How to Connect CoinDCX Futures to AlgoPulse

CoinDCX Futures is one of the largest Indian-owned crypto derivatives exchanges. Here's how to wire up its API to AlgoPulse. For what runs once it is connected, see CoinDCX algo trading on AlgoPulse.

1. Generate the API key

1. Log in to coindcx.com → Settings → Access API
2. Click Create API Key. Name it 'AlgoPulse'.
3. Permissions: Read + Trade ON. Withdraw OFF.
4. IP whitelist: enter AlgoPulse IP if you want extra safety (see FAQ)
5. Save the API Key + API Secret. The Secret appears ONCE, copy it now.

2. Connect it in AlgoPulse

1. AlgoPulse → Brokers → Add Broker
2. Select CoinDCX
3. Nickname: 'coindcx-futures'
4. Paste API Key and Secret
5. Click Connect, AlgoPulse probes balance for confirmation

3. Minimum order sizes (important)

CoinDCX futures has a minimum contract size of $24 USDT notional. Your deploy config needs to produce at least that per trade. AlgoPulse validates this live in the deploy dialog.

Rough cheat sheet at 10x leverage and 10% position size:

• $50 investment → $50 notional → below min, won't deploy
• $250 investment → $250 notional → comfortable
• Or drop position size to 100% on $25 investment → $250 notional → works

Common errors you might hit

• 'Insufficient funds', your CoinDCX Futures wallet is empty. Transfer from spot to futures wallet inside CoinDCX first.
• 'Quantity should be divisible by 0.001', AlgoPulse auto-rounds, but if you see this the instrument step size is unusual. Switch pair or contact support.
• 'IP not allowed', you added an IP restriction without AlgoPulse's IP. Remove it or add the correct IP.

Next: pick a strategy

With the key connected, every strategy can trade on your CoinDCX futures wallet. See the strategies and how the free unlock works on the CoinDCX algo trading page.
