AI Requires Your Own API Key

Nexus EA uses DeepSeek AI for market analysis. We do not provide an API key - you must create your own account at platform.deepseek.com.

Estimated cost: ~£18/month (~$22) based on typical usage.

How to Get Your DeepSeek API Key:

  1. Visit platform.deepseek.com
  2. Create an account and add credits ($5-10 to start)
  3. Go to API Keys section and create a new key
  4. Copy the key and paste it in the EA settings
