and the limits you have configured. Withdrawal permissions are not needed for ordinary monitoring or order analysis.
Use an IP allowlist where supported, keep the secret out of messages and screenshots, and revoke the key when the integration is no longer needed. Test the connection and review the account shown in the dashboard. A successful connection does not prove that every function or market is supported.
| Permission | Typical purpose | Before enabling |
|---|---|---|
| Read | View balances, market data or history | Check exactly which information is shared. |
| Trade | Submit or cancel supported orders | Confirm strategy limits and pause behaviour. |
| Withdraw | Move assets out of an account | Do not enable for monitoring or normal analysis. |
A careful start
Step 3: set up analysis and monitoring
Choose the trading pairs that matter to you, checking the base asset and quote currency. BTC/USD and BTC/CAD describe different quotes, and a displayed change may reflect both asset and currency movements. Start with a small watchlist so that you can understand each chart and alert.
Set conditions deliberately. A price threshold, a percentage move over a period and an increase in volume answer different questions. Review the source, update frequency and time zone of the data. An analytical signal is information to investigate, rather than an instruction to buy or sell.
Select the notification channels actually available in the service and test delivery. Check spam filters and device permissions if a notification is missing. Alerts can be delayed by a network problem or market data interruption, so do not rely on a single message as the only protection for an open position.
Define the condition
Use a threshold and time frame you can explain in your own words.
Test the notification
Check that an expected alert reaches the selected channel.
A careful start
Step 4: review the dashboard and manage settings
Use the dashboard to understand the difference between a balance, an open order and an open position. Money reserved by an order may not be available for another trade or an immediate withdrawal. A position can remain exposed to the market even after a strategy is paused.
Review activity in the connected exchange as well as the analysis service. Compare order identifiers, timestamps, sizes, fees and execution prices. If the two records do not agree, avoid repeatedly submitting the same instruction; check whether the first request completed before trying again.
Make configuration changes one at a time and record why you changed them. Confirm whether a new setting affects future orders, existing orders or both. Learn how to pause automation, revoke a connection and contact the provider. If you cannot explain what an active function does, leave it disabled until you receive a clear explanation.
- Check total exposure across pairs and accounts.
- Review realised and unrealised results separately.
- Include commissions and conversion costs in a performance review.
- Inspect sessions, API connections and recent settings changes.
A careful start
Before enabling live activity
A simulator is useful for exploring assumptions and controls, but it does not reproduce every live market condition. Real execution includes changing liquidity, slippage, rejected orders, outages and fees. A simulated outcome should never be treated as a forecast or a promise that a strategy will work.
Decide on an allocation whose loss would not prevent you from meeting essential expenses. Understand leverage before using it and do not assume a stop order guarantees the maximum loss. Review how funds are held and how the named provider handles withdrawals, verification and complaints.
You remain responsible for deciding whether an asset or strategy is appropriate. Support can explain the interface and documentation, but that does not make the assistance regulated investment advice. Take time to understand the agreement and ask an appropriately authorised adviser if you need a personalised recommendation.

Continue with basic terminology, then review risk, security and costs together. The funding page explains payment routes, while the provider’s account terms remain the source for the methods and limits actually available to you.
