How it works 1. **Make a read-only key with a passphrase** In KuCoin's API settings, create a key with trading and withdrawal left off. KuCoin has you set a passphrase for the key, so note it beside the key and the secret. 2. **Paste all three in** Pick KuCoin from the exchange list and paste the API key, the secret and the passphrase. DT Terminal checks the key with KuCoin before anything is saved. 3. **Read the record** Spot fills pair into trades with the fee on each one, the numbers break down by pair, hour and setup, and Edge points at what to fix. Results by hour ## Crypto never closes. See which hours pay you. Example Example data, not a real result: expectancy in R for each hour of the day, net of the fee on each trade. Your own breakdown reads the fills your KuCoin key syncs. Verified ## The proof comes from KuCoin, not from you. A trade read from KuCoin through your key carries the verified seal on your record and on your public page. A trade you type in stays marked self-reported, so anyone reading the record can tell the two apart. - Verified seal on synced trades - Self-reported trades labelled as such - A public record you can link to Analytics ## See what the fees and the hours are doing to you. Filter by pair, weekday, hour or setup and win rate, expectancy and profit factor recompute. The fee is already taken out of every synced trade, so the net figure is the one you actually kept. - Win rate, expectancy and profit factor - Results by pair, hour and weekday - Fees paid in another coin converted where a price exists Backtester ## Test the next idea before it costs a fee. Replay a crypto chart bar by bar, place simulated entries and exits, and read the session's numbers before you put the idea on KuCoin. - Bar-by-bar replay on historical candles - Win rate, expectancy and drawdown per session - Unlimited sessions on Pro What is free ## Free syncs one KuCoin account into your journal hourly, and logging by hand or CSV is free too.

FAQ ### What does DT Terminal need from KuCoin? Three things from one API key: the key, its secret, and the passphrase you set when you created it. Leave trading and withdrawal permissions off. A KuCoin key without its passphrase is refused when you connect. ### Can DT Terminal trade or withdraw with my KuCoin key? No. With a read-only key DT Terminal can read fills and balances and nothing else, so it can never place an order or move funds. The key is stored encrypted and removed when you disconnect. ### Does KuCoin Futures sync? Not today. The connection reads your KuCoin spot trades. KuCoin Futures runs on a separate API that DT Terminal does not connect to yet, so log those trades by hand or import them from a CSV. ### Why is my KuCoin balance not showing? DT Terminal values a balance in cash and stablecoins only and never guesses a coin price. While the account holds a coin such as BTC, the balance is left blank rather than half right. Your trades keep syncing either way. ### Are KuCoin trading fees included? Yes. The fee on each fill comes off the trade's net result. A fee paid in a different coin is converted into the pair's quote currency at the price when the sync runs, and if no price exists it is counted at face value and the sync tells you so. ## Make the key, and let KuCoin fill the record. Free syncs one KuCoin account into your journal. Plus and Pro add more accounts.
