Step 1: Create a GSMG account

Register an account on www.gsmg.io and confirm via the link you receive per email.


Step 2: Create a Bittrex account if you do not have one

Start of by going to www.bittrex.com and click "Register" or click on the image here below, which will automatically take you there.

After registering and logging in to the site, you should see the following and please click on "Settings" to proceed

Under settings, go through the whole verification process and make sure you are successfully verified.

Next is setting up the 2FA(2 factor authentication), this is one of the most important parts of setting up your account properly. Not only since it is needed to create an API key needed for GSMG, but also making it so much more secure, than just using a password. 

For 2FA to work you will need an authenticator app. A commonly used one is the “Google Authenticator” app that you can download via the app-store or play store on your smartphone. 

2FA is also found under the settings tab as you can see in the screen below.

MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT THIS IS, THAT YOU NEED TO BACKUP THE SECRET KEY!! WHICH WILL ONLY BE SHOWN DURING ENABLING OF 2FA! YOU CAN PRINT THE PAGE TO PDF AND SAVE IT SOMEWHERE SECURE.

This covers the basic setup of your account, you can now deposit funds(BTC/ETH/USDT) to your Bittrex account and continue with step 3.


Step 3: Setting up API keys and connect your GSMG account to your Bittrex account

Again you need to be under the settings tab, and go to “API Keys”, click “Add New Key” and then use the OTP(One Time Password) generated by your authenticator app to confirm.

Also only turn on “Read Info” and “Trade Limit” for your API key as shown in the screen below. 

When you create your API key it will show you 2 keys, you need both of these for GSMG to connect.

Now login to the GSMG portal with your registered account and proceed to Menu and go to "Settings"

Here you fill in the 2 keys that are showing in your Bittrex account, that have just been created. Click "Update API settings" and you are finished with connecting your GSMG and Bittrex account.


Step 4: Selecting markets, set allocations and turn it on!

GSMG offers users to trade on all the pairs available on the Bittrex exchange. To set which pairs you want to trade on, open the Menu once more in your GSMG portal and click on Markets.

You can now pick the pairs you want to trade on, from the bottom part on screen being the "Available markets". When you enable them, by clicking on the check-mark in the column "Enable" on the right, they will show up in the top part of the screen, as being "Active markets"

Now you can set the desired allocation per market and also there are advanced features you can use per active market. 

More info on these advanced features can be found here

When you are done selecting your markets, setting the allocations and perhaps some advanced feature settings, you can move on to the Dashboard via the menu.

It is here where the final step remains and that is to turn on the "Trade engine".

If everything has been setup properly, you should see orders being created promptly in your Bittrex account.

That is it, you are now trading fully automated! If you have any problems or questions, please check out the rest of the "Help Center" and of course you are free to come find us on Slack and Telegram for additional support!
