Binance Auto-Sync Setup

TradeLog supports automatic trade synchronization with Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. By connecting your Binance API keys, your spot and futures trades are automatically imported into your TradeLog journal.

Creating Binance API Keys

1. 1Log in to your Binance account at binance.com.
2. 2Go to Account > API Management.
3. 3Click "Create API" and give it a label (e.g., "TradeLog Sync").
4. 4Complete the security verification (2FA, email, etc.).
5. 5IMPORTANT: Enable only "Read" permissions. Do NOT enable trading, withdrawal, or transfer permissions.
6. 6Do NOT add an IP restriction to the key -- TradeLog syncs from cloud servers whose addresses change, so an IP-restricted key breaks sync. Read-only permissions are the protection.
7. 7Copy both the API Key and Secret Key.

Connecting to TradeLog

1. 1In TradeLog, open Connections from the sidebar.
2. 2Click the Binance card, then "Add Connection."
3. 3Paste your API Key and Secret Key.
4. 4Click "Test Connection" to verify the keys work.
5. 5Select the TradeLog account to link -- its crypto market type (Spot, Futures, or Both) controls what is synced.
6. 6Save the connection.

What Gets Synced

• Spot trades for popular and currently-held symbols, with prices, quantities, and fees (Binance provides no full spot-history endpoint).
• Futures trades: long/short positions with entry, exit, PnL, and funding fees.
• Trade history is fetched going back as far as Binance allows (typically 3-6 months).
• Balance information for multi-asset portfolio tracking.

Sync Frequency

TradeLog auto-syncs your exchange connection once a day (around midnight UTC). You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the Accounts page by clicking the sync icon on the account card. Trades are deduplicated, so running sync multiple times will not create duplicate entries.
