Portal controls every trader should know
A good portal exposes key security controls prominently: 2FA status, device list, active sessions, API tokens, and withdrawal protections. These controls let you manage risk in real time without digging through obscure settings.
Session & device management
Review active sessions periodically. Each session should show a device name, approximate location/IP, and last active time. Revoke any you do not recognize and change your password immediately if suspicious activity is found.
Notification & alerting
Enable email and push alerts for new logins, password changes, withdrawals, and API key creation. Fast alerts are often the difference between stopping a theft and losing funds.
API & integrations
If you use API keys, grant minimal permissions and regularly rotate keys. Restrict IP addresses where supported and monitor API activity logs for unexpected behavior.
