2
Find your Account ID

Log into OANDA, then go to My Account → Manage Funds. Your Account ID is shown at the top of the page.

It looks like: 001-001-12345678-001

Account ID location in OANDA dashboard

My Account → Manage Funds → Account ID (top of page)


3
Generate an API token

In OANDA, go to My Account → API Access. Click Generate to create a new token.

Copy it immediately — OANDA only shows the token once. If you lose it, you'll need to revoke and generate a new one.

The token needs trade access (read + write positions). Read-only tokens will not work.

4
Enter your credentials in Egbert

Paste your Account ID and API token into the registration form. That's it.

Your funds stay in your OANDA account.
Egbert uses your API token to place trades on your behalf — it never holds your money, never transfers funds, and never stores your OANDA password. You can revoke API access from OANDA at any time.
