Bitcoin QT manual
Once you click 'Create Key, ' a pair of new keys will be generated with two tick boxes next to them: 'info' and 'trade'-- you're going to want to click both, then click save.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
Never give out your API keys, if you ever accidentally give them to someone, or put them into a program that may seem questionable, delete the keys immediately from the exchange website by clicking 'Disable'. This includes pastebin, etc.
After you've generated your API keys go back to Qt Bitcoin Trader and copy and paste them into the 'Key' and 'Secret' fields. Then just punch in any old password (and write it down) and a name for your profile. Note that your profile name and password should not be the same as your BTC-e account information. After you've put in all the required information just click 'OK' and you're ready to go!
Now log into Qt Bitcoin Trader with the password you've just created and you should be ready to start trading!
Getting to Know the Platform
For this article, we'll be starting with the features in the top left of the window and working our way all the way to the right of the column, then starting to the far left of the next column (like you would read a book).
BTC-e Account
'BTC-e Account' just tells you that the exchange this profile trades on is BTC-e, the 'Fee' column below that tells you the fee on the exchange you're trading on, but the 'Symbol' drop-down menu is another thing that makes Qt Bitcoin Trader awesome!
Qt Bitcoin Trader can trade on all pairs on the exchange, that's right, the search is over--every pair! Even better you can leave open orders on multiple pairs! So say you want to sell some Bitcoin for 50 dollars, but at the same time buy some Litecoin for $20, well you can have open orders on both pairs as the same time, and there is no limit to how many pairs you can have orders open for.
Balance
Ehem, excuse my balance I, uhm, mostly trade on Bitfinex these days. Anyway this is pretty straight forward: 'Balance' displays your balance for the two relevant currencies you're trading on. So on the BTC/USD pair you will see your Bitcoin balance on top and your USD balance on the bottom, or for the XPM/BTC pair you would see XPM on the top and BTC on the bottom. The two little audio buttons next to your balances are toggles for audio alerts. If you have these on, whenever you're balance for the currency you turned it on for changes you'll hear a little noise.
