# CEX trading

CEX Trading allows clients to connect exchange accounts and trade directly on centralized exchanges via GUI or API. Currently supported exchanges are Binance and Kraken (additional exchanges are available upon request).

Market data is streamed from the connected exchange via Quote Streams, and orders are routed for execution on the CEX using the client’s account. Orders are executed on the exchange if there is sufficient collateral.

1. Contact the Finery Markets team
2. Provide your exchange API credentials
3. Whitelist FineryMarkets IPs (if applicable)
4. Complete the connection setup with the team

1. Go to Trading
2. Select an instrument available on your connected CEX
3. Select Source as Binance or Kraken&#x20;
4. Enter order size, type, and price (if applicable)
5. Place an Order
