Connect Binance with a read-only key

Flicker reads positions, balances and orders with this key. Where Binance reports its permissions, Flicker refuses a key that can trade or withdraw, so create a read-only one.

On Binance

  1. Sign in to Binance, open your profile icon, then Account › API Management.

  2. Choose Create API, then System-generated, and name the key Flicker.

  3. Keep Enable Reading on and leave every other permission off, Enable Futures included.

    API key permissions

    • ReadSee positions, balances and ordersOn
    • TradePlace or cancel ordersOff
    • WithdrawMove funds outOff
    Illustration. Each exchange names these permissions in its own words.

  4. Restrict the key to Flicker's IP address, 18.153.160.58. It's recommended for security.

  5. Confirm with your 2FA, then copy the API Key and Secret Key.

  6. Paste it below. Where the exchange reports it, Flicker checks what the key can do before saving it.

What you'll see after connecting

  • Every open position with entry, mark and unrealized P&L, beside your other exchanges.
  • Binance doesn't share stops with Flicker yet, so its positions read “Not reported by this exchange” and the loss-at-stop total leaves them out.
  • Flicker's read on each asset you hold: its verdict and how many factors agree.
  • Closed trades as a record and a weekly review. R needs the stop at entry, which Binance doesn't share yet.

If something goes wrong

When Binance rejects a key, check that it was copied whole, has read access and allows 18.153.160.58. Each message below comes with its fix.
