FAQ ### Which Coinbase API key do I need? A Coinbase Advanced Trade API key. DT Terminal asks for the key and its secret, with no passphrase, and the key only needs permission to view your account. ### Can DT Terminal trade or withdraw with my Coinbase key? No. Create the key with trading and withdrawals switched off. DT Terminal uses it to read fills and balances and can never place an order or move funds. ### What syncs from Coinbase? Your spot fills, paired into trades, with the fee Coinbase charged on each. Deposits and withdrawals in cash or stablecoins come across too, where Coinbase reports them. ### Why is my Coinbase balance not showing? DT Terminal values a balance in cash and stablecoins only, and never guesses a coin price. While the account holds BTC, ETH or any other coin, the balance stays unsynced instead of showing a partial number. Your trades keep syncing either way. ### Is Coinbase sync free? Yes, for one account. A free account connects one Coinbase account and its trades sync into your journal hourly, with the verified seal on your public passport. More accounts and on-demand sync start on Plus, $9 a month or $89 a year. You can also log Coinbase trades by hand or import a CSV, up to 50 trades a batch, on any plan. ## Put your Coinbase fills where you can learn from them. Free syncs one Coinbase account into your journal. Plus and Pro add more accounts.
