*Important : if you tick the withdrawals field, funds can be withdrawn through API key. It is highly recommanded to **never*** ***tick withdrawal option to any API keys.***
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
*Note : API Key created before your Futures account ope&#x6E;**,** does not support Futures API service. So if you created an API key first and opened a Futures account after that, your old API key will not work for Futures trading. You will need to create a brand new API key.*
