Why connect more than one exchange
Most people start with the exchange where their money already is. A second exchange helps when you want pairs that only one of them lists, prefer to spread funds between accounts, or want bots to keep working while one exchange is under maintenance.
Each bot trades on one exchange. Keys, balances and cycles stay separate, and you see all bots in one app.
