Trading journal: connecting Binance

The Journal is a trading journal that keeps itself: it builds from your Binance futures account (USDⓈ-M): positions, entry and exit, PnL, fees and funding. It needs a read-only API key.

Create a key on Binance

1. Binance → Profile → API Management → Create API → System generated.
2. In the restrictions leave read only. Do not enable Spot/Margin, Futures, Withdrawals or transfers.
3. Do not set an IP restriction: otherwise our server cannot read the account.
4. Copy the API Key and the Secret Key. Binance shows the Secret Key only once.

Connect it in Liqdar

1. Click your name in the top right → Settings («Настройки») → Exchange key for the journal («Биржевой ключ для дневника»).
2. Paste the API Key and the Secret Key, tick that the key is read-only and press Check and connect («Проверить и подключить»).
3. We check the key’s permissions. The first history load takes 1–3 minutes; the page refreshes itself.

After that the Journal («Дневник») tab appears. The server syncs the account every 5 minutes; the Sync («Синхронизировать») button does it right away.
