How do I stop all trading immediately?
If you need to halt all OpenClaw trading right away, you can use the “kill switch” by:
Command: “Stop all trading” in OpenClaw. No confirmation is required.
From the Main Menu: Tap More > Agent Key > Delete key
After using the “kill switch”:
Your API key will be disabled
Pending orders will be canceled
No further trades can be made
Trades that are already being processed at the moment you trigger the “kill switch” will still be executed. Previously executed trades will not be reversed.
To resume trading after using the “kill switch,” you must generate a new API key from the Crypto.com App.
What is the difference between the “kill switch” and regenerating my API key?
Feature | Kill Switch | Regenerate API Key |
API Key | Disabled immediately | Old key invalidated; new key issued |
Pending Orders | Canceled | Preserved |
Use Case | When you suspect your account has been compromised | When you want to refresh your key for rotation or reconfiguration |
Can OpenClaw withdraw my funds?
No. The API key never grants withdrawal or transfer permissions. OpenClaw can only execute trades and read your balance, portfolio, and market data.
What should I do if I think my API key has been compromised?
Follow these steps if you think your API key has been compromised:
Immediately send “stop all trading” to your OpenClaw or tap Delete key in your Agent Key hub
Review your transaction history in the Crypto.com App
Generate a new API key when you are ready to resume
Never share your API key or secret key in screenshots, chat messages, or public forums. Crypto.com will never ask for your API key or secret key via email, chat, or phone.
