# Security Best Practices

## Wallet Security

**Hardware Wallet Integration:** Use Ledger or Trezor hardware wallets for maximum security when connecting to QuantsEdge. Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline and provide the highest level of protection against online threats.

**Seed Phrase Protection:** Never share your seed phrase with anyone, including QuantsEdge support. Store it offline in a secure location, never take photos or store it digitally, and consider using a metal backup for fire/water protection.

**Multi-Signature Setup:** For large accounts, consider using multi-signature wallets that require multiple approvals for transactions, providing an additional layer of security against single points of failure.

## Account Security

**Two-Factor Authentication:** Enable 2FA wherever possible, use authenticator apps instead of SMS when available, and keep backup codes in a secure location separate from your main device.

**Regular Security Audits:** Review your connected wallets monthly, check for any unauthorized transactions, verify all active trading bots are legitimate, and update your security practices as threats evolve.

**Network Security:** Only access QuantsEdge from trusted networks, avoid public WiFi for trading activities, use a VPN when necessary, and ensure your home network is properly secured.

## Trading Security

**Position Limits:** Set appropriate position size limits based on your risk tolerance, never risk more than you can afford to lose, and regularly review and adjust limits as your account grows.

**Kill Switch Usage:** Familiarize yourself with the kill switch functionality, test it regularly to ensure it works properly, and use it immediately if you notice any suspicious activity.

**Regular Monitoring:** Check your trading activity daily, review all executed trades for legitimacy, monitor for any unexpected behavior, and maintain detailed records of all trading activities.

## Emergency Procedures

**Suspected Compromise:** Immediately stop all trading activities, disconnect your wallet from QuantsEdge, change all passwords and security settings, and contact support at <support@quantsedge.ai>.

**Lost Access:** If you lose access to your wallet, follow your wallet provider's recovery procedures, contact support for assistance with QuantsEdge-specific issues, and never share recovery information with anyone claiming to be support.

**Regular Backups:** Keep offline backups of all important information, test your recovery procedures regularly, and ensure multiple trusted people know your emergency procedures if needed.
