How it works 1. **Make a read-only key** In Binance API Management, create a key with reading on and trading and withdrawals off. Copy the key and its secret. 2. **Paste it in** Pick Binance and paste both. The key can read your fills and balance, and it cannot place an order or move a coin. 3. **Read the record** Fills land in your journal with fees attached, broken down by pair, hour and setup, and Edge points at what to fix. Results by hour ## Binance never closes. See which hours pay you. Example Example data, not a real result: expectancy in R for each hour of the day, with fees and funding on the trade they belong to. Your own breakdown reads the fills your Binance key syncs. Verified ## A record the exchange backs, not a screenshot. A fill synced from a live Binance key carries the verified seal on your record and your public page, so a reader knows the trade came from the exchange and not from a spreadsheet. - Broker-verified badge on synced trades - A public record anyone can check - Hand-logged trades labelled self-reported Analytics ## Find the hours Binance pays you. Binance never closes, so results break down by hour and weekday as well as by pair and setup. Fees and matched funding payments sit on the trade they belong to. - Expectancy by pair and by hour - Fees and funding on each trade - Drawdown per account Backtester ## Rehearse the setup before it costs you. Replay a crypto chart bar by bar on real historical candles, place simulated entries, and set the results beside your synced Binance trades. - Real historical candles - Bar-by-bar replay - Unlimited sessions on Pro What is free ## Free syncs one Binance account into your journal hourly, and logging by hand or CSV is free too.

FAQ ### What do I need from Binance to connect? An API key and its secret, created in API Management with reading enabled. Binance asks for no passphrase, and trading and withdrawal permissions should stay off. ### Can DT Terminal trade or withdraw with my key? No. With trading and withdrawals switched off the key can only read, and DT Terminal only reads with it: fills, fees, funding, deposits, withdrawals and balance. ### Which Binance trades come across? Spot and USDT perpetual fills on the major pairs and on every coin you hold, with fees converted into the pair's currency. Coin-margined contracts are skipped with a notice, because their profit is paid in the coin. ### Why is my Binance balance blank? A balance is valued in cash and stablecoins only, and DT Terminal never guesses a coin price. While the account holds a coin such as BTC or BNB the balance is left out rather than understated, and your trades keep syncing. ### Can I connect a Binance testnet key first? Yes. Choose Sandbox / testnet when you connect and testnet fills sync the same way. They are practice trades, so they never carry the verified seal. ### Is Binance sync free? Yes, for one account. On the free plan one Binance account connects with a read-only key and its trades sync into your journal hourly, with the verified seal on your public passport. Plus, $9 a month or $89 a year, links more accounts and syncs on demand. Logging Binance trades by hand or from a CSV is free. ## Make one read-only key and let Binance fill the record. Free syncs one Binance account into your journal. Plus and Pro add more accounts.
