Settings, keys and account

The settings page is your trust zone. It holds your profile and trading defaults, your Delta India API keys (the credentials that let Vecktor place orders for you), your security controls, your daily-loss circuit breaker, your alerts, and the buttons to export or delete everything. This guide walks through each card.

Set your profile and execution defaults

The Profile + execution defaults card holds who you are and the values that pre-fill the trade screens, so you do not retype them every time.

  1. Set your First name, Display name (the placeholder reads Shown in bot logs), and Phone (optional).
  2. Pick a Username. The field label is Username (3-24 chars, a-z 0-9 _ -). It must be unique, so a taken name shows an inline error.
  3. Choose your Timezone. Asia/Kolkata (IST) is the default.
  4. Under the Execution defaults heading (it reads pre-fill for /options + /futures), set Default symbol, Default leverage (the slider label reads Default leverage: N×, range 1 to 20), and Default mode (Paper, Testnet (demo), or Live).
  5. Click Save profile.
Paper means a practice run with zero risk. Testnet (demo) uses fake money on Delta's demo console. Live uses real money. The default mode only pre-selects the screens; it never places a trade on its own.

Connect Delta India (testnet first)

The Connect Delta India card is where you paste your API keys (the credentials that let Vecktor place orders on your behalf). Start in Testnet so you can practice with fake money before any real funds are involved. Vecktor never holds your money; the keys only place orders.

  1. Under Choose mode, pick a card: Testnet (demo) practices with fake money and is recommended first. Live (Delta India) uses real money.
  2. Step 1 (Create an API key on Delta India): click Open testnet console or Open Delta India console to create a new API key on Delta. Name it something clear like vecktor-testnet.
  3. Step 2 (Set permissions): on testnet the title reads tick Trading; on live it reads Trading checked, Withdraw not checked. Tick Trading and keep Withdraw disabled. Vecktor never withdraws. Click Done. Next.
  4. Step 3 (Whitelist Vecktor's IP): copy the vecktor outbound ip with the Copy button and add it to the key's whitelist on Delta. On live this is required, or Delta rejects every order with IP_NOT_WHITELISTED. Click Whitelisted. Next.
  5. Step 4 (Paste key and secret, validate): paste the API key and API secret, then click Save & validate. Vecktor tests the connection before saving, so a broken key is never stored.
Keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, decrypted only at the moment an order is sent, and never logged. Vecktor never custodies (holds) funds. We recommend keeping Withdraw disabled on any key you connect. To remove a saved key, use the Revoke button on that mode.

Acknowledge the live-trading risk

Before a live key (real money) can be saved, you must tick a risk box. Testnet is exempt because no real funds are at stake.

  1. Switch the mode to Live (Delta India). A red banner reads Live mode uses real funds.
  2. Open the Risk Disclosure link and read it.
  3. Tick the box. It reads I have read the Risk Disclosure and accept that I am responsible for trades placed through my live Delta account. I understand I can lose more than my deposit and that backtests are not forecasts.
  4. The button stays disabled and reads Acknowledge risk to save until the box is ticked, then it reads Save & validate.
The tick resets if you switch back to testnet, so a stale acknowledgement never carries over to a later live connection.

Read the key-safety checklist and change your password

The Key safety panel lists the settings we recommend on your Delta key. The Password card lets you set a new one.

  1. Read the Key safety rows: Enable Trading permission, Keep Withdraw permission DISABLED, Allowlist Vecktor's IP on the key. These are recommendations Vecktor cannot verify, so they show a neutral arrow, not a green tick.
  2. Note the one green-tick row: Your keys are encrypted server-side at rest · AES-256-GCM. That is a fact about Vecktor, so it is checked.
  3. To change your password, click Change password, fill Current password, New password (min 8 chars), and Confirm new password. Click Update password.
Changing the password requires your current one, so a stolen session cannot change it. If your account signs in with Google, there is no Vecktor password to change; manage it through Google instead. Forgot your password? Sign out and use the Forgot password link on the sign-in page.

Turn on two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (a second sign-in step beyond your password) is optional but recommended. It uses any standard authenticator app.

  1. Click Enable 2FA.
  2. Step 1: scan the QR code (or paste the secret) into Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or any TOTP app.
  3. Step 2: enter the 6-digit code your app shows, then click Verify + enable.
  4. Save the 10 recovery codes shown once. Use Copy all or Download .txt, store them safely, then click I've saved them.
  5. Later, use Regenerate recovery codes if you are running low (the old 10 stop working at once), or Disable 2FA to go back to password-only.
Each recovery code works once. They are shown only at enroll or regenerate time and are never displayed again. If you lose your authenticator and your codes, you can be locked out, so keep them somewhere safe.

Set the daily loss limit

The daily loss limit is an account-level kill switch (an automatic stop). When today's combined profit and loss on Vecktor-opened positions hits the floor you set, every open position is flattened (closed) and new orders are blocked until midnight IST.

  1. Read the live readout: Realized today, Unrealized, Total today, and Open positions.
  2. Type a rupee amount in the limit field (for example 5000) and click Save.
  3. Leave the field empty (or click Clear) to switch the kill switch off.
  4. If the limit trips, a banner appears and new orders are blocked. Click Override cooldown only if you accept the risk; the cooldown auto-resets at midnight IST regardless.
The limit only counts positions Vecktor opened; it never touches positions you opened elsewhere. The rupee figure uses a USDT to INR rate shown under the field (live, or a static fallback if the source is unreachable).

Set the slippage cap

The slippage cap (slippage is the gap between your expected price and the real fill) sits just under the daily loss limit. It aborts an order before it reaches Delta if the price has moved too far since you clicked.

  1. Type a percent in the cap field (for example 2).
  2. Click Save.
  3. Use about 1 to 3 percent for liquid options and 5 percent or more for thin (lightly traded) contracts.
  4. Leave it empty (or click Disable) to turn the abort off.
The cap must be between 0 and 50 percent. A cap that is too tight can abort orders you wanted to fill; one that is too loose lets the price drift further before the order goes through.

Choose your in-app and email alerts

Two cards control where you hear about events: In-app notifications (bell) and Email notifications.

  1. In the In-app notifications (bell) card, toggle the kinds you want: Position closed (fills), Kill-switch trips, Credits running low, System messages, Include paper bot fills, Backtest complete, Monitor exits (SL / TP / trail / time), TP-ladder partial fills, Slippage aborts, Order reconciler alerts, and Daily loss limit breach.
  2. In the Email notifications card, set an Override email (optional) if you want alerts sent somewhere other than your account email.
  3. Toggle the email kinds: Position closed (fills), Kill-switch trips, Include paper bot fills, Monitor exits, Daily loss limit breach, Order reconciler alerts, and Backtest complete.
  4. Click Save preferences.
Bot errors are always shown in the bell and have no toggle, because they are critical. The Backtest complete email is off by default since runs are usually quick and the bell ping is enough.

Turn on the tick sound and restore page-help links

Two small cards: Sound adds an audio tick on the monitor, and Page help links brings back the in-app guide links you have hidden.

  1. In the Sound card, click Test to hear it once, then click the Off button to flip it to On. This enables the tick when you press j or k to move between rows on /monitor.
  2. Note the tick's pitch tracks the row's 24h direction (gainer = high, loser = low). It is off by default.
  3. In the Page help links card, click Show again to bring back every dismissed New here? See how this page works link across the app.

Connect TradingView webhooks

A webhook (a URL a chart alert calls) lets TradingView alerts fire orders. Each webhook carries its own secret.

  1. Type a Webhook name (optional) and click Create webhook.
  2. In the New webhook ready box, copy the Webhook URL and the Alert message body (JSON) right away. The secret shows only once.
  3. Paste the URL and JSON into your TradingView alert.
  4. Each webhook's row shows triggered N× and last fired time. Click Revoke to disable one; any alert using it stops firing.
Webhooks can fire live orders, so treat the URL like a password. Revoking is immediate and cannot be reversed; you would have to create a new webhook and update TradingView.

Export or delete your data

The Account card at the bottom covers your data rights under the DPDP Act 2023.

  1. Under Export your data, click Export JSON to download everything Vecktor holds about you (bots, trades, events, webhooks, notification prefs) as a file. API key secrets are redacted; metadata only.
  2. Under Delete account, click Delete my data to permanently remove every row tied to your account.
  3. In the Delete all your data? dialog, click Yes, delete everything. You are signed out right after.
Delete cannot be undone. It removes Vecktor's data but your sign-in record stays with the auth provider; use the Contact page if you want that wiped too.
