Connecting Binance lets Viktury sync your trades automatically. The key you create only needs read access, so Viktury can see your trade history but can never place an order or withdraw.
Create a read-only API key on Binance
- Sign in to Binance and open the API management area in your account settings (look for "API Management").
- Create a new API key and complete the security checks Binance asks for. It will give you an API Key and a Secret Key.
- Set the permissions to reading only. Enable the read option (often shown as "Enable Reading") and leave the trading and withdrawal options switched off. Do not enable spot, margin, or futures trading, and do not enable withdrawals.
- Copy the API Key and the Secret Key. The secret is shown only once, so save it before you close the page.
Add it to Viktury
On the Add account screen, choose Binance, name the account, and paste your API Key and API Secret into the matching fields. Save, and Viktury runs its first sync.
Futures and funding
A read-only key syncs your spot trades. Binance only shares futures trades and funding payments with a key that has "Enable Futures" switched on, and it only lets you switch that on after you restrict the key to trusted IP addresses. The Add account screen shows the IP addresses Viktury connects from.
Keep in mind that "Enable Futures" also allows futures trading with the key. Viktury never places an order, but if you would rather keep the key read-only, leave futures off and import your futures trades from a Binance CSV export instead. A CSV export does not include funding payments.
Troubleshooting
- Key rejected. Check for extra spaces in the pasted values and confirm the key is enabled on Binance. If you restricted the key to specific IP addresses, that can also block the sync.
- No trades showing yet. Give the first sync a moment. If the account or the chosen range has no fills, there is nothing to import yet.
- Permissions too narrow or too broad. If syncing fails, make sure reading is enabled on the key. If you turned on any trading or withdrawal permission, switch it off: Viktury never uses it.
