Giving a Bot Your API Key: What Each Permission Switch Actually Opens

by
Cover image for a guide to exchange API key permissions. Under the line that an API key is not a password but three switches, three toggle cards show reading switched on for balances and history, trading switched off because it spends your balance, and withdrawals switched off because it sends assets out of the account, with a closing line explaining that the size of a bad day is decided at this screen in about four seconds and that the exchange decides part of it before you do - Cryptonakta

Giving a Bot Your API Key: What Each Permission Switch Actually Opens An API key is a bundle of switches rather than a password. The dangerous ones are gated on whether you pinned an address, and the exchange checks that first. Built from exchange documentation read directly, checked September 2026 The short version Question Short … Read more

2FA Reset on a Crypto Exchange: Lost Authenticator, Identity Review, Withdrawal Hold, TOTP Clock, Account Takeover

by
Cover image for a guide to losing two-factor authentication on a crypto exchange. The headline states that your coins are still in the account and that what is locked is the way out. Three cards below sort the situation: one marked as still working reads login and trading, with balances, orders and settings staying open; one marked as locked reads withdrawals, including transfers, card spending and peer to peer selling; and one marked as the cost reads time rather than money, being a review followed by a fixed hold. A wide panel underneath states that a password is restored by email while a second factor is restored by identity. Lines at the foot say the article covers why the hold exists, what to do inside it, and the one case where filing a reset is the wrong first move - Cryptonakta

2FA Reset on a Crypto Exchange: Lost Authenticator, Identity Review, Withdrawal Hold, TOTP Clock, Account Takeover Lose the authenticator and the coins stay in the account. A password is restored by email and a second factor by identity, and the withdrawal hold that follows is not a punishment, it is the control that stops whoever … Read more

Two Numbers Decide Your Gas Fee, and Neither One Is the Amount You Send

by
Cover image for a guide to crypto network fees and gas. The headline states that a fee buys a place inside a block rather than the delivery of the coins. A wide blue panel shows the calculation as 21,000 multiplied by the sum of the base fee and the priority fee, giving what the sender pays. Three cards below separate the inputs from the value people wrongly expect: the first two are marked as inputs and read units of work, meaning what the transaction does, and price per unit, set by how full the last block was, while the third is marked as excluded and reads that the amount you send never enters the calculation. Lines at the foot say the article explains why a failed transaction is still charged and why the same transfer costs four different things on four chains - Cryptonakta

Two Numbers Decide Your Gas Fee, and Neither One Is the Amount You Send A network fee buys space inside a block. Here is the arithmetic that sets the price, and why a failed transaction is still charged for it. Written from primary protocol and exchange documentation, checked 3 September 2026 The short version Question … Read more

How to Read an Order Book: Depth, Spread and Slippage Explained

by
Cover image for a guide to order books, market depth and slippage on crypto exchanges. On the right two miniature order books stand side by side under the heading that the same order meets two different books: in the first, thick bars of resting quantity mean only one line is touched and the average price barely moves, while in the second, thin bars mean five lines are eaten and the average lands far away. On the left two cards separate the three costs of a trade, noting that the fee is printed on the order ticket before the trade is confirmed while the spread and the slippage are not, one being read off the book and the other discovered afterwards. The headline reads that the screen shows the last completed trade and that what is left resting decides the price a buyer actually gets, with lines below explaining that the article shows why the same amount of money can cost a hundred times more on one coin than on another, measured on live order books - Cryptonakta

How to Read an Order Book: Depth, Spread and Slippage Explained We read public order books line by line and added up the sell orders from the cheapest price upward. The coin decided the difference.

You set a stop loss, it triggered, and nothing was sold

by
Cover image for a guide to stop loss orders on crypto exchanges. On the right a price line falls through a dashed horizontal line labelled as the trigger price that the trader sets, and a marked point well below it is labelled as the place the order was actually filled, with a note that the order book decided that second price. A further dashed line underneath carries the caption that in the other case nothing filled at all and the order is still sitting there. On the left two cards describe the two ways the same order fails, firing and filling far below the number that was set, or firing and never filling while the position stays open. The headline reads that the number typed into a stop order is a condition and not the price at which anything is sold, with lines below introducing the trigger price, the order price and the fill price and who decides each, and noting that a liquidation can arrive before the stop does - Cryptonakta

You set a stop loss, it triggered, and nothing was sold The number you type into a stop order is a condition for sending an order. The price you receive is decided somewhere else. Updated August 2026 The short version The question people arrive with What actually decides it Did my stop fire? The reference … Read more
