Pump and Dump with KuCoin on AltPump.io

Updated May. 28, 2023

How To Pump and Dump on KuCoin using AltPump.io.

Specifically, I will be teaching you how to connect your exchange to AltPump.io safely and securely.

Shall we get started?

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you should have the following done first:

I'll be using The Web app By KuCoin in this example, however you could use their mobile app, it's all the same!

Kucoin Dashboard

Sub-Accounts: Optional (But Recommended)

Some exchanges like KuCoin have a special feature where you can create an account within your main account.

Consider it a smaller box inside of a bigger box kind of thing, and the inner-box can't see anything out of it's scope (EG Main Account Data). while the outer-box can see all of it's contents.

AltPump absolutely recommends you take the extra steps and create a sub-account because:

WARNING

You might accidentally create an API against your main account. Please follow along to ensure this does not happen to you!

You need to navigate to "Sub-Account". You can find it around the top-right of your screen. You'll see a circle with a number in the middle (22).

KuCoin Account dropdown options looking for Sub-Account

You should see a page that looks like below:

KuCoin Sub-Account Page

I've already created a sub-account so that's why you see one in the picture above. For you, it should be empty, and I'm going to walk you through creating one.

Click the "Create Sub-Account" to get started.

Simply fill in the appropriate details and hit the "Save" button.

And that's it! You've created a sub-account.

Next, I'll show you how to transfer funds over.

KuCoin Account dropdown options looking for Sub-Account

Go ahead and click the Transfer link on the far right, shown in the image below:

KuCoin Account Sub Account created

A Modal will appear with a few input fields to complete. Let's take a look:

The very first two fields are select boxes and they are the fund sources. Left most side is the From account and the right most side is the To account.

In each account there's usually 3 wallets. Main Account, Trading Account & Margin Account.

KuCoin only trades with what's in the Trade Account wallet. So make sure you send your funds to your Sub-Account:Trading-Account wallet.

Boom! Easy as that. As you can see the Sub-Account has the 12$ in. Now, let's connect to AltPump.io.

KuCoin: Create Your API Keys

KYC MAY BE REQUIRED

KuCoin may have rate limiting in place for unverified accounts. Know Your Customer is simply providing your ID to KuCoin so they can meet Gov. regulations.

First we'll need to establish whether you're using a Sub-Account or not. Since AltPump recommends this method, we'll explain it first.

Sub-Account API (Recommended)

From your dashboard, you'll need to find "Sub-Account", found on the top-right of your screen under the circle with a number in the middle (22).

Click on "Sub-Account". Although "API Management" is clearly visible, this will create an API against your Main Account!

KuCoin Account dropdown options

Not far now! As the image below shows, you'll see your Sub-Accounts dashboard. Simply click "View" highlighted below.

KuCoin Account Sub Account API

You'll be taken to a page where you can create your Sub-Account API credentials. Click "Create API" under "Spot/Margin API".

KuCoin Account Sub Account API Create

You'll be taken to a page like below:

KuCoin Account Sub Account Enter API Info

Fill in all the appropriate fields and please ensure you mark Trade as Checked! Without this feature, AltPump will not be able to place trades for you.

Keep IP restriction to No, AltPump does not intend to reveal IP address's of our operation servers. AltPump takes great care looking after your Keys.

Once you've filled in the form, hit the "Next" button to continue.

You'll need to confirm your action with 2FA. So go ahead and verify yourself and then click the "Confirm" button.

KuCoin Account dropdown options

And there you have it! You should now see your API Key/Secret. Please make a note of this, you're ready to connect to AltPump.io.

KuCoin Sub Account API Credentials Display

You can copy each Key part by clicking the box-icon on the right where the arrows are pointing.

Remember, you must make a note of your keys because:

KuCoin Sub Account API Dashboard

Once you close the API display page, the secret key will not be for display again. Meaning if you didn't make note of those keys, you'll have to delete what you've just created and start over.

Great, you're done! Now let's talk about how to connect via your Main Account.

Main Account API

Next, you'll need to find "API Management". You can find it around the top-right of your screen, just like previously.

KuCoin Show API Management

Since this is your first time creating an API Key, KuCoin should present you with something similar:

KuCoin Account create API

Click "Create API" and then you'll be able to start the API creation process.

KuCoin Account create API

The Green bordered box is what you should mark Checked. Without this, AltPump will not be able to place trades for you.

The Transfer checkbox must remain Unchecked to disable withdrawals!

When yours looks similar to above, hit the "Next" button to continue.

Finally, you'll need to verify you want to perform this action by completing 2FA.

KuCoin Complete 2FA

Once verified, your keys will be revealed to you like below:

KuCoin Main API Credentials

You must make a note of your API Credentials because once you close this page, the Secret key will never be revealed to you again. You'd have to create a new API if you lose it.

KuCoin Main API List

You're done! Let's connect to AltPump.io.

AltPump: Link Your KuCoin Account

Now that you have your Non-withdrawable API credentials, it's time to let AltPump do some magic.

Head over to your Dashboard and crank open the Exchanges Modal. You can find this a few ways.

Troubleshooting

If you have an error similar to the image below, then it may be the case you haven't set your Permission correctly. Remember, you need to allow "Trade" so that AltPump can place trades for you.
