info

Double check Account Index, API Key Index, Public Key, and Private Key before saving. Any mismatch in these values will prevent your Lighter account from connecting to Tealstreet.

If all the details are correct, you will have successfully linked your Lighter account to Tealstreet.

  • Close options and navigate to the Main Trading page of the Tealstreet terminal and select the Lighter account you just linked to enable it.
    • If properly linked, you will see your balance appear in the Margin window of Tealstreet. Happy trading!!!
