How to trade on Coinbase Pro

If you have accounts on multiple exchanges, you can connect and manage them all on Cryptowatch.
You can connect your exchange accounts by generating API keys on the exchange site, then plugging those keys into Cryptowatch’s Exchange Keys page. See this article for some tips on API key security, if you haven’t already.

Connecting your Coinbase Pro Account to Cryptowatch
You will need an account at Coinbase Pro first. Then we'll connect that account to Cryptowatch. 
In Cryptowatch, click the profile icon in the top-right corner, then select Exchange Keys from the menu: 
Find the Exchange Keys link in your Account menu, in the top-right of any Cryptowatch page.
The Exchange Keys page is where you can plug in API keys from trading- and portfolio-enabled exchanges into Cryptowatch:
The Exchange Keys page is used to connect your exchange accounts to Cryptowatch.
Click the “Generate key here” link inside the Coinbase Pro square. 
If you are logged in to Coinbase Pro already, this will take you directly to the exchange’s API page. Otherwise, you will first be prompted to log in. Log in with your Coinbase Pro credentials to continue. 
To find the API page from Coinbase Pro, click your profile name in the top-right of the Coinbase Pro interface and select API
Next, on Coinbase Pro, click the +New API Key button to generate a new key:
Here it is, brightened up for you.
Set the API key permissions
A window will open where you can choose which of your Coinbase Portfolios to connect (if you have more than one), choose a nickname for the new key, and add permissions. Only the View and Trade permissions are required to connect to Cryptowatch — do not grant withdrawal permissions. 
IP Whitelisting is not yet supported for Coinbase Pro. If enabled, you will receive the error message: unhandled error.
Before you click the blue Create API Key button, copy the Passphrase.
Your passphrase won't be pixelated. Paste it into the Key Passphrase field on the Cryptowatch Exchange Keys page (the third, or bottom-most field):
One down, two to go.
Once you’ve done that, go ahead and click the blue CREATE API KEY button. You will be prompted to enter a 2-Step Verification code — enter the 7 digit code sent by text and click the ADD AN API KEY button:
Again, yours won't look so pixel-y
Next you will receive your API secret key — click the box containing the key to copy it to the clipboard:
We do NOT recommend backing up or storing your secret keys. If you need to reconnect Cryptowatch to an exchange for any reason, generate a new key from your exchange. 
Paste the secret key into the “API Secret” field one Exchange Keys page on Cryptowatch (the middle field): 
That's two out of three now.
Nearly finished — back on Coinbase Pro, you can click the DONE button below your API Secret Key to close the window. This will you return to the Coinbase Pro API Settings page, only now we can see the API key we created. 
This is the last part — click on the string of letters and numbers to copy it to your clipboard:
Finally, paste the API Key into the API Key field back on the Cryptowatch Exchange Keys page (the first, or top-most field). 
When you do, Cryptowatch will automatically finish connecting to your Coinbase Pro account. Once connected, the Coinbase Pro box will change color and no longer show the 3 API key input fields: 
Done, done & done.
Now you can place and cancel orders and manage your Coinbase Pro portfolio on Cryptowatch. If you’re new to Cryptowatch, try following the New User Guide to get acquainted with the interface.
