Installation and Quick Start
This section will help you prepare the terminal for work in just a few minutes while ensuring the highest level of security for your data.
Download and System Requirements
Secret Terminal is a desktop application optimized for Windows. Thanks to its efficient code, the terminal provides high-speed data transmission even on mid-range computers. More detailed information about system requirements is described in this article↗.
Download instructions:
- Go to the official website: https://secret-terminal.com/
- Click “Download for Windows 64-bit” or choose the format suitable for your computer
- Wait for the installation file to finish downloading.
Installing the Terminal
The installation process is as simple and automated as possible:
- Run the downloaded file, for example SecretTerminal_Setup.exe.
- If Windows Security asks for confirmation, click “More info” → “Run anyway”
- Follow the installation wizard instructions. The process will take only a couple of minutes.
Security
The security of your funds and data is our absolute priority. The platform architecture eliminates risks related to external storage of confidential information.
- Local storage: Your API keys and secret data are stored exclusively on your device. They are never transferred to third-party servers and are not stored in the cloud.
- Direct connection: The terminal connects directly to exchange servers, eliminating the risk of data interception by intermediate nodes.
- Data encryption: The profile file containing all settings and keys is protected by modern encryption algorithms.
Connecting to Exchanges via API
To start trading, you need to connect the terminal to your exchange account. Thanks to the local storage policy, your workspace will be accessible only to you.
How to connect:
- Go to “Settings” → “Trading Connections”.
- Select the exchange you want to connect → enter your API Key and Secret Key obtained in the exchange account dashboard → click “Save”.
- A “Accounts” section will appear below, containing the main information about the API key connection. If the indicator next to the account name turns green, the connection has been successfully established.
Note:
Each terminal update undergoes an integrity check, ensuring stable and secure operation of the entire system. More detailed information about connecting a trading exchange is described in this article↗.
Ping and Stable Connection via Proxy
For a trader, data delivery speed is a critical factor. If you experience delays, meaning high ping, or an unstable connection from the exchange side, Secret Terminal provides the option to work through a proxy server.
Why is this needed?
- Lower ping: using a proxy physically located closer to the exchange servers, for example in Tokyo for Binance.
- Stability: bypassing local provider or network node restrictions.
How to configure it:
- Go to “General Settings” → “Trading Connections” tab → in the “Accounts” section, click the gear icon “Connection Settings”.
- In the “Proxy” block, fill in the two main fields:
- IP address: enter the address of your proxy server.
- Port: specify the corresponding port.
- Click “Save”.
Note:
If your proxy requires login and password authorization, configure it in third-party software that creates the connection on your PC.
💡 Tip: After setup, check the ping value in the bottom panel of the terminal. If the numbers have decreased and the “spikes” have disappeared, the connection is optimized.
