Connecting OANDA — getting the API token right

OANDA tokens come from your OANDA dashboard → Manage API Access → Generate. Copygram needs: - Account ID (looks like `001-001-1234567-001`) - API token

Make sure you generate the token on the same environment (live vs practice) as the account you're connecting. 90% of the failed connections I help with are people generating a practice token and trying to connect a live account.

Worth adding: if you're on a 2-step challenge make sure you're on the Demo2 server during phase 1.

Great write-up. One thing — the EA file needs algo trading enabled globally too, not just on the chart.
